Hello fellows, I am here to inform you of what i see as the gamekilling problem in Reach, that hopfully will be fixed for future Halo games. This fix will make Halo so enjoyable that the population of every single other multiplayer game in the world will essentially be zero. A bold claim you may say, and wise of you to be a skeptic. Clearly your skepticism betrays to me your intelligence, after all you are playing the greatest game since Halo 3:ODST are you not?

My proposal relates to the most controversial of all things in Reach, more so than, Bloom, Armor lock, and lax map variety combine. Obviously I am talking about the Mangoose, the most overpowered vehicle in the game.

What is wrong with it? Look at it! It is a tiny target, it is too heavily armored, it is faster than every vehicle in the game, it can splatter people, and it can transport two people!

Let us look at these problems one a time though for you naysayers out there.

1.) The size; the vehicle is too damn small for all of its power. I could not hit it with a rocket launcher at a distance of 3.789 meters away, waaaaaaaay overpowered.

2.) Armor; the head piece of the Mangoose can deflect oncoming BR fire, leaving absolutely no way to hit it head on, and as we saw earlier a rocket cannot kill it. A head on attack is futile against this fearsome death dealer

3.) Speed; this mean -blam!- goes faster than every vehicle in the game, except when the A.I. in campaign uses the boost on the Ghost. (btw it would be cool if we could boost our Ghosts, Wraths, and Banshes in multiplayer like the AI can in Singleplayer.)

4.) Splatter; This thing is supposed to be purely transport but whenever I grab the sniper rifle on Hemorrhage and go to my secret sniper spot a mangoose hits me, that is bull-blam!-!


5.) Multi transit; this thing can transport two people, and as if that is not overpowering the guy on the back can shoot his gun! Ridiculous I know.

So please Reach community I beg of you, stop the madness, stop the Mangoose. This moped of destruction is a menace to all of us. The sooner this thing is nerfed the sooner we can dethrone Call of Duty 7 and Call of Duty 8 from their spot on top of the XBL charts.
I thank you for your time.

TL;DR Nerf the Mangoose

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

We can boost ghosts, wraiths and banshees lol

And mongooses are fine, they can be flipped by a DMR anyway I think

Be sure to tell everyone how cool you are. If you don't tell them, they won't know.

I agree, too many a game have been thwarted by the use of those crafty mangeese.

Its respawn is unfair
