I honestly found the Hammerhead much more useful when I realized that repeatedly driving over all of my enemies was a valid tactic.

Oh, that was so fun.  Worked for both vehicles, of course, but I think you're right, the HH won that particular grudge match.

Yeah, the Mako could run over things as well, but those enemies stood a good chance of getting out of the way if they were keen enough. With the hammerhead all you need to do is boost and they don't stand a chance.

I usually pelted a group with missiles then ran right into all of them, swerved to knock them all down and just killed them at point blank.

How about neither? If I have to choose one, I am going to choose Hammerhead. The Hammerhead may be made of paper, but at least the controls are mostly fine.

Yeah, I also prefer the Hammerhead as well. The controls for the Hammerhead just work much better.

I'd LOVE to her a dev's take on it. Really just out of curiosity.

Also...the Mako's controls were not perfect...but are you telling me the Hammerhead's are? especially the guided rockets system?

[Good Chaos7]

I want a Hybrid of Both!! So I can drive a Mako then be a hammer head when I run into water or lava!!!

[Shadesofsiknas]

Id love to see levels where you get the option of either vehicle. Would be great for replayability.

Just put the Hammerhead's jets on the Mako's body. Best vehicle ever.

+1

You have the right idea AdmiralCheez

Something like this that combines the best qualities of both vehicles.

[Xewaka]

Mako. Better handling, more fun to drive around, and the terrain feels more natural and less like a pod race track.

[Mr_Steph]

I prefer the guns and armor of the Mako over the weak missiles and...no armor what so ever. I did like the maneuverbility of the Hammerhead though.

[Hillbillyshep]

Hammerhead, but combination of the two would be amazing.

[Quole]

How about neither?

[lv12medic]

How about a MAKO that shoots Hammerheads at the enemy.

Personally I'd like a new vehicle to use though. Maybe a tracked vehicle? (I like my tanks).

[crimzontearz]

to those saying neither

what exactly is wrong with exploration and vehicular combat in general?

[wright1978]

I liked the Mako, it reminded me of Big Trak.

[Shad Croly]

The Hammerhead may be made out of paper-mache, but at least I could drive it around without it threatening to flip at the slightest terrain change.

[Aumata]

Mako is superior to the crappy hammerhead, considering since I done the insanity trophy using the crap that is hammerhead I now turn the difficulty to casual just to breeze past the hammerhead missions. The cost of superior maneuverability is not outweigh by crappy weapons, armor, and a crappy guided weapon system that is more of a liability. Have to put in effort to hit something that I am aiming at. It probably why I don't use the guided missile heavy weapon in the first place.

1: the Mako could hit things at the horizon pretty much instantly......the rockets of the hammerhead simply "explode" on their own after a while

2: the guided  rockets can hit only what you can already see (which could be instantly hit by a mass accelerated slug) AND the guiding system often makes the rockets veer off AWAY from the selected target for no reason

3: if there is no hiding zone the Hammerhead is BONED

1: Yes, they do have a range limit. Which is farther than anything you'll ever need to engage.
2: They're seeking rockets. If they "veer off course" it's because the rockets spotted a closer target. They work exactly like the heavy weapon rocket launcher that way.
3: Which is when you back off out of THEIR range and shoot at them while they cant' shoot at you.

1: BS, the longer stick always prevails, I'd rather have cannon that shoots slugs at relativistic speeds rather than a simple rocket.....talk about downgrading
2: No, please extensively play Firewalker and Overlord, you will see that in many occasions the rocket will veer off and hit a wall not even another target. That said even if they veered to hit a closer target that still makes them ridiculously inefficient because I want my weapon to hit the target I intend to be hit not the target it intends to hit
3: Delightful........AI aggro techniques <_<

It's boring, generally. Combat basically consists of you firing rockets as fast as you can at the enemies, with no real tactics or skill involved. And driving around empty-looking worlds is about as interesting as planet-scanning.

how about comparing combat VS combat as opposed to combat VS exploration

combat on the Mako actually made you feel like you were driving a tank and not a pinatta

[C9316]

I'd prefer the mako they just need to fix the controls for consoles.

[bucyrus5000]

Mako combat was good, but as a transport (exploration) it was tedious. Hammerhead combat was tedious, but it's use as a transport was not as tedious as the Mako.

If we have to have transports, I'd like to have the choice between the Mako, the Hammerhead, and a Tachikoma for land. I'd also like some air vehicles, like a VTaL shuttle/fighter.

[silver_sparrow]

Hammerhead. it had great controls.

[Funkcase]

Mako, it felt like a real vehicle you would use on the surface of another planet, plus you can actually get out of the Mako. The Hammerhead was much smoother to control though.
