Subject: Mongoose in ODST?

Come back when you get that bullet out of your head...

It only occurred to me recently that we may not see the usage of the mongoose in ODST. Not a lot of people may care weather the small weaponless vehicle stays or goes, but then this calls to question the reason Bungie introduced it us at all. Besides the great skill it took to actually splatter other players with, the mongoose was used mainly to transport shielded Spartans quickly across the map, however ODST have no shields, and no need to travel at any speed exceeding that of a much more protective warthog. Perhaps Bungie will present the mongoose in a more ODST friendly way this fall, or (as I suspect) it won't be there at all. What do you think, should Bungie include the Mongoose in ODST?

Really?
I can't believe I missed that...
well the question remains. Now that the ODST is a more vunerable character, will you be as inclined to use the mongoose?

PM me any Coup questions you have.

Yes, i wouldn't want to walk around New Mombasa the entire time. I mean is a Free Roam type of game, so you have to get around somehow.

[Insert Catchy Phrase here]

In a firefight photo you see a warthog so I bet there is a mongoose is firefight too. I hope too that there is a mongoose cause walking ould be soooo slow, don't ODST actually walk slower that spartans too?

A valid point, the free-world environment has me excited and will certianly be much larger than a single path level, but I have trouble believing that it'll be empty enough to tear around in a mongoose

I have seen the Mongoose in 2 different trailers. Look them over again.
