Subject: Will there be scorpion tanks in ODST?

If tank beats everything, and I beat everything with the Tank, Does that make me the most dominant power in the universe? I think so.

Hopefully, its what makes Halo campaign so epic and fun. I'm guessing fire team won't because it'd be too easy, but the campaign will hopefully have at least one tank run :-)

We should know better, because we are better.

Possibly and its Firfight not Fire team.

I'm pretty sure there's footage of a Scorpion shooting at a Phantom in one of the demonstration videos. So, yes, there is most likely a tank run.

And its "Firefight", not " fire team".

There are drivable scorpions, there in NM, during the H2 story.

Doesn't mean we'll get to drive 'em. I'm thinking we may get to use them briefly in an epic battle scene for the finale?

I doubt that bungie would throw in a clip from the finale for a pre-launch trailer.

I simply make a point that there are Scorpions on the ground during H2. A story which shares both time and space with ODST. You then come back with, 'Doesn't mean we'll get to drive 'em' but you then go on to say, ''I'm thinking we may get to use them briefly in an epic battle scene for the finale"...

If, as you say, we won't necessarily be able to drive them then what, pray tell, will we do with them during 'your' finale? And why will our use of them be brief? And what do you base all of this on?

Download the ODST Gameplay Trailer. After the word "Orbital" is shown in the title sequence, a very short clip of a Scorpion being driven with you at the controls is shown.

I'm saying that we most likely won't be able to use them. The city looks too cramped for large tanks to traverse. However, if they did make an appearance, a large finale would make a great setting to introduce the Scorpions in the game. I don't know if we will or won't be able to use them. Just speculating.

Clearer?

every halo has had at least 1 tank battle

halo 1: assault on the control room

halo 2: metropolis, and delta halo

halo 3: the ark

so i am assuming there will be a tank battle somewhere.

also every halo has had an aerial battle level so lets hope theres one in odst too

bungie is very consistent...

I just re-watched the ODST gameplay vid as well. There it is, a scorpion in the game, clear as mud. shooting down some covey scum.

BTW, there is a scene in the ODST gameplay vid which shows the player flying in a Banshee.
