I would certainly like to see it in Halo: Infinite or failing that a future Halo game. My one request If they do bring it back is to add a rendition of the mantis theme from Halo 4-5 as that was one of my favorite themes from Halo 4-5. They could even make mantis variants similar to how the warthog has the rocket and gauss variants, only thing is I don’t know what the Mantis variants would be.

If there is no gauss warthog there will be no mantis both are too powerful and don’t fit in the sandbox sadly.

Honestly no i don’t. It never really fit into the UNSC that Bungie had established as a more grounded army. Sure they have space ships but all their vehicles seemed very similar to our own. The Covenant had mech like vehicles in the Scarab and the mantis seemed to be more of a 343 thing and now that they have gone back to the Bungie art style im not sure it fits.
If it does come back i wont be upset at all i just have no desire to see it come back. I do wish some other vehicles would come back so i do get the sentiment.

But surely that just means they will just need to rebalance it.
It’s in the oil painting. I think it will appear in DLC.
Wdym oil painting? Lol

probably not 343 would probably make a new vehicle that looks more like a amozon package
I highly doubt it. They didn’t even include the gauss hog.

Man I loved the Mantis. I remember seeing it for the first time in Halo 4 as you fought your way through the halls and decks of Infinity with the bad*ss theme playing in the background. I’m huffing that copium. Even if it just appears in campaign DLC and not multiplayer maps, I’m still happy. One request though if they do bring it back in campaign DLC is to also add it into customs so it can be also be used in custom games/forge.

Maybe, but it’ll probably be a 20$ - 30$ DLC.

Given that they put in the Hydra my guess is it was cut content. Which people are rationalising as sandbox balance.
So we might get it when Halo The Endless comes out in 2025.
I don’t expect anything new from 343 anymore. I have to lower my standards to protect myself from disappointment.

I hope they add it as a FOB drop. As I would love to be able to call it in at the base. My biggest request though is that we get the Mantis theme in game when we’re walking about in it as though would just complete the experience.
