Mantis: Dropped in Cargo Crate

I was justing thinking how the a lot of armies have cargo crates that fall from
the sky with a parachute.

Many science fiction movies show this as well. The new version of predators shows
this in a couple scenes.

Well the ordnance drops got me thinking about how awesome it would be if the
mantis would fall down in a cargo crate big enough to hold it but not to big.
This cargo crate would then fall apart as it hit the ground leaving a plus
sign on the ground like this Box unfolded “Plus sign”

I think this makes it look so much cooler than just it basic spawning. This would
also allow you and your enemies to actually see it spawn from the sky.

This idea would actually make it look like infinity is supplying you with
with mantis instead of it spawning from thin air.

I actually think this would be a very good idea, extremely cool.

A+

thumbs up that would be pretty awesome. You could go one step further and make the box incorporial, so even if some poor sod got caught under it he wouldn’t be killed

no.

dumb idea. PLEASE learn how halo works.

> dumb idea. PLEASE learn how halo works.

How is this a dumb idea when they have ordnance drops in the game?

All it would do it show the cargo crate fly at a really fast rate and then open
when it hits the ground instantaneously .

So plz tell me how this would ruin halo in any way lol

That would be such an amazing idea I love it and it would be a sweet if the crate could kill or crush people!

This is a cool idea. The only problem is that all of the war games take place inside the infinity Holodeck. Therefore, it makes sense that they kinda just appear there.

yes, i love that idea. I’m trying to do that in forge right now.

Ding Ding Ding. Winrar.

I mean i understand that its a simulated battle but if its supposed to be
training then wouldnt they want it to be as close to the real thing as
possible.

If they have ordnance drops then i think this idea wouldn’t
hurt anything since it would be replicating a procedure in battle.
