**Please Don't** Mantis gametype

If anything make this for custom people but don’t incorporate a gametype that only plays with the Mantis. That would certainly turn this game into a Mech based game especially if we have to vote on the maps and gametype that we want to play. I started to worry about this after seeing hog race take over in Reach. Each time it pops up you already know that’s the one we’re going to play.

I’m Falkin and I approve this message.

halo isn’t a vehicle-based shooter

and warthog race was… RACING
the mantis would be kinda boring to have fight against 10 others of the same type…

did 343 even say that there was gonna be a mantis game type?

Sry, I already Have My Mantis Mowdown Gametype on a Spreadsheet.

While a custom game type like that could be fun I don’t want it in War Games.
Maybe include it in Action Stack but even then… I wouldn’t want to play it more then once.

> halo isn’t a vehicle-based shooter

Vehicle based? No, but Halo has always had vehicle gameplay that was not only a big part of the game, but really well done in terms of the whole industry.

I’m just afraid that this Mantis will take over and turn a solid game into a mediocre game. There will be kids that want to play this but like yall said, I would rather see it in Action Sack or its own like grifball but not in the main game play.

I for one would mine a mech warfare map. Will help me remember the fun of mechassault.

Not that I know of but I can see where the Mantis might go. I like that they added something into Halo that we haven’t seen before but also don’t want 343 getting away from the Halo experience.
