SatanicBagels Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I've seen tons of threads stating that the Mantis is OP and thousands of posts from people saying that they love the Mantis... This is not one of those threads. Based on your experiences as a Halo player which vehicle set do you prefer? Do you prefer lobbing purple balls of death over the central hill from your wraith or do you prefer the Mantis? I'll go ahead and make a pro-con list to show my reasoning... MANTIS: ~ More of a dominant threat on the map. Can wreck vehicles as well as infantry. ~ Limits the air capabilities of the Banshee. ~ Balanced by it's inability to effectively cross midfield. WRAITH: ~ Makes the banshee more powerful as the Wraith cannot effectively counter the banshee. ~ More of a skillful vehicle. ~ More of a tank; less fragile. So with all of this considered I am completely indifferent to a winner. To me I love both vehicles on this map and cannot name a favorite. With this one must ask...

Chris Hansen Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Both vehicles have the same niche, but perform them in different ways. The mantis isn't nearly as tough, but it has versitility in it's weapons. The wraith has a powerful single shot, but also has the ability to boost and splater other vehicles and players. The real question is what wins, wraith vs. mantis? I would have to go with the wraith if I had a clear choice, but on Ragnarok the mantis is probobly better as it can hide behind geometry much better. Also, I think a skilled wraith will definitely beat a skilled mantis. That lobbed shot is just murder if you can make it connect directly, I bet it one-shots a mantis.

OMG Treason Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Honestly I would prefer neither, I like it better without the constant threat of the Mantis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albinoxeno Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 wraith. i hate the mantis and how it plays on ragnorok. but the thought of one side having a wraith and the other a mantis seems pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHIL0S0PHY Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 This maybe the only time I choose something H4 over halo 3, but the mantis, only because it is more fun, but it is way over powered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
