Would bringing the mantis be a bad idea?

I wouldn’t mind as long as it’s only on specific maps paired with specific game modes. The Mantis was a fun vehicle to use, it coming back in some new form would be welcome.

Yes

I like that idea! maybe give the mantis like a jump ability to get around the big maps what are your thoughts about that?

I agree. I wouldn’t mind it back if done correctly.

That would give the player too much power over map geometry, imo. If it were up to me I’d place the Mantis smack dab in the middle of the map where both teams have to fight over it. Whoever gets it first can get some advantage over the other team. I’d also remove the shields and replace it with thicker armor protection, this can act as a good balancer since the Mantis is already a great anti-everything vehicle.

Definitely. Tbh I’d much rather have vehicles like the Saber or the Broadsword be available for BTB. But maybe that’s just the inner Ace Combat fan speaking.

Not a bad Idea at all, I say the more options for the sandbox the better. I don’t think it should be available all the time of course, it would have to be a power vehicle like the scorpion.

I don’t think bringing the mantis back is a bad idea per say but I do think it’s just a bit of a boring vehicle. It certainly looked cool in Halo 4 and was fresh but it’s just grown old since then.

I’m not a fan of it being super slow and not even that powerful of a vehicle.

Considering 343i have said they want to try bring in old armour, weapons & vehicles into the game over time that’s fine that it comes back. I just hope it has its place in the sandbox.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it did return via update. I think Halo Infinite will do something similar to Halo 5 where it will probably keep updating the game with as much content as they can from older games.

I’m fine with it but I really just want to see newer vehicles being added to the game.

I’m confused. Why would the Mantis not be coming back? It’s the signature vehicle of the 343 games.

Bring it back, I’ll just grapplejack it while eating applejacks.

I’d rather have the Hornet back.
The Mantis was just a -Yoink- downgrade of a Hornet that couldn’t fly.

I don’t mind as long as it isn’t a map breaking monstrosity. Looking at you 5 on certain maps.

I would rather have the revenant, and hornet back :slight_smile:

It has to be in the game. If only so I can see what hitting it in the legs with the hammer and the sword does in the new vehicle damage system.

I’m fine if it’s in campaign and brought back in limited capacity in mp as someone else stated

The mantis would be super fun to play against in the campaign and in the multiplayer as long as one specific team doesn’t have control over it because that would obviously be unfair

I need the disrespect of stomping then teabagging enemy players with a mech suit

Why would it be a bad idea? It is one of the most fun and cool vehicles of the entire saga. Bring it on!
