I find it frustrating that the wraith is unable to kill enemies that board the wraith from the front. When in a confined area, I understand I take the risk of being boarded, however, in previous halos I would have a chance to counter them boarding by position the wraith directly in front of a wall and firing a blast that would kill the enemy at the cost of damaging my wraith. This seems like a fair trade off IMO. I’ve attempted this many times in game but to no avail. Is it supposed to be like this? Do you guys agree we should be able to use that technique to counter someone boarding?
Boarding shouldn’t be a thing at all.

Yeah totally agree its so broken…
/s
You should be able to shoot yourself to get someone off it is a fair trade off you nearly kill yourself to save yourself.
Boarding the mantis needs to be redone, why are they able to be boarded from the front? The animation doesn’t even make sense, they just teleport behind you.
The stomp should be buffed to Halo 4 standards too.
It’s an oversight that hasn’t been taken care of. We just need to make a little bit of noise respectfully and tell them we want a change.

Boarding from front should be taken out, but stomp shouldn’t be buffed to Halo standards it was OP then but it should be buffed.
I definitely agree. I’ve tried this so many times and it never works like it should.
I do miss the wall shot trick on tanks, it was useful and a good trade off, you keep your tank but now it’s fairly damaged, if I remember right you could only do it once or twice before your tank was too far gone and you just kinda did it as a kamikaze type thing

Its absolutely useless now, the only time stomping is good is against another mantis, it doesn’t effect enemy spartans. But yes buff.
I mean isn’t that the point of a vehicle like that? The guns and rockets kinda suck and both have a cool down, its the mantis only defense against people up close. Its like saying the wraith splatter should be nerfed

Yeah I totally agree with you. The melee stomp takes way to long to trigger and when you finally do stomp the ground, the enemy are already on your back and planting a grenade.
On a side note, Do people sing the words wrong? 
Wall shots still work last time i tried it unless it recently changed. Have saved myself numerous times that way. If your talking about being able to shoot someone who has boarded then no i dont think it should be possible. But i do agree the mantis stomp needs a fix. I just retreat and kill them with gunfire while backing up works pretty well… Just wish they could take more hits.
I hated that you were able to kill people that boarded you. Boarding is there to counter the power that vehicles have, and it needs to be a counter. Taking a vehicle into a confined space is a risky move that is easily punished, and should be punished.
I have that problem with the wraith and scorpion. I think 343 took that out. I honestly think it’s stupid that they did. It’s so frustrating whenever I get boarded and can’t do anything but wait to die. It makes me feel so helpless, I’m not supposed to feel like that when I’m in a -Yoink- ing tank. 343 take notes
It’s not even OP. Somone could emp my tank and stop me from moving or firing. And if I kill who ever boards me multiple times I’ll eventually inflict too much damage on my tank and blow my self up. Plus there’s weapons like the rocket launcher and Spartan laser that can destroy tanks. And both the wraith and Scorpion have weak points
I think vehicles except for the mantis are fine. If you let someone board your wraith/tank you deserve to get pummeled. The mantis is terrible.

It is better then what it is now. I feel special if I am able to do a stomp. And the front should not be boarded

It was always in halo. It makes some of the really powerful vehicles have a weakness. And if you get boarded in some of the vehicles, you somewhat deserve it

Yeah I tried to help a guy out by trying to kill a boarder on a wraith with a banshee, and he’s invincible while doing it
yea theyre invulnerable to you when they board. which is dumb
