Subject: Is the Mongoose going to be tweaked?

I noticed that in Halo 3 to ODST, the mongoose actually got a little worse, because now you can't even melee while on the Mongoose. Already in Halo 3 the mongoose is pretty underpowered, even if your partner has a good weapon.

So I was wondering, will Bungie make the mongoose better?

Halo 3: ODST = $30

What exactly do you want to happen to it?

I make a legitimate thread on the most logical choice for the next Bond actor, and you take that away from me by creating a parody thread indirectly connecting my thread to yours.

I hope your kids have bad influences and develop bad personalities. I wish this with all my heart.

Didn't you play the Beta? The new blue one has tons of extra speed, but can take about as much damage as an ODST brute on Normal.

ODSTs cant multitask.. theyll lose their grip and fall and embarrass themselves in front of dare if they attempt meleeing

No, no one has, cause it doesn't exist yet.

Yeah but it can't really compete with the new Warthog with auto-lock rockets and Dual-Wieldable spartan lasers littered all over the maps.

er.. Less flipping, being able to scope while riding on it, a little more range when you melee while you're on it, easier splatters, better acceleration, drifting, Duel wielding, and carry weapons like missile pods and turrets?

For every action, there is an equal and opposite airstrike.

You forget: ODSTs don't wear half-tonne power armour. As we have a greater-than 99% chance of play as a Spartan II in Halo: Reach, it's fairer to look at Halo 3.

Halo 3 allows Spartan IIs and Elites on the back on the Mongoose to melee, and if they are holding the flag, bomb, or skull, can be used as a make-shift jousting knight upon his stead. They can also wield any man-portable weapon while on the back of the Mongoose and fire at will (exception of the Gravity Hammer's primary pulse and the Sword's primray lunge attack). I do not expect this to change for Halo Reach

They need to speed it up a bit. Also make it slightly easier to kill people with it.

I think it should promote more teamwork, like the person who can jump on it gains some advantages, like being able to scope, or a wider range of melee with stuff (for example you could lean out and sort of make a swing with the rocket launcher).

I don't really think it needs more speed, but the flipping is annoying, and drifting would be fun for racing.
