All Mantis Playlist

[Cpt Picardo]

I would love to see an all Mantis playlist in matchmaking. Btb on big maps like now but the hole team spawn in either Mantis or a Banshe your choice. Any one else think that would be fun?

[Admiral Ackbar]

I don't think that would work for a playlist in matchmaking. It would get pretty old pretty fast. You could always make a custom map and gametype to play with your friends. No doubt it would be fun for a little bit. But ultimately I think people would get bored and just start to blowup teammates vehicles. Especially if someone wanted a Mantis and got stuck with a Banshee.

 

You should Forge a map like that. See how it works. I could be terribly wrong.

as much as i like the idea of a mech battle, it would be rather limited.

People would eventually be like "Forget this. I'm just going to sneak up on the guy and plant a sticky"

[mosh]

I think this would be really dope. I'd love to play it.

It'd get boring I think...

I was thinking you would be able to choose Mantis or Banshee in the start. But maybe you are right that it would get old fast. I would build a map like that and test it but i have never been any good at forge. Time to learn i guess

Oh. So instead of a loadout you just have the option of Banshee or Mantis? They'd have to make it so you couldn't leave the vehicles. Otherwise you'd just have people jumping out, and hijacking other peoples vehicles. Which generally isn't a bad thing. But if you're trying to make a map that is all Banshee and Mantis, it would have to be addressed.

 

Also that map would be a great starting map. Just clear the map of all existing spawns and what now. Create your own spawns. And only put Banshees and Mantis' on the map. Beware though, in the Forge you can only have so many of each type of vehicle on the map.

Yes exactly like rocket hog race in Reach were you could only leave the vehicle for a few seconds and moved real slow if you did. I was thinking one map could just be a empty kinda big room like the octagon but bigger.

The only problem I see with that is a map that is big enough and empty enough for that. Most maps are pretty hilly. Ragnarok my work.

Ragnarok is the ONLY one that would work I think...

[Admiral Ackbar]

Yeah. Maybe on... yeah. I can't think of anything else. Would any of the non matchmaking maps work? I'm not too familiar with them.

[OMG Treason]

This would be an extreme headache and I would not be playing it. Sorry but I dont think it would work.

[Kopite]

I was actually expecting something like this at launch. I'm sure it's already being done in customs.

[Admiral Ackbar]

You were expecting it at launch? I actually never thought of it until this post.

[Cpt Picardo]

Ragnarok would work and also Exile if you put a wall between red and blue spawn and only use blue side its big enough. You cold also have Mantis war inside in like a octagon shaped map but without Banshee. If anyone already has done a custom game like this please message me and let me in on that action!

You might be able to do something with just the mantis on the Grifball court, the main map is Erosion I think. Just Forge some scenery in there. It would be a really fast paced game. If that's what you're looking for. Or you could just make a giant floating platform on a map, and go from there.

Yes, giant floating platform is a good start. Then add some holes and other stuff so you can fall down. Maybe some of those big death balls if they still have them. Never used forge in H4 but this weekend i will try and build that.

[Admiral Ackbar]

Yeah. We were actually going to make something like that for Griffball. Just so we have a different map to play on. But you could edit it for that.
