Evolutions is a "Halo Wars" style mod for Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars that features epic ground and air warfare on a massive scale. Evolutions brings many instruments of war from the Halo universe to life, allowing the player to fight as the Covenant or the UNSC in epic battles based on iconic Halo locales.
The Mantis is a powered exoskeleton armor defense system similar to the Cyclops. However, where as the Cyclops was designed only for labor and modified to function in combat, the Mantis was created specifically for combat purposes as an evolution of an earlier model. To that end it is equipped with several weapon and defense systems: including armor plating, energy shielding, and two weapon pods on either side of the cockpit.
What does the weapon in it's left arm fire?
Machine gun on the left, rocket pods on the right.
Are you sure?? It looks like the rocket tubes are on the left, and the minigun on the right......
Really big bullets, extremely small rockets
Depends on which model you talk about . I'm talking about the one facing our direction.
MrTaxiKiller, everyone else is talking about the left and right relative to the model...
keep it simple guys, I'm doing whole day Photoshop, PHP, CSS, SQL, Jquery :P
got to say I prefer the Cyclops over this but still great work!
Cyclops will be a unit you can use.
Awesome! Can't wait to see the Cyclops textured then!
I wonder how the Covenant even able to take on these monsters, they should turn tail and run like kitties! XD
well, they do have scarabs, which are alot bigger...
Master Chief will turn them into scraps like Halo 2 and 3, so there is nothing to be afraid of, Covenent will be screwed! XD
the masterchief sucks he is just a sparten who got lucky
mastur cheef doesnt afread of aneething
Have none of you played Halo 4? The Mantis is in it, and in the campaign at least, they are seriously amazing. I may still prefer a Scorpion tank over one, but they are a very close second. Excellent job on the model and texture, this mod just keeps getting better.
yay :D
The texture looks squished and stretched in some areas, mainly on the legs and where the UNSC logo is. Might want to check your UV map.
Yep I see it now, those are uv parts that I didnt map
Why the **** do they call that giant robot a Mantis?
His name is FRECKLES !!
Wow man great!!
I love the Mantis. Probably one of the reasons I played Halo 4 after I was bored with the game. This should definitely be buildable. I'd rather see it as a good anti-infantry/anti-tank instead of the other tank variants. The Scorpion is my go-to tank, and the Mantis my go-to middle ground between the tank and the Warthog.
I never felt like mechs suited the Halo universe, to be honest... they are so impractical and useless in reality, and the cool thing about the UNSC was that they're all about realistic tech that an army could actually be using in the near future.
