343i? Frank? What about giving the Mantis….

a jet pack ??
Don´t know how that would work but could be fun.

GIve it a limit like the jet pack for the spartan…maybe shorter.

Ok fellow gamers now smash me down with your complains or share some ideas with me :slight_smile:

hahahahahaha…no. Sorry it will be cheap and too powerful.

I see no benefit to this.

No give it promethien vision.

Why not give it multiple incineration cannons directly. Or better yet give a instant victory to the team who first enters the mantis.

No thanks.

Interesting idea but no. The Mantis is the only shielded vehicle and easily one of the best and you want to give it a Jetpack?

You aren’t serious, are you?

why not? I don´t like the jet pack much but could be fun with the Mantis.
was just an idea sorry :stuck_out_tongue:

In The Book Awakening: The Art Of Halo 4 on Page 114, it is mentiond that originally The Mantis could float. There is consept art of a mantis with trusters.

So 343 did consider it.

Oh, who cares. Give it a Jetpack.

Just make sure to give it 17 Apocalypse Cannons, 54 Shotguns, 8x the shield strength and regen speed, a dress and unlimited Sprint.

Because, you know, who needs balance?

Thank you. Someone who know where I come from :slight_smile:

Why you see it so negative? Even when it can fly, it don´t mean it success all the time.

If they apply it to Mechassualt mechanics. You would be able to float up for a few seconds, but you can’t attack. Sounds fun to me.

Yeah like the Stamp so you can´t shoot while you jet pack :slight_smile:

If you give the Mantis a jetpack, then someone is going to say, give it wings, and then im gonna say, the Mantis is gonna to resemble a Mobile GUNDAM Suit. Let’s leave it the way it is, like an Imperial Walker. That is all.

I already did that on Forge/Custom Impact Map, its a 5v5 Mechwarrior Assault.

Hey I am just doing some brainstorming here :stuck_out_tongue: I don´t beg for a jet pack for the Mantis. It was just an IDEA. Wanted to see what people think. I guess most think of it differently then I do. But ok.

absolutely not.

If you notice, most of these people are overreacting. It could be a good idea, possibly for future Halo games. But it wouldn’t do in Halo 4.

Well that´s why I do this here, I wanna have this maybe in Halo 5. Halo 4 is done so why should I ask for changes? The Mantis is fun in Halo 4 but for Halo 5 I would like to have it a lil more fun :slight_smile:

There is no Halo 5 forum yet so I am sorry I posted it here.
