I'm Getting Rid Of The Manta!!!

[HavokChaos]

haha bclagge!

HavokChaos here, or as you remeber that day on dust storm, vehicles are good for pushing idle players off the map!....cept..prolly..should fall with them..hahahah!

Good times!

[bclagge]

In Sinkhole the AVRIL is on the second level of your base, just above the mantas.

[ut3fanboy]

some maps like sinkhole don't seem to have avril but have bunch of mantas.

I can hardly wait till the author of SwapTool comes out with the UT3 version so I can get rid the manta. Noobs just use to run over people. It takes no f...'n skill to run over people!! With SwapTool I can get rid of the manta completely and swap it out for another vehicle lets say a Dark Walker or what ever. Ill do that on my server thats for **** sure as soon at it comes out!!

dude... hold it for a second.

phase 1: manta is overpowered.
phase 2: get ridd of manta.
phase 3: replace it with dark walker.

ehm.. dark walker is the thing thats between the tank & the leviathan... dont think it's balanced to replace manta's with it... this simply doesnt make sense.

manta's take some kind o skill. maby not in start game, but wait till people learn new tricks to defend themselves from it. i'd like to see you explain manta has no skill to some ut2004 top onslaught players.

[UT3sysop]

I love manta hunting even more than I did in UT2.

Guess you wont be joining my server cuz there wont be a manta for you to use to run over people with muhahahahahaha nnyyyaaa

[Gareee]

Without th enew vehicles there's not much difference between UT2004 and UT3, oher then better graphics.. just play CTF, or UT2004

The manta is the least of an infantry's worry.

The patch should be enough to allow you to take it out without an avril.

The stealthbender or whatever it's new name is will be the infantry's real problem.

[Cuddles]

If you cant find a AVRIL, then another good weapon against a manta is another vehicle, preferably scorpion.

[UT3sysop]

I'm getting rid of my Manta too!

The payments are a pain and the personal liability premiums are just through the roof on those fans. I'm thinking about trading it in for a scorpion. The Manta gets better mileage, but the cost of insurance coverage and maintenance is just too high to justify based on Izanagi's contractor compensation package.

DOH!!

Manta reminds me of the Ghost in Halo 3. Running people over with it is really effective. There are ways around being run over, though.

I guess removing the manta entirely is one of them.

[Akira Kurosawa]

I have no problem with dying to vehicles.
No problem with getting slaughtered by dark walkers, leviathans, or tanks.

I do have a problem with being slaughtered by a FAV hovercraft.
If the guy wants to disable it let em..
I'm hoping for a mutator that will allow me to weaken it.

[phwaap!]

Vehicles, including the manta, are the the only things keeping this game relevant. Get an Avril.

[UT3sysop]

Yeah, I agree. Thats why I dont play with vehicles.

Like others are saying, if dieing to vehicles as infantry really bothers you, either dont play as infantry or dont play with vehicles.

I like the vehicles an as far as running my server Ill run it as I see fit. Thats what is nice about using mutators!

Also I'm thinking of making it a Rocket Whores Server.. meaning rockets only server. I had one in Halo and It was awesome and very popular
