I don't make a habit of helping revive dead threads, but I'll excuse my attitude for this one.


 * All in all, the Mako and Hammerhead and a laundry list of strengths and flaws:
 * The Mako I loved for it's mere ability that I could just go charging in on any battle guns-a-blazing and wipe out anything in it's way, it's built like a raging bull and can take a huge beating. That cannon of it is just plain awesomeness mounted in one package, and I have to admire that 10,000 lb. hunk of metal for being able to climb some very steep hills. But what I hated about it, was that it's slow as hell and took about 5 minutes to get from one end of the map to the other, the lateral movement on that thing is laughable at best, and driving it was a pain in the ass. In other words, it's a better battle tank than an exploration vehicle.
 * The Hammerhead was awesome in the fact it was lightning fast and has a thousand times more lateral movement than the Mako and is in my opinion much easier to handle. The fact I can get from one end of the map to the other in maybe 30 seconds is awesome. However, the lack of a health bar is quite annoying seeing as it really only takes about 5 hits before blowing up and the speed and maneuverability is completely useless when everything that it goes up against has apparent spot on accuracy leading battle to be nothing more that a long hit-and-gun guerilla style of combat. The armor plating is a complete joke and the weaponry system is so weak that the expression laughable is a complete understatement. All in all, a better exploration vehicle that a combat vehicle.


 * Really though, I like both of them. I just admire one part of them and despise another part.
