Subject: Assault Mongoose.

OK! Instead of 'improving the mongoose' why not have two. Transport and Assault, Transport is the current mongoose. Assault is slightly (but noticeably) slower than a Transport. It would have a mounted AR with a higher rated of fire and unlimited ammo. But you would still have to reload it every 60 shots. Would that work?


Edit:I edited the 3rd paragraph because people opened me to the 'speed' light (AKA, Warthog is faster.) Please stop flaming (for the small amount who were.) NO MORE POSTING "THIS THREAD IS A FAIL!" It may be, but it doesn't need to be posted to many times. This is my opinion, it doesn't have to be yours. We all like Halo, that's what we discuss. We should discuss that, and not discuss out personal fee;ings about each other. (Unless they started it! :) ) Also remember that this thread is no longer discussing "Improving the mongoose". We are now discussing a new type of Mongoose.


Also, if anyone can come up with a better idea for the Assault mongoose please post here.

Subject: Mongoose. A failure.

Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical position that argues that existence is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.

Put simply in the words of Nietzsche as "the will to nothingness".

Warthog, heard of it?

All our dreams come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.

Yes but what's the point of the mongoose. It needs to be used.


It has a use as a transport carrier, which excels in Objective gametypes.
The mongoose is a great tool if you know how to use it.

its for the noobs who would, without the mongoose, would grab the warthog just to go to a weapon and leave the hog for the enemies.

And also just for a fun way to get around. I think its great. Originally it was going to have two small machineguns in the front for the driver to control but they decided to make it a transport.

Kinda like with the Hornet. It was originally going to have the design that the Hawk from Halo Wars has, but they decided to make it a transport, and it turned out just fine. Either way it still PWNs the banshee.

Mongoose. A failure.
no me and my friend use the mongoose all the time and always(nearly) get a lot of scores on C.T.F, territories, and assault and we do get a a lot of kills in Squad Battle Big Team.

so no the mongoose is not a failure and it probably won't be in reach in my opinion unless people use it more in ODST and stop Flaming the 'Goose (what i call it) so yeah i prefer the 'Goose.

Read about my gaming here.

I don't know what gametypes you play, but most of the times I've played Team Objective matches, the mongoose is in frequent use. From the start of my Halo 3 career, which was when it came out in Europe, although I haven't played in a while, mainly because I had to send it on service. But still, the mongoose is an excelent tool in Objective games where fast tranportation is needed, and it is used.

this is true

We should be able to use it like a melee weapon like in the Cole Protocol

  • 09.04.2009 3:36 AM PDT

mongoose is used for objective carrying and its always fun to use.

  • 09.04.2009 3:47 AM PDT

You're like, the bee's knees: you have helped me out a LOT in the past and you're a genuinely nice guy, and you deserve all the best for the good you've done me and surely done others
Count Peter, you're one of the only people I respect on here. Not that that means much on a forum, but still.

That would kinda suck.

Waaaay to powerful, such a fast and small vehcile with a turret?!?!?

It would only be cool if "forge glue" was added to the game so it could be used in customs only

No not really. Using it SWAT can be huge fun. Wheelmans on a Goose in SWAT = WIN!

1.I know.
2.Agreed.
3.Agreed
4.Agreed
5.Agreed a bit. Often (due to lag) it only lowers shields.
6.Agreed
7.Stop talking about getting to things!
8.I don't mean a warthog turret. Something weaker. Mounted AR with a higher rate of fire?
9.No, I just choose not to use it. Objective games I use it.
10.Not really.

In team rockets in vanhalla it's a very good weapon i am bad at driving so my friend was driving while i shot but since you only get 2 rockets you need to be a good shot and know when to shoot

for improvement i would make it easier for who's on the back to shoot

That would be good. Maybe more auto aim on the back. The same auto aim drag as a ghost?

The mongoose doesn't need a turret. The person riding on your back is the turret. A good monriding pair can be deadly, especially if you incorporate brute shot jumps and mid air no scopes into your arsenal of tricks.

Just watch Lord Mongoose's first Goosetage, you'll know what I mean.

Reach MMO. Here's to hoping.

And the people that believe "the hardcore playlists would be more popular if the rules were strictly MLG" can come off it, now. If you're not willing to support something close to your own setup, there's no reason for us to believe that cloning our own lists and stripping the variety down will attract more people. -- Shishka, Bungie.net

I wish it would drop mines.


Wouldn't that be sweet?

You would be getting chased by a warthog, you dodge around a corner and drop a mine and trash the warthog as it follows. I think Mongoose should carry 3 mines.

But then people just use it to completely mine their base and throw it aside and wait for another to spawn.

Mines are a bad idea, but it would be wonderful if you could use equipment from the back of the mongoose. It would help support the lightning quick driveby harassment style of attacking with the mongoose.

Do you really care? you can't automatically see my signature anyway.

I think what he's trying to suggest is something like the old FAR CRY ATV.

Mongooses are epic as they are.
Live with it.
I have led many a charges on one, I fail mostly but they are for getting close, fast.
They aren't serious combat vehicles, unless you have a heavy weapon/power weapon on the back they are simply for rapid deployment and hit 'n run.
If that is changed the world will end.

Ninjabag the tea-pirates!

I don't want to join your group.

The Mongoose has a use in objective gametypes, apart from that i never really use one.
