The Mantis is by far the most powerful vehicle in Halo to date. This is because of the fact that it has a chain gun and missile launcher with unlimited amounts of ammo and a melee which makes it nearly impossible to hijack the thing. And the Mantis also has a shield even though it is so hard to take down. And with that shield you can’t quickly get rid of it you would have to use one shot of a Spartan Laser to take out it’s shield then two or more to destroy the actual thing if you even live to manage that. While every other vehicle only takes two or more to be destroyed this takes at least four and to me that just way to strong. And now with the new Mantis types especially the ONI Mantis which basically cools down the gun and reloads the launcher way faster than the other Mantis’s and it is one of the hardest vehicles to destroy not only because it’s the ONI version which gives it extra health but because of it’s shield and already ridiculously high health. And if the Mantis just stays as the most over powered vehicle in Halo playing maps and Warzone with Mantis’s will just be not fun and unfair to the other team.
Simple solution…plasma pistol then Mantis becomes useless, it’s really not that hard to hijack…depending on the current location. There’s usually a 50% chance of the person abandoning the Mantis when they get a plasma attack.
What are you talking about the mantis in halo 5 is useless
I disagree. I have destroyed a bunch of these.
Nearly every vehicle is definitely UNDERPOWERED…
They break way too fast and… the chaingun… oh lord the chaingun…
At first i hoped it was a joke but holy crap the chaingun is soooo bad…
I mean like the ONI versions should take 2 grenades to be killed… but you can only place 1 and than have to board it again…
Its too easy to board vehicles and place a grenade

Easier said then done most of the time you won’t have said plasma pistol to EMP it so your simple solution just went out the window. But that is a good idea that I have used but it’s just in the moment type of a thing.

Yes in Halo 5 there pretty useless, I partly blame that down to the maps being too campy, even tanks get’s spawned killed.

If you can find a player stupid enough to not pay attention to there motion tracker use there vision and are basically idiots than yes it would be easy but if you go up against a player who knows what they are doing you will probably die by the melee.

That is you some people like me have a difficult time not getting crushed shot or exploded by the thing.
the mantis is really weak imo, all vehicles need a slight buff, the mantis is the vehicle i sell now because ive found it useless, and in warzone, i keep my pp’s if they are voids tear, so pping is still an option

I’d have to disagree because in all of the games I have played there is usually a mantis in 4 of the 5 games
If you are reffering to the stronger slower version with rockets capable of sniping then your on the wrong forum as thats the halo 4 mantis. If you are refering to the faster, weaker armored, and lack of precision controlled rockets then you mean the halo 5 mantis, whereby i must disagree with you as the older mantis was more pilot friendly with greater auto aim thus capable of more individual kills for myself.
(But i enjoy the mantis in all versions so far)

Especially in Warzone. I can’t tell you how many times I try to get a vehicle out and get killed right as I get out of the Garage.

Well… i dont use vehicles but destroy them on a dailly basis… back in other halos you werd like “dammn…a scorpion… holy cow… a wraith”
Now i’m like… “uuh… a wraith… lets take that down quickly and proceed the killing”
I think they need a buff because its not even a challange to me to take out vehicles…

Incorrect the ONI Mantis is capable of locking onto targets with the missile but unlike the Halo: 4 version were it locked only onto vehicles which was helpful but in this one they lock onto everything. And the ONI version of every vehicle has the most health buff’s making the ONI Mantis have the most health of all UNSC vehicles.

Underpowering those old ones but I am talking about the Mantis not the Wraith’s also there underpowered now because of the versions that they have made for the vehicles.
The mantis is actually pretty weak. Infact, most vehicles in Halo 5 are weak.

Yes the Garage is beyond stupid when it comes to spawn kills, not sure how that got past the testing phase. It really does seem like 343i have no clue where to make proper spawns or even safe zones, I suspect it’s down to the fact that the current maps are not up to AAA game standards in scale of size, the general design of the maps. It’s like spawning on a base that’s under attack should never lead to spawning in the middle of the enemy. Even Arena has some terrible spawns where spawn killing seems frequent.
I’d Also like to say one more thing about the shield. The shield on a vehicle that already has too much health is useless it just makes it harder to kill it. Though Banshee’s should have shields because they aren’t meant to talk five rockets to the face like the mantis so it makes sense for the more fast and agile vehicle to have a shield not the walking tank.
