Just awful in terms of gameplay, It doesn’t play well with all the weak vehicles and the OP mantis, As well It is way to overplayed in Matchmaking the votes are always gaining on this map, I’ve been in lobbies where this map is picked 3 times in a row. Naturally I will quit these games that go over and over again. Then the annoying JiP puts me back in a different game on RAGNAROK? 343i Please put a maximum amount of times you can play this map in a certain amount of time in one lobby.
I stopped reading when you said the mantis is OP. A plasma pistol wrecks one, not to mention the fact that you can outrange it with other weapons due to it’s terrible accuracy.

Really? I commend you for making it that far I stopped reading after “just awful” after that point I realized he’s stupid.

I am nowhere neer stupid. You are just trolling my topic to get a rouse out of me so please leave. and everyone is entitled to an opinion. Ragnarok plays bad and is picked to much.

The mantis is pretty much a banshee counter, but even with that being said, the banshee can outrange it as well, though not as easily as other weapons.
A banshee is more for killing infantry than vehicles, just like the Ghost.

I just don’t think the Mantis is a good fit. even the wraith would be better like it was in Valhalla in Halo 3.
I do like the addition of the ghost.
as far as I’m concerned I will be annoyed with this map till they start a classic slayer playlist.

So wait everones entitled to an opinion, but my opinion can’t be that your stupid? And you post a thread wasting peoples time about YOUR opinion on this map, yet I’m trolling? OK
> Do you not realize this is a remake. if it didn’t play well it wouldn’t be in the game.
Yes I do, I’m saying it plays bad in the new engines additions of the mantis and the DMR spawns. It plays mediocre. but way overplayed and gets really annoying.

If I had a choice between a Banshee and a Mantis, I always chose the Banshee. I could take out a Mantis easily in it, and it’s much, much more difficult to hijack.
My main problem with Ragnarok is the DMR. I’m not going into the entire ‘is the DMR OP?’ argument, but it simply has too much range capability for a very open map like Valhalla.
One of the main things that made Valhalla play so well in H3 was the H3 BR, which was quite limited in terms of range capability due to spread, the weak zoom and lack of hitscan. It excelled at mid-range as it should, but at long range all it was really good for was descoping snipers, as intended.
This worked really well since players actually needed to push up more to get into a range where their main weapon, the BR, was effective. You could usually move around your base freely and map movement was more viable.
With the DMR, with its strong zoom, histcan bullets and pinpoint accuracy, you don’t really get the same sort of freedom or map movement due to how quickly and easily a DMR user can pick you off at long range. Matches devolve into people sitting in a select few spots, usually on the outskirts of the map, picking people off from half way across the map. You can kill people in/around their bases with ease from turret, hill and sometimes pelican.
Things like binary rifles randomly spawning on one side of the map certainly don’t help either.

DMRs smash the vehicles to pieces, grenades thrown near it start them smoking at least, every single person can carry a plasma pistol and a couple of stickys, random power weapon spawns and ordnance drops mean vehicles are never safe from enemies. All vehicles including the Mantis are the weakest and most vulnerable they have ever been in a Halo. If anyone that is in one is surviving and killing then they know what they are doing and know how to pillar cover and keep from getting boarded too easily.
If you are flying at a mantis in a banshee then yes you are going to get messed up if you dont approach it correctly. I have seen so many people just fly straight at it trying to launch the cannon at it, they are easy targets to get hit by the rockets.
