Will there be a Scarab Gun, just like in Halo 2?

?

I guess it's possible, but the real question is, does it really make a difference?

This game is built around stealth and i don't think shooting a scarab gun is very stealthy

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

Ignorance is the true enemy of all things.

LMAO. That would be epic. Would probably take some epic launching though.

Well ODST focuses on Stealthy aspects of the game. I don't believe that the Scarab Gun was very quiet. Now on a mission that requires you to drive away from or fight in coming *"Hordes"* *Wink, Wink, Nudge, Nudge* of enemies, then you might be given a weapon like that but will limited ammo.

Image a Flashback scene...

Buck: EVERYONE! FALL BACK!! COVENANT...OVERRUNNING POSITION!!!
Dutch: Buck, something's falling down from that building. *Runs to site and picks it up* Its a...Plasma rifle...
Buck: Drop it, we gotta get the hell out of here!
Dutch: This is no ordinary gun.
Buck: GIVE ME THAT! Now, I'm going to point it in the direction of the Covenant and fire. And nothing. Nothing is going. To Happen. *Pulls the Trigger*

Entire Covenant Battle Group that was overrunning their position just disappears in a flash of light.

Buck: Holy...Son of a...
Dutch: Told you it wasn't ordinary.

I hope so (crosses fingers)

maybe, i guess there is a possibility...

however, i wouldn't like to obtain it, maybe once, just to know where it is in case i need it, but otherwise, i won't go for it.

Sniper's Motto: Reach out and touch someone.

If it were, knowing Bungie, they'd but it in a too obvious of a spot that no one would bother checking.

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

Would be fun to have it in the game as an easter egg.

The scarab gun wasnt intended to ever be used thats why it was hidden, but they needed it to be in the game so that the scarabs could use it, look it up.


No, it was an Easter Egg that Bungie put in on purpose, for fun. Your statement would be like saying "they had to put a massive soccer ball into the game because soccer payers are in Halo".

If it shared the same effects as Halo 2 (kicking up billions of chunks of metal or concrete from the ground/buildings), then I'd go for it.

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

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

It's definitely on my "crazy, but possible" list, along with the golden Warthog of course.

Would be hilariously cruel if you pick it up, even says Scarab Gun, 100% Charge, you rush out to fight, and it just fizzes out.

And the fact it was most likely supposed to be there since I'm pretty sure Halo 2 PC has an achievement for getting it.

I think it will be hidden in there at some point. I still havent pushed aside the idea that it isnt hidden somewhere in Halo 3, the hunt is still on for me :(
