I played Johnson three times last night (once against an AI, twice in Blitz), and I gotta say, the abilities are good for him. They make sense.
What doesn’t make sense for him are the Mantis and Colossus. If anything, you would think Isabel has those while Johnson has buffed tanks, Gauss Hornets (you read that right), and Gauss Hogs.
As Isabel is meant to be the SoF’s line to current UNSC technology, this just makes more sense.
On a side note, is anyone else getting a Steel Talons/C&C3KW vibe from Johnson+mech army?

I see what you say but the Mantis isn’t a new unit in halo lore. It entered service in 2403 and the Colossus before then. The reason we didn’t see them in past Halo games is because they hadn’t been invented. But yeah I think Johnson is very good for defence roles.
