Re: Soooo the stuff they added, like the gungoose
By:Revenant1988
Date: 7/5/14 2:17 pm

: This is what I've wanted from the Mongoose before I even had a Mongoose (back
: when I first saw it in the "Art of Building Worlds" book circa
: 2005). It always seemed odd to me that the human equivalent of the Ghost
: didn't have any real offensive capability. Obviously the role of the
: vehicle has changed in multiplayer since then, but this new variant takes
: me back to my original wishes for its inclusion in Halo 3.

The offensive capabiliy was that you could run people the hell over.

Or carry a passenger with a rocket launcher, which is something that the Ghost could not do.

The Ghost is a lone wolf fast attacker, the Goose is a utility knife.

THIS, is the kind of stuff that makes MP games interesting and fun, vehicles and weapons that while in the same "class", have totally different applications.

Adding a gun to the Goose screams at me that it's just another BR=Carbine=Light Rifle equation again- items from different factions that are simple re-skins of the same template with really, really minor differences.

This is not good game design, in my mind.
