I'm JP, and I am a nine month veteran of the Dropshock Brigade. My interests are not only in gaming but sports and hobbies such as football, hockey, airsoft, and baseball. I started playing Halo when I was four years old, and I hoping that Halo 4 will become a great game and successor to the previous halos.

Driving the Mongoose has Advantages and Disadvantages, but it is a lot of fun driving one around because it distracts the enemy and who wouldn't want to drive a mongoose?
It's Advantages is what I stated above, for some reason it is very fun to drive. Also, it distracts the enemy sometimes so much it drives them crazy, if you knew how much hatemail I got from others with the mongoose believe me it starts to get funny. Another Reason it is helpful to you and your team is because it is a good vehicle to drive the grab a bomb or return or take the opponents flag. Finally, you can get some pretty sweet kills with it (Splatter)
It's Disadvantages however is that if somebody is holding a flag and your driving you have nobody to cover you with the exception of getting an escort by a Warthog or a Ghost or even another Mongoose. Also, even if somebody is still shooting on the back it doesn't give you enough firepower to take down a Warthog or an incoming Ghost or Tank again with the exception of an Rocket Launcher, Fuel Rod, Spartan Laser etc. Finally, the Mongoose in my opinion is not a good vehicle to lead a raid on an Enemy Base or wherever they are, but it is still the best and most reliable vehicle to use for objective game types like Capture the Flag and Assault.
So, if you compare it's Pros and Cons, the Mongoose is not a good strike vehicle nor does it have any protection other than the passenger but it is still is a preferred vehicle for getting behind enemy lines and scoring that game winning Flag capture or bomb detonation and it is a fun and awesome vehicle.
I believe in the pros you forgot how small it is and how fast it goes.
its small size makes it harder for enemys to hit you with thier weapons and its fast speed just doubles the difficulty.
I'm pretty sure it goes the same speed as a Warthog, then again I may be wrong.
