I'm not going to be able to get an Xbox One for another month or so, but I want to start planning for a new map ahead of time. I have wanted to do a Matrix themed map with two different worlds that players move back and forth between for a long time now, however, previous budget limitations have always kept me from completing it properly. Halo Master Chief looks like it may finally have the power to create the dual worlds that I need. I also really like what I will be able to do with the switches and the EMPs. One issue is that I have seen no mention of the Mantis anywhere, and I am guessing that it didn't make it back. I'm happy to use ghosts and banshees for sentinels, but obviously I would like tho have the Mantis available for the defense of Zion.
Mantis isn't in H2A. it was first in Halo 4, and that's the only forge sandbox you will find it in, in the MCC. Let's see if I can remember it all off memory, but the vehicles available in H2A forge are -Mongoose -Gungoose -Banshee -Heritic Banshee -Warthog -Gaushog -Civilian Warthog -Wraith -Scorpion -Hornet -Ghost I think that's all of them, if I missed one, someone let me know and i'll add it.
