Yeahno the Mantis is pretty OP right now lol. Its a month old build though. I think if they decrease the damage of the rockets it would be fine.

I don't know how I feel about regular weapons not affecting vehicles like they did in Reach.........

I honestly don't like the mantis being anywhere in Halo 4...

Well . . . think about it guys, NO ONE in that video was any good really . . . but take this into perspective:

The Mantis does have powerful guns, REALLY powerful guns, but how many counters are there against it? First, players can spawn with two EMP devices, the Plasma Pistol, and the Pulse Grenade, second the vehicle (while not super slow) isn't so fast that a good player can't sprint up to it.

So right there, if I see someone in a Mantis I have a few options:

- Select a loadout with a Plasma Pistol and EMP grenades, Mobility (for unlimited sprinting to catch up faster) and Thruster Pack (for additional catching up faster).

- Look for power weapons straight off spawn to take it down, if I have a lucky ordinance, rockets ftw!

- Take cover, wait for the other team to get impatient.

- Scream my head off, charge the abomination, and get stomped . . . literally . . . followed by a T-Bag . . .

Let's be real guys, vehicles are going to HAVE to be powerful in this game. With players having the option to spawn with EMP'ing equipment and possibly ordinance heavy weapons, the vehicles are going to have to be able to hold their own or no one will use them . . . it will be like the Humvee's from BFBC2 or the Ghost/ Mongoose in Reach (anyone who gets in those is asking to die . . . seriously).

I'm glad normal weapons don't affect vehicles. Its was stupid that AR/DMR would slow the Hog down. Only weapons that should affect vehicles are explosive and snipers really. And EMP's.

Slow the Mantis down a bit.
