So from what I’ve seen in BTB the Warthog and Scorpion are about useless, I mean Warthogs are just asking for death and Scorpions don’t drive 3 feet before they are EMP’d and blown up. I did get an overkill with a Scorpion the other day but it was in the first ten seconds of entering the vehicle, then I got blown up.
The most dangerous vehicle in this game is the Banshee, but with the flood of power weapons on the map it usually doesn’t last long either. Also the Mantis is more of a bullet sponge than a major threat.
So what do you think? Are vehicles even worth entering in Big Team Battle?
Vehicle combat has been broken since Reach and it saddens me that 343 hasn’t changed that. It seems the only thing that they did was make the sniper less effective against vehicles, but there’s still the problem of every other weapon in the game being too powerful against vehicles. Plus, everyone can start with a plasma pistol and plasma grenades. How is that fair to vehicles?
If they were to do only one thing about vehicles, I would hope that they either buff the Hog’s armor or its turret.
I remember in Halo 3 being excited about the next Warthog to spawn. Now it’s truly just a deathtrap.
There not what they were from other Halo gamers that for sure. The tank is on the wrong map. Having both teams gunning for it at the start of a match means that 90% its not going far. With EMp’s flying around everywhere vechicals are easily countered. I find what Warthogs need is a driver who can ignore the urge to splatter. thats killing drivers because they allways try which tends to result in death. They need a change to make them more usefull and tanks need better levels for use because there so easy to take out
Your doing it wrong. Vehicles in my BTB games usually last awhile. TBH the scorpion would last a lot longer if it wasn’t stuck in such a tight map. Its easy to creep up on that thing without using EMP.
Yea vehicle are pretty much just deathtraps. If they contail multiple players they are a multi-kill waiting to happen.
I miss when vehicles were something to be feared.
Something you avoided combat with unless you were in another vehicle or had a power weapon.
i haven’t relied on a vehicle since halo 2.
Its so bad my clan call the warthog a rolling triple kill. We are trained not to use vehicles unless you have a support team right along side it. Like if your in the tank you at least need a sniper and some one with good DMR skills to take out any anti tank players with lasers n RPGS

Hogs don’t last more than a minute in a regular BTB match, even with a good driver/ gunner. Banshees and the Mantis will last for a while if the user is cautious.

Yeah, vehicles are more of a task for other players to protect than they are a threat to the enemy team.
