Vehicle Idea: Grasshopper

To replace the Mantis, far less armour can jump, side strafe thrust, and jog. It has rockets? and chainguns? Pilot can be sniped out while using it.
I believe this would be a great way to include a walker type vehicle, without the boring linear gameplay the Mantis brings to the table.

Note the ? as I’m not sure what would balance best.

That’s not a walker, that’s a hardsuit.

I know, but its still awesome :wink:
I want this to replace the mantis.

I love the idea of actually having both of those vehicles in the game, especially the heavy suit add on would be great in campaign. However neither of these are the grasshopper, imagine a thing that’s sort of a hybrid between the avatar walkers, the utility man controlled lifting suits from alien and the Titan from Titan fall that is very flimsy. But it needs to be bigger than just a suit and needs to have that Halo feel.

keep the mantis, but add complete visibility to the driver, give it a cool down time for all weapons. sorted.

the weapons from the mantis have all a cool down.
the cool down for rockets is only working if there most reload the rockets to use it again.
the machine gun from the mantis has the same cool down that the warthog has.
if you use it to long you overheat it and you most wait what sec’s to use it again.

the key is the same like the banshee,scorpion tank,and other Vehicles is if you know how to use it good by not let it be destroy fast is to master it good thats a skill the players most learn by using it plenty off time’s and learn how it works.
thats the key most players forgot.
if you master a Vehicle good then is that type Vehicle strong in a match.
if you not master it good yea then you have a big chance that its get destroy fast.

new Vehicle’s are for me all time welcome in halo
