Well guys, the title says it all. Yeah I know, this might not be JUST the right forum for it, but since it’s directly relevant to Halo Wars 2, felt I should give it a spin!
Me, I’d much rather have the Cyclops. Feels way, way more Halo. The classic UNSC aesthetic loves its gold/orange viewports, rather than relying on cameras. Mantis is fine and all, but I feel like the Cyclops just feels way too badass not to put in 6 instead. Especially considering how uh.
…Bad, the Mantis was in 5.
Dude I’d take both, but after you see the cyclops, there’s no going back.
Mantis legs are too long. It should really have squatter and bulkier legs like ED209 from Robocop or a dreadnought from 40k.
However I think in verse the Mantis is better because it has a chain gun and homing rockets as opposed to a single slow firing cannon. Think Mantis is bigger too.
Actually the Mantis kept its homing rockets in campaign but only the ONI gets this in multiplayer. Its this nerf, as well as nerfing the chaingun that reduced the Mantis effectiveness.
Please don’t revive old topics thanks
