So guys I figured i’d make a thread of things that might need tweaking for vehicals. Personally i think the phaeton and mantis might need a slight buff. The mantis seems to be extremly vulnerable with its chaingun lacking in power or just overheating to quickly. The phaeton is understandably weak due to it being a flying vehical but idk. For the req it takes to get the vehical doesnt seem all that great.
Now, who else thinks that the splatter damage against teamates might need to be tweaked a bit? Its really sensitive.
as for nerfing… im not actually sure but im sure some people might have an opinion.
Maybe give a little bit more protection to a warthog gunner? And slightly reduce the splatter damage? I’ve been splatter many times by a ghost in an armory just moving left/right not a full speed…
totally forgot about the warthog gunner. Ya… they die really easily, especially on noctos
The only issues I see with vehicles and my company members always point these out is that vehicle physics are a little wonky, and their hit boxes for splatters dont always work right. We love to take in warthogs and mongeese and even the ghost but all of the land vehicles have atrocious gravity where if you hit one little bump it can send you spiraling out of control and make it impossible to do anything. As for hit boxes, the first problem is the tanks. How can you be splattered by a tank for just touching it when it is the slowest vehicle in the game. Hell in past Halos it was nearly impossible to be splattered by a tank unless it fell on top of you. Then we have issues like the ghost where my friends and I will jump over the top of it and still get splattered.
I think the gunner needs a window shield cause its so annoying getting ripped apart by a DMR/headshotted as you are staring/firing right at them! I mean from the side and even head on its not that hard to pick a gunner off already, it shouldn’t be easy running straight at it! Maybe even side protection as well. Having it 100% exposed from the back makes sense but if you are attacking from the front even if you get the drop they should be able to pepper your body with the MG before dieing.
