Remember Capture the Warthog and Hog Potato?

In Halo:Reach, the ability to edit labels in Forge allowed you to create King of the Hill maps where the Warthog or any other vehicle could be the hill. This tactic was also used to make Hog Potato, an Oddball gametype where the Warthog was the oddball and would explode after some time being used.

Now, imagine this idea used in Halo 4…with the Mantis.

Good idea or bad idea?

I’d like a Regicide variant where the king is automatically placed in a Mantis like how Reach’s Rocket-Racing does.
Now have everyone spawn with Railguns and perhaps even PP’s and scatter some Wraiths and Scorpions around the map for the jesters.
Place lots of heavyweapons around the map too for the infantry flavour.

That…sounds awesome, but doesn’t seem quite possible.

If Race is still in the game, it might be possible to put everyone in a Mantis, put the checkpoint in an unreachable area and enable kill-scoring instead.
