Elite_Buddy. A failure.
Badmouthing the greatest halo vehicle of all time.
I hope we never see it on Pimp my Ride.
You want slayer vehicles, you use a 'Goose with a talented rear gunner, its not made for one man.

I agree that it's annoying when there are mongooses (or is it mongeese?) instead of ghosts, but how dare you say the mongoose needs improvement?!

It is the runaway, quicktransport and FUN vehicle!!!!!!

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.


You do realize that mines glow orange and make a beeping sound. They are incredibely easy to avoid and would not drastically change gameplay in any way.

I think this adds a little something to the Mongoose just as the OP is suggesting. It doesn't make them an offensive vehicle or super useful still, but it does give them something.

This account was destroyed by data corruption. My other account is Ylthorin.

If you want to have fun when playing games, relaxing and other stuff like that, feel free to drop by and join The Gaming Knights.

My only real complaint is that it, and the Warthog, handle like a fat man on a unicycle.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Not alot of people use Plasma Rifles, or Magnums, or Turrets, or any of that. Do you want them changed? (I want the Plasma Rifle changed, the Turret and Magnum are fine by me)

The point of the mongoose is not to be STRONG. The point is to get you around, thats IT. It is faster and less noticeable than any other vehicle in the game. The thing is, nobody WANTS to play the transport guy, EVER. They are all selfish, they all want kills, and not assists.

Dude I don't care and my grammer is perfect.I used "Big", as you recall it to mak is specific."to not do...",is incorrect beause "do" is present tense/perfect(or future) when it was a past tense.

I think another version should be made.

Call it The Ram

Take a Mongoose, weld think pieces of metal in curved shapes to the front, and give it a nitrous tank. Ram em!

Well, what you described is pretty much the niche of the Mongoose. It's a transport vehicle, used to get you, you and a buddy, or an objective from point A to point B in as little time as possible.

And it is very widely used, especially in objective games.

You sir, are my hero.

The current mongoose is a transportation vehicle, not really an assault vehicle, and its also fun to smash with gravity hammers.

  • 09.04.2009 3:46 PM PDT

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 but faster than a Warthog. 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?[/quote]

I'm sorry, but you contradicted yourself in that paragraph. I know most people don't seem to get this, but the Warthog is the fastest vehical in the game. An assult mongoose couldnt be faster than a 'hog and slower than a transport mongoose at the same time.

But I kind of like having an assult rifle or two strapped to the side.

  • 09.04.2009 4:10 PM PDT

I think they only use the mongoose because there aren't enough buttons for a sprint.

The only thing I don't like about the Warthog is the shotgun seat. You can barely help the driver and turret man cause you can only shoot 180 degrees or so.

And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller

The mongoose isn't really meant for combat. If it really needs a buff, I guess they could give the driver the ability to shoot people with a pistol or smg if he has one on him, but reduce his ability to steer when his gun is out

"Everything works itself out. The only thing that matters is whether you want it to or not."

Last Refuge - Operation Phoenix is in effect. From the ashes, we will rise.

I love using the Mongoose, it's like a challenge, but I do think that it should be powered up a bit. I'm thinking a faster top speed and better maneuverability.

  • 09.04.2009 8:26 PM PDT

it needs a smg mounted on the front so when your trying to splatter some one you can lower there sheilds
