Why are you here?

I don't know about that way, but I used the banshee method.

I have used it.
It's really fun to find and use, but it's time-wasting.

There's also a gun on Outskirts.

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

the craziness about the gun made me get it, using the banshee method (very easy to do, I don't know why players find this difficult.) It is actually an Achievement on Halo 2 Vista.

Is the OS Scarab gun an Achievement also?

No, just the one on Metropolis. What is this second Scarab Gun on Outskirts? I never heard of this, perhaps it is on YouTube?

I also never heard of the Outskirts Scarab Gun but I did get the one on Metropolis a couple times. I tried both ways and have to say that the Banshee way is far more frustrating.

Yes, I have every gotten the Scarab Gun. Multiple times >:3

The last time I got it was to get an achievement in Halo 2 Vista.

What method did you use to get the OS gun?

This first vid just shows how to get out to where the Scarab is spawned. You have to drive out in the water:

Path to Gun

This second vid documents the actual spawning of the Scarab and gun:

See Gun

This vid is my friend Terminator (HIH) actually getting the gun and flogging covenant with it:

Get Gun

The links are to my page on filefront.com, a reputable dl site.

I got it, but there's not much to use it on.

I got. Don't use it inside the scarab though. The splash damage it atrocious.

Uhm, I just did it the only way I know how. I get a single Banshee to follow me through the tunnel at the end of the bridge, and lure it in to the tunnel. Then I hijack it the instant it says "loading...done". Curiously fly my way out of the tunnel, and out to freedom (or the Scarab Gun. Or even the soccer ball, if I feel like it. Or maybe even Pelican-related shenanigans. Who knows?).

The hard part is just getting the damn thing to follow you. If you get to close, or if it gets to close to you, the Banshee'll try to fly away from you, and keep on flying in to the wall. The best tactic for this is to back-off a reasonable distance, and try to get it to follow you again.

Usually takes a few tries for me to nail hijacking it at the right time. You have a split-second to do it =P

And what's all this, then? Those tutorial videos? I didn't know the Scarab Gun needed to spawn. I always thought it was just.. there =P

  • 11.24.2008 9:06 PM PDT

ROFL! The Scarab gun vids are in the level OS (Outskirts), not Metropolis. Metropolis has two guns, one that never moves and doesn't need to be spawned, and one that appears at the Scarab and that is there for only a short time (only once, when the Scarab first shoots).

Outskirts has one gun that can be seen from two different maps. You can get a glimps of the gun from inside the tunnel when the Scarab spawns if you drive a Hog fast and then look up at the Scarab. The other way is to follow what the vids showed.

Here's one other view of the OS gun where I swordflew to get it:

OS Gun

None of my vids are modded, I just use what Bungie gave me.

You really should consider uploading the videos to YouTube or something. It's terribly inconvenient having to go to that FileFront website. It took about a minute for one of the videos to finally load.

But anyway, I had no clue there was a Scarab Gun on Outskirts, or that there was even two on Metropolis x_X

EDIT: Just watched that video you linked. That was amazing. I never even knew such a thing existed O______O. But judging from that video, I guess the patch only fixed the sword-flying issue for Multiplayer. Yay =D

No on your edit. I keep an old box (no update) handy for swordflying and the 360 for other stuff.

  • 11.25.2008 9:38 AM PDT

Oh, dang. That sucks. I was getting giddy because I thought I could relive the days of old Halo 2 shenanigans (albeit, on Campaign) =[

But man, before that "issue" was fixed, it used to be so much fun to do. So many memories of using that trick to get to the top of the pipes in Headlong. Or doing it on Blood Gulch, and making a "ghost" version of myself, and sending vehicles spinning/flying for some reason =P

Agreed, my friend, good times.

There's a word for what I am, but I can't pronounce it.

BFA, CCS - olde and bony & one minute musings.

I obtained it using the Banshee -- It definitely rocked my socks.

  • 11.26.2008 9:14 PM PDT

Does anyone even read these?

I've gotten it before, it's a badass gun. I wish there was one in Halo 3 though.

Some say there is, but it hasn't been found. But hey, that's just what some say.

It's too bad it can't be used for multiple levels. It'd make the fight with Tarturus a little easier. And starting Gravemind with something other than a needler would be amazing.

  • 11.27.2008 12:58 PM PDT

Yeah, it's fun but you have to watch where you use it. I've tried a bunch of times to win the OS skull fight with the Elites with that gun and I kill myself each time.
