: Vehicles: apart from artistic and audio choices for the vehicles usable in
: multiplayer only two present real issues from a gameplay perspectives the
: Gauss hog and the Mantis. The gauss hog mainly due to the ease of usage
: and destructive power which even after post patch is still rather
: unbalanced form a gameplay stand point. The mantis also suffers from this
: general broken nature as well this is quite noticble in a majority of BTB
: games specifically the classic style game type with no AA's, its shield
: means that it is capable of surviving multiple power weapons shots most
: likley killing the attacker first although this is the case for several
: other vehicle's such as the wraith and the scorpion the mantis
: realistically doesn't owing to the ability to use both armaments at the
: operator's digression which is dramatically different to most other
: vehicles (the hornet could be argued with this case as well but it was
: relatively easy to destroy)

I really truly don't understand why nobody used the Halo 1 way. Indestructible vehicles, but you take damage when the vehicle is hit. So, if someone is being annoying in the warthog you can keep shooting them with the pistol from across the map. Similarly, you could slow the turning of tanks with plasma weapons.

It was pretty much perfect.
