This also made me giggle like a little girl:
Alwight?
Life is a journey. Specifically, in my case, it’s a journey between my desk and the vending machine that I will repeat over and over until I’m dead. Despite the slightly depressing undertones of that fact, I can say with the utmost certainty that this journey would be a hell of a lot easier if I had a vehicle to do it with. So, with this in mind, we’ve made sure to cram a bunch of vehicles into Haze. Get ready to learn about them.
Okay, it’s happening now.
MANTEL VEHICLES
The ‘Boxcart’
Fast, maneuverable and all-terrain: a combination that has made the ‘Boxcart’ invaluable to Mantel troops in the difficult jungle landscape. Its lightweight frame is thanks to a notable absence of armor. So, whilst it can transport quickly, in combat it certainly can’t guarantee a safe arrival – hence its fragile namesake. Still, the fixed JM90 HeavyGun turret is a good reason to get out of its way.
The ‘BigBoy’
At a mere 35 Tonnes, the ‘BigBoy’ tank is light in comparison to its ancestors even when fully loaded. This new low-weight version allows for fast-response tactical deployment and a reliably swift track speed. Its primary weapon - an electromagnetic coil cannon - functions like a rail gun, using magnetic forces along the barrel to propel its shells at a dangerously high velocity.
‘Mrs. Mantel’
Earning its alias by carrying soldiers in its ample belly and ‘birthing’ them on the battlefield, this dropship uses a combination of movable rotary engines and miniature kerosene afterburners, making it a true vertical take-off and landing craft. This motion arrangement gives the craft the means to both fly at high-speeds like a jet, but also to manoeuvre like a helicopter when at low speeds – thus, it is the perfect machine for rapid combat insertions.

THE PROMISE HAND VEHICLES
The ‘Macho’ (Stag)
Like most rebel equipment, the ‘Stag’ is cleverly salvaged, constructed and repaired on-the-fly – resulting in a patchwork appearance. Subsequently, it is well modified for the harsh jungle environment.
The ‘Mula’ (Mule)
The ‘Mule’ is nothing if not ideal for jungle warfare – able to go where bulkier Mantel vehicles cannot reach, it is fast and versatile. The driver is virtually guaranteed a bumpy ride (hence its alias), but with the room for an additional passenger to fire in their defence, this vehicle is perfect for two-man smash ‘n’ grab missions.
The ‘Palo Hueco’ (The Hollow Bat)
This helicopter has a small advantage in manoeuvrability over Mantel’s ‘Mama’, thanks to its marginally smaller size and weight. Naturally, its armour is a pale comparison to its Mantel counterpart, but its mounted miniguns ensure it is deadly to ground forces.
The ‘Diente de la Serpiente’ (The Serpent’s Tooth)
This mobile missile launcher carries a rare second-generation nuclear missile, modified for a direct attack on the Mantel ‘Land Carrier’. The launcher itself is over 26 meters long, and is driven by two 1,800hp diesel engines with a maximum speed of just 20mph.
Of course, all these hunks of mobile love will be appearing in the single player, the four player co-op AND the multiplayer maps in some form or other. So enjoy your feet – you’ll be off them and in a Haze vehicle in a matter of weeks. Peace out y’all.
WOW!
