Vehicles should be better

Okay, so now we play as real Spartans, with their special Abilities. They are strong, they are fast, and they have special armors. They are the future soldiers.
But what about the future vehicles?
Now it’s nothing special to take a vehicle. You take a Mantis and you are destroyed by the BR.
You take a Scorpion and it’s sooo slow so you can be easily boarded.
Banshees? Too weak
And sometimes it’s a waste of Req Points to take any vehicle. Only the best versions worth it, like the Ultra Banshee.
For me, vehicles should be much better in Halo

Mantis with Spartan abilities.
Warthogs with better HUD.
Scorpions/Wraiths with ability to shoot off pests.
Ghosts with increased frontal armor.
Phaetons and Banshees should no longer be able to evade into kill zones.
Increased speed on mongooses/gungooses.

That would make all the vehicles fun to use

I think the mantis and scorpion are the only ones in need of a buff but that is just me.

What about the Banshee? It only needs to take some BR shots to get down

A LOT of BR shots haha
Banshee seems fine to me

I just keep moving and seem to usually last long enough to get around 10 kills

I say make the scorpion and wraiths be able to shoot off a person only in the front and make it only doable every say 20-30 seconds so they aren’t basically unboardable period
Ghosts actually already have increased frontal armor since thats really the only armor it has, plus they are low reqs so I say keep them weaker a ghost shouldn’t take a tank shot with ease
Phaeton should have a smaller weak spot, especially since it has a slower speed, and I think banshees should have a small cooldown on evasions like a phaeton has, there was this guy yesterday just throwing banshee bombs and spamming evade it was a huge pain in the -Yoink- since that takes off locked on projectiles and as an evade it is meant to make it hard to hit

A Mantis should be able to jump.
A Scorpion should have a speed boost like the Wraith.
Banshees should be faster.
Gungooses should be cheaper and less rare

If vehicles were going to be that much more powerful, it would be useless to run and gun because you would just get destroyed unless you spawned with a Spartan laser or rockets or something. I agree that vehicles shouldn’t be so easily boarded, but the strength/abilities are fine IMO. I’ve never been much of a fan of vehicle warfare in Halo though. But 1 person getting 20 kills without dying should be rare. (Halo 4- scorpion tank, banshee, gauss warthog. ALL OP!). We definitely don’t want that again. I think it’s refreshing to not get dominated by vehicles the whole time you are trying to get around a map.

Every vehicle’s armor needs a buff and the mantis shouldn’t be board able from any angle. My only true complaints.

I think all the vehicles are fine. Yea, they’re kind of easy to destroy if you aren’t careful with them, but the killing power makes up for it. I personally think that they’re fine.

mantis and phaeton are the worst, super rare reqs for very little payout, the mantis is absolutely garbage. Boarded from any angle impossible to get kills with taken out with a full dmr. It’strash, phaeton just needs a smaller weak spot.

The only buff i feel that they need is the boarding factor. Like the prev games the boarder needs to melee open the cockpit/engine and then plant the grenade. And maybe buff the armors of the mantis.
For a vehicle that costs 6 reqs. Its almost useless since from afar ppl will just shoot at you unless you are spawn killing them at a certain armory but at that point you would be called a farmer and accused and such >.>

Well vehicles are pretty useless to me, I don’t need a vehicle to get a kill, but I only use them to complete commendations or just because I want to, but if I see a vehicle on the field I automatically just pull out a SpLaser & just destroy it because, I’m like(Get out of that vehicle & fight on foot xd). I know some vehicles need some improvement like the Scorpion(so badly). It’s not like 343 will do anything to improve them.

Except when you get hijacked from some guy camping at the vehicle spawn pad… Not sure how careful you can be there. Hell people camp by the doors near the core to hijack large vehicles. Again not sure how you can be careful there.

That’s poor map design, not an issue with the vehicles themselves.

On every … Single … Map … Why bother spawning vehicles if you are gambling if the enemy is camping and waiting for you.

Yes on every map because the chose to use the same buildings on every map. Again, this isn’t a vehicle issue.

I don’t know, don’t do it then. I’ll tell you what I do is have someone on foot around me to cover my back and prevent those issues. Or I back up my teammates when they’re in one of those vulnerable, slow vehicles.
