Destroy the Mantis’ chain gun turret and rocket pod. Kind of like how you can “decapitate” a Scorpion and Wraith…I think that’d be cool. What do you think?
Considering how rare it is to blow a Scorpion’s main Gun, it’d be a cool idea
however, a disarmed mantis has no effective means of defending itself
sure, it can stomp, but a Scorpion “without out its tail” still has it’s machinegun to defend itself, and a Stomp-only mantis can’t last too long
Granted, you wouldn’t want to stay in one for too long when that happens anyway, it’s still not balanced enough
Ahahaha… in an odd way I would find it amusing to be limited to the stomp attack for a while. It’s always tremendously satisfying to put my foot down on that ghost that gets too close or that infantryman who thinks he’s going to board me but then goes flying.
But I imagine the novelty would quickly wear off and then it would become only a source of frustration.
Reskin it and put it into Flood mode as a Juggernaut. That would sufficiently make up for the Custom games problems.
I don’t mean both arms fly off, just one of them. Like the chain gun getting blasted off by a spartan laser, or the rocket pod getting blown off by a rocket launcher.
would be cool
Limiting the Manti should it take too much damage. That would be quite awesome and a decent way to counter it. But restrict it to strong Power Weapons (i.e. Rocket Launchers, Snipers, Spartan Lasers…).
