You're not even missing anything dude. The wraith is basically a giant "highjack me" brick. I don't know what 343 did to the mortar, but it's so damn awkward to aim the arc now. The firing reticule is just dopey and the mortar itself travels about as far as a deflated balloon.

Which means in order to do any really good damage to people or actually land your hits, you need to get in close. Which, frankly, is a death sentence because

A) Vehicles are made of paper, so rather than use them like an engine of destruction you have to treat them like sniper rifles and stay at the back of the map

B) The wraith's mortar recharges slightly faster than a cellphone hooked up to a potato

C) Has wide highjack angles, terriblely slow mobility, and is limited only to front facing targets. Once again, the scorpion is better in every single respect.

Maybe the upgraded wraiths are better. But so far, the default standard is a laughable hunk of shit.

The Mortar has been changed to make it so the bolt arcs up above where your reticle is in attempt to make the bolt land where your reticle is.

Slow mobility? Do you even boost bro?

Anyway, gimme all yo Wraith cards. I last longer in them than I do a Scorpion.

WAT. That doesn't even make any sense at that point. Why bother having a reticule at that point if all it serves is to fuck people over who think it works like the old wraiths?

Slow mobility, yeah. I don't need the fucking wraith to boost forwards. I need the damn thing to fucking turn faster.

If trading req cards was a thing I'd go for it. I'd take ghosts over wraiths since I've killed more enemy vehicles by being a cheeky cunt in the ghost than using that brick of a vehicle.

I've killed more scorpions by ramming a ghost up their ass than using the wraith's potato speed recharge mortar.

Warden Eternal was tougher than I expected. Took me quite a few tries to kill him. Campaign has been pretty good so far.

Nope, just a classic Reachtard.

Nope, it feels even less like Halo than 4.

lmao

It's the most "Halo" game we've gotten since 3.

It's literally how Halo has always been at its base.

at this point people just love to bitch about the various abilities even though they've been properly implemented in a non-loadout based system.

yeah but azu, it isn't halo 3, so it isn't halo

I've been using wraiths alright. But the disadvantage is offset by the fact they don't cost as much to bring out as a tank.

I find it ridiculous that the UNSC still have an inability to give machine guns to their drivers. Or that my spartan doesn't want to leave his vehicle when someone is on the back of the tank.

Yeah, I know what's coming up. I wasn't expecting to get an Xbox One or Halo 5 anywhere near as soon as I did, so I read through some of the threads on the game. I'm just going to assume that there's a way around the fight or that it takes place in an area that allows you to fight them more effectively than in this mission.

There's a handy little trick to skip that fight with a well placed spartan charge. Worls wonders on legendary.

[I find it ridiculous that the UNSC still have an inability to give machine guns to their drivers. Or that my spartan doesn't want to leave his vehicle when someone is on the back of the tank.

Probably because they are gameplay design choices and have no bearing on the canon.

Halo CE and Halo 2 both gave their scorpions machine guns on the mounted canon. They were inaccurate as fuck. But still there as an option.

Better than the free kill headshot seat it is now.

There is a trick you can use though. If you know you're about to get jacked, you know that any double seated vehicle gives you the ability to switch seats? Hit the switch seat button and save yourself.

Although, that comes with risks too. if you're killed while switching or they enter the vehicle instead of jacking it, then you stand the chance of giving them a free vehicle.

So, my rule of thumb is this. If it's a perfectly healthy vehicle, let them jack you because it's better to have it destroyed than be squeaky clean and belonging to their team.

And if your vehicle is in poor health, then switch seats and give it a go. If they take the vehicle at least you'll be able to kill it quickly.

Just make sure you equip everyone with incineration cannons before the room with the wardens.

And their are four more cannons in the room.  Just use those on them.

All REQs for Cartographer's Gift revealed.

Classic BR is in there

I dunno fam, I thought it was most vulnerable to small arms fire in CE because of the non-solid cage. Half the Death Island/Sidewinder matches I played where some noob set the vehicle options to 4 tanks at each base, somebody would get sniped out of a tank like 5 times. The MG felt pretty much inconsequential except in protecting yourself from Banshees.

So is the Mark IV going to be a REQ thing, or just handed out when the CU drops?

REQ
Why would it be anything else?

So how bad is this game? It's probably fucking awful.
