Like absolutely everything in Halo, the Scorpion Tank has its advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is obviously the sheer firepower of the thing. The fact that the shell is much more powerful than a rocket launcher and travels at an amazing velocity. The machine gun maybe inaccurate but its there.
The disadvantage is the sheer size of the tank and the slow speed of which it moves at.
What I like about the tank is this:
* All my gaming friends like it and seem to think that whoever has the tanks is going to win the CTF match.
* My friends use it as an assault vehicle in CTF
* My friends think that the tank is good as 4 friends can perch on the side.
Basically it is a target to me, not a vehicle. My friends grab the tank and charge, soon ofter their staring at their mangled corpse. My friends pile on the tank and all try to attack. Snipe out the driver, bringing the tank to a halt and then rocket the stranded enemies before one takes up the role of driver.
The tank is for show, it looks cool and it makes you s**t yourself if one burns round the corner. It is just like the Hunter, looks hard, but not so tough.
To make a decent attempt at an assault on the enemy base in one of these things you've got to make sure there's no snipers waiting in the wings to take you out or you're pretty much dead.
