It has the word "Halo" in its title. That means an automatic campaign playthrough for me.

I'm duly impressed... it's 66% faster than the Jeep... I know my main transport on the field of battle.

What a pleasant suprise, Bungie! The Mongoose sounds and looks pretty impressive so far.

It looks like a cool vehicle, but I wonder if it's vulnerable to a rocket launcher with lock on. Compared to a Spartan Laser.

Sum the whole read up in short:

Halo 3 has a 4 wheeler.

Awesome update!

And to those of you who are wondering about the plural of "mongoose"....

There is absolutely no reason to pick up a dictionary, the man himself, KPaul, put the actual plural of "mongoose" into the URL (look it up 'tards) of the page....

KPaul, you sly little....person you!

"(look it up 'tards)" is property of KPaul and/or those who control him.

What's with the Bhuddist quote? I just don't get it.

  • 01.10.2007 9:14 PM PDT

"lucky one"

Aparet from all the strategy elements this vehicle offers, I would like to have at least one special map in which all players race with the Mongoose.That would be awesome.

The grass bugs me... It's still flat... :(


That's because that's likely the Halo 2 engine.

Thanks for the feedback from the field.

I try to avoid manufacturer propaganda when I am selecting machinery for the combat motorpool. The straight dope from the boys who do the fightin and dyin in a warzone is the best research, I have found. I will never forget that time we ordered 10 Scorpion Tanks, only to find out all the hype about the rate of acceleration was a lie. It was a nice ride [don't get me wrong], but the pilots would always disembark from the cab at the first sign of a Banshee.

I will take 20 units of Mongoose. Do you accept Gunslinger Bucks? If they can be delivered in Blue from the facotry, it would save us a lot of time and manpower.

..............................

This news item was hilarious. Thanks for the roleplay.

It is nice to see this make it into the game this time around.

if you had the choice, would you rather go for the mongoose, the manconnon, or the banshee, maybe even a warthog at the start?


i would choose a warhog if it's avalible but if not then the mancannon


but what i really want to know, is how good is the passenger sight lol?
i bet it's going to be cruddy like the warthogs's passenger ( can't see much and unless you got a rocket launcher, your just in for the ride and nothing else )

I know it's just a video game, but why put all that time into making realistic backstory and explanation and completely lack suspension or steering. I look at that thing and can't help but think I would have better control of a vehicle after a a few long island iced teas.

Form follows function and that mongoose has no function. you wouldn't make a sniper riffle with a crooked barrel and tell me it shoots straight, or a rocket launcher with no handle... The IFS is cute idea, but it rsembles a toddlers play toy .

Also, I'm sure tires in the future are much better, but the minimal sidewall and rims wider than the tires on an offroad vehicle bugs me, you'd pop a bead in a heart beat

is the plural of mongoose mongeese or mongoosen

  • 01.10.2007 11:06 PM PDT

don't take me too seriously..


<3

These are great. Keep them coming.

It sounds like the Halo 3 maps are huge! A pair of mongoose', warthogs, banshees and wraiths? Sounds great.

Bungie's next project: Sardonicism: Irony Evolved

On a scale of 1 to livid, where will the Arbiter fall when he gets back to Sanghelios and discovers that most of the planet has been battered by the NOVA bomb?

I'm beginning to think that The Flood is a metaphor for the all consuming, self-loathing horror that the forums have become.

Sounds awesome, I can't wait to play with it! Although, the top-most screenshot looks not much better than Halo 2 (apart from the draw distance, the background of which looks very much like Delta Halo).

News flash.. everything that they are posting (including the vidoc) is very old (9 months) I saw a video in which two people break down the new vidoc and discover one of bungies designers apparently lost a lot of weight in a short period of time... rapid weight loss or fairly old material? You be the judge!

I can't wait to drive it but I seriously dout it will be as efferctive as they say. The driver and passenger are very exposed to snipers and small arms fire, plus I'd rather sent two hogs forward than monguses. Still it looks a cool vehicle.
