I find using the mantis hopelessly weak. Stomp hardly ever works and you can be boarded on any side of the vehicle, unlike halo 4 when you could only be boarded at the back. if you have an enemy behind you stomp will not work to kill them.
Yeah, uh, these things are known.
I’ve found it to be pretty much garbage in Warzone, you get blown up or boarded so easily it’s almost a waste of a req to call one in.
Once I get the commo I’m having a garage sale.
it great at walking…
I always spawn at the core base, then walk 10 minutes, then maybe get 1 kill before getting boarded. Except the ONI mantis, it’s a bit better.

Actually, it’s slow as -Yoink-. So I can’t even agree with your sentiment. Maybe we could say it… is gyroscopically stable. There we go.
Pay attention, every time i stepped foot in a mantis it was a killing spree.
It was great in halo 4 .
Absolutely awful in 5
It’s so useless in halo 5. That being said I think it’s a stupid vehicle in general. Why would they make something that walks on 2 legs so slow? Wouldn’t it be better to give it wheels?
Agreed, needs a fix.

My thoughts exactly…

Seconded!
it got nerfed by a lot in H5
I love the mantis, if i’m not chased by the whole eneym team because they need the mantis kill, i get at least 6 to 7 kills with 1 mantis, you just dont have to walk in like your unbreakable, same for every vehicle in the game. The scorpions does worse, when someones behind you u cant do -Yoink-, with the mantis you at least can quickly turn around and give some rockets up is -Yoink- 
It’s crazy that with the same req points you could get an overshield and a blissful slumber and wreck -Yoink- with them.
I dont mind them but to be honest im saving them for firefight.
whenver I use it I get br’d down immediately…also the mg is too weak and it’s very hard to kill infantry with rockets. we need more splash damage on rocks, more health or better shields and more dmg on the mg.
I do happen to find it useful as a means of taking down Banshees and Phaetons since it does have a bit of tracking with its rocket pod.
