There are 2 Mantis on Halo 4’s Ragnarok a remake of Halo 3’s Valhalla.
What gametypes will the Mantis be in? I’m hoping its only in the heavy variant of the map because wouldn’t TWO large ultra powerful mechs just break the map and be overpowered?
Imagine a game mode where everyone gets their own mantis…

I’m praying they’ve added the ability to spawn in vehicles in customs…
I think with the amount of power weapons in game and vehicle damage from standard weapons it will be no different than having a tank on map.
It looks easy enough to take down.
All-out Mantis battle FTW
That mantis was Tbaging at the end of that video. Made my day.
They’ve shown off gameplay of the Mantis being in Infinity Slayer and CTF game variants, so I’d assume the Mantis is on Ragnarok for all standard game variants. It seems that it’s replaced the Warthog/Wraith, although I hope the Mantis is restricted to only some gametypes.
Mantis seemed OP in my opinion

I saw a Warthog in the trailer…
The mantis will be deemed too powerfull and replaced with a wraith a month after release.

When it was shooting yes. Hopefully rockets will have a long recharge time or small ammo capacity and the gun will overheat
But it is a big target and causes alot of attention and becomes a focus, doesnt seem too hard to take down
Once i see that ill be sure to focus on it and make sn enemy tank shoot it

OMFG THESE. I want to make a Mech Assault gametype so much.
My first thougth on it,
wow it looks amazing. Both the map and the mech. It does seem overpowered in the trailer, but the trailer is ment for it to look good. we 'll have to see and experience if it actually is overpowered

I’m praying they aren’t so stingy on the amount of things I can put in a forged map.

As was the Scorpion.
I think it looks fantastic but it can be boarded and grenaded just like the Wraith so it should be ok. As long as there are enough power weapons on the map which can kill it. It better not end up like the Scorpion in Reach where its removed from nearly every map it was fun on.
Seems OP in the trailer, and considering that Halo 4 is official “gold” that’s what it’ll be like in-game (and not trailer exclusive.)
I sure hope the Rockets I saw + the Spartan Laser which spawns in the middle of the map are incredibly effective against it.

It’s going to be Mech Assault all over again with a Halo twist.
All hail Metal Gear Mantis!

I see why 343 labeled this map Ragnarok. Not just because of the norse theme, but because it’s literally going to be the end of your day when facing one of these brutal machines.
