No, what we need is a mantis race playlist!
Can't unsee now.
Kind of like Aliens, where all the Marines were still using guns, ATVs, things that looked like Pelicans, bullets, shotguns, nukes, railguns, missiles, and...mechs.
I really like Griesemer's articles, and I'm extremely interested to see how those theories are put to the test in Halo 4.
You're making the assumption that the majority of players are smart enough to actually equip PPs in their loadouts.
I will probably ALWAYS have the PP in my BTB loadout, unless there is some instance where vehicles don't come into play (which would seem weird). If everyone on my team thinks the same way, it will seemingly stall vehicle combat to near inefficiency. Can't say that I'm enthusiastic about any more game-halting tactics, but there must be a variable that I'm not fully understanding or considering.
PP was part of a standard loadout with the Carbine in the build I played at RTX.You're making the assumption that the majority of players are smart enough to actually equip PPs in their loadouts.
"Hug it out, bro!"
I thought it was okay so long as they were very rare. On Valhalla, each base had one, and I think that was it. I think, given that it EMPs vehicles, it should be treated like a power weapon (and anything that can kill vehicles should be).
Yeah, I'll be doing the same, because I like to kill vehicles. I'd rather be dealing frustration than receiving it. But I'm not sure I'll last long if it's as bad as I fear.
I think enough folks will figure it out, espeically if their team is getting wreaked by vehicles. If even 2-3 folks on a team know to spawn with PP's and use them, vehicle combat will take a major hit.You're making the assumption that the majority of players are smart enough to actually equip PPs in their loadouts.
A Incineration Cannon or Binary Rifle is dropping near your Rocket Launcher position. To add a detail: I haven't seen anyone from Blue base using the Railgun. I think instead of a Railgun they have a rocket launcher. But I am not sure. I only played Red side.Updated as per above game-play. Only thing I'm not sure about now is the location of the sticky detonators, the positions noted are only approximations.
I'm really happy that the same weapons appear to always spawn in the same place.
That's because those things were doled out in moderation. On Valhalla, you got a power drain, a plasma pistol and a missile pod in the base, and none of those were instant win buttons - you had to deploy them correctly. Vehicles were reasonably beefy, as well.

Did you get a chance to use the PP when you played? I remember it having a pretty big reduction in overshot tracking, but alas I didn't get to interact with any vehicles.
Took the liberty of some edits to notify folks of BTB flaws if they do not equip a Plasma Pistol in their load outs.
Should have just named them "Rage Quit Zones".
