What do you think? Are we going to see any scarabs in Halo ODST? I hope so, it was one of my favorite parts of Halo 3. This is a far fetched idea, but wouldn't it be insane if at high levels of fire fight there were scarabs? Just my opinion.

The firefight levels we've seen are too small for Scarabs, and ODST's wouldn't have any effective way to kill a Scarab.

It would be hard to get on considering you can't jump as high as spartens but ya that would be pretty cool.

Yeah, the size of the maps were what made me think it wouldn't happen, but once ODST is out, some bigger firefight maps might come out. Adding scarabs would add a whole new level of epicness.

Four shots, four kills, reload, repeat. This is the work of a sniper.

I hope at lest one of the modes has a scarab, although I doubt either of them will.

KillaGod is my alternate Bungie.net account with my Gamertag linked to that account!

Ty92PrideFireZ is my new alternate account with my new and permanent Gamertag linked to that account.

It would be pretty epic if we fought a Scarab in FireFight mode.

If they threw a Scarab into New Mombasa, which is heavily unlikely, it would probably throw some major pwnage to the city.

After that, it could get mac`d or something. Definately not the job for ODST`s.
I wouldn`t say they wouldn`t be up for the challenge though. =)

Argumentum ad populum

I don't think ODST's could really do anything to a scarab. They could kill it's legs, but like someone said before you can't jump high enough to get on it.

a scarab should be the xfinal bossx.



maybe not. iunno.

what if during campaign u had to climb onto one of new mombasas taller buildings and jump off on to a rampaging scarab below only to discover one of our fellow squadmates dead body being devoured by jackels on board.

all one would have to do is hide in a building and the scarab couldn't kill you.

Unless it can mow down a building.

if its the Halo 3 scarab, we would all be well and truly screwed. Unless we hide in a building :P

well fire fight is going to be like gears of war 2, horde and in that the farther you get the harder guys come at you so i think there will be scarbes but lets just hope for the best

actually i think its completely random, on one instance only some jackals and a few brutes dropped on the first wave, but in another scenario wraiths were dropped off first. I think that only the skulls are planned, or maybe those are random too

We could see one of the dead Scarabs from Halo 2.

did you not play halo 2?

  • 06.12.2009 5:45 PM PDT

i dont think that only 4 odsts are capable of taking down a scarab. we would need at least 4 scorpions to do that

  • 06.12.2009 5:56 PM PDT

it'll prolly be more like how u kill the halo 2 scarab
