but- its fun!
the tank is so satisfying, that big gun makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
how could it not be cool to drive a tank?!
and its not just plain week because they're easy to counter, even so, they can do immense damage- at any range.

I love the tank! The way you can fight with it is great. Run em over, Blow em to hell, or just riddle em with bullets. I shoot them with the cannon and then kill the stragelers with the machine gun. If you have good aim you can take out Ghosts, Wraiths, and Shades form a conceled location. Not on legendary though.

the mg on it is more innacurate than the warthogs LAAG (machine gun) if you miss the first shot or the gunner survives the first shot and hes a good gunner the guy in the tank is dead

The tank is fun to use espeically if you just go sit on top of a hill with a player calling in support. I like to sit on the big hill behind the red base (not sure) and then turn the tank to defend from sniper fire. I then have my freind use a plasma gernade to call in fire support. I just annilate the entire area with fire.

It is nothing like taking a real tank out though.... It just seams boring after you have done that. My dad was XO of 2nd Tanks during IF1 and we always go out to the range and the driving feild to mess around with it.

From my experience I have learned that the tank is mostly prefferred by noobs. Nobody get offended, I'm just stating that it may work for some people, but I very rarely lose when on foot against a tank. It's way too slow and big for my liking.

Ir yoou can take out some one in a tank they must really suck. Not to brag, but I can kill almost anyone in a tank anywhere in the level. If you've got a plasma weapon then you can stop them from turning around if you shoot fast enough. Unless you do that or get an immediate head-shot, the tnk rules.

And I'm definatly not a nOOb.--4yrs.

I use the tank for base work. not my own however. Just stay there and fire your main cannon when people are on top. They can't make it down without taking some damage keeping them from getting to your team and stopping them from grabbin the flag. Tanks are great if you can use them. And if you put two people with Sniper rifles on the sides, well.... ownage.

the take is a cheap piece of crap, if you have to resort to the tank to get kills in leg or multi, then you really suck at halo, the only thing i enjoy about the tank is how when people are dumb enough not to pay attention, i put a fin-stabilized molten slag through their head through the grate covering the drivers noggin.

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.

i dont know why you all think its to big of a target on legandary...you all must charge in all think you can wipe everything out. i stay way back and start blowing everything up and then hide for my shield to recharge (its like a big,giant,plasma pistol). and on MP i NEVER use it. to big of a target for snipers and ghost can tear you to pieces if used right.
