BaconShelf Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 In a support role, I can see the covenants Muni-Scarab to be an effective counter to the mantis. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vStealthYx Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 the locust would devastate the mantis 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloody Initiate Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Yeah I'm not quite sure why you thought the Mantis was at all in that weight class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromatic Blue Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Perhaps if the Locust's fireing was adjusted slightly, to make it only able to fire on vehicles (except maybe with another rider), it could be a good Covie addition. Perhaps it needs to charge up and get a lock before firing its beam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGodfatherS117 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 If 343 put the locusts, they should do it less powerful than the ones in Halo wars because they would destroy easily tanks, banshees, mantis, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconShelf Posted January 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 No shielding I would say. Or shielding and light armour. The beam would overheat pretty quickly to be balanced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrometheanSigma Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 If the Locust was nerfed to be a less powerful mech, it could easily be an equal match to the Mantis. That's a genius idea by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadly Just AL Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I think that is a very accurate observation, they do seem to have a relation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrometheanSigma Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I wonder if they could make a bipedal locust... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
