It would be Pretty cool to rush in and kill everyone on board ODST style, But will it make it in the full game, and which version? (halo 2 or 3)

What's wrong with a little difficulty?

You don't understand. It was hard enough to take down a scarab on legendary when you were a spartan. Try to imagine with 4 ODSTs.

I wonder what a drop pod would do to one of those...

  • 06.15.2009 8:16 PM PDT

it'd be fun, but if you think about it, the Scarab from Halo 2 was a dumbass, and the Scarabs from Halo 3 would be too hard.

unlikely. but possible.

  • 06.15.2009 8:20 PM PDT

The Scarab on Legendary on Halo 3 was not too hard. I realize there is a difference between ODST and Spartan, but: 4 ODST+ 1 Scarab= Dead Scarab

What game where you playing? i single handedly took down 2 scarabs on legendary.

  • 06.15.2009 8:41 PM PDT

It would be very epic, but I could see a problem with getting on top of it

Resistance Is Futile...

When I played on legendary I just drove a chopper up a obvious ramp in the game and landed n top of it, jumped out, Threw A grenade in the CORE and jumped off asap... simple..... To answer your question... I'm 89% sure there will be just off my judgment alone... It's part of the covenants arsenal... Even if you don't fight one I am sure you will at least see one (kinda like in Halo 2 when it is walking through the city)


B.T.W To those who do not know, you can get the COMPLETED ON LEGENDARY Achievement in Co-op... makes it a HECK of a lot easier with a friend...... (send one to fight and one to stand back safe, the fighting one will just keep spawning by the other every time they die. that way you dont have to start back at a checkpoint... I know that was off subject but just thought I would mention it sience we were talking about Legendary....

what if you find the scarab that master chief destroyed? that would be cool.

The scarabs were easy

Keep the hate coming Flood, I can take it. Because I'm the hero the Flood deserves, but not the one it needs right now...and so you'll flame me, because I can take it. Because I'm not a hero. I'm a silent guardian, a watchful protector...jrv2005.

If I'm not mistaken, 1 scarab owns like 15 marines if you don't help, so I doubt 4 ODST will be able to do too well.

Taking down a Scarab solo would be impossible for an ODST. Remember, Master Chief was a spartan with the ability to jump really high and regenerate health. An ODST would never even be able to climb onto a Scarab's body, let alone destroy it.
BTW. The plot for ODST in no way calls for Scarab involvement in the first place.

Hmm would be fun ... .but very hard for a ODST. ODST might have armor but nothing compared to a spartans. ODST v.s a scarab is like a kid with a toy gun v.s. the army with ofc real guns ....

But i would like to see the scarab that master cheif destroyed so you can see the places in halo2. Like you so see the slip space event with the prophets cruiser and that was in halo 2.

Think about it.....

The Events of your Squad were after the Slipspace Rupture so I doubt the Covenant would send a Scarab for a few ODSTs.

It would be cool, but think about it, you're alo....!!!!! CRAP!!!! i shouldn't have voted yet, the flashbacks! they could easily put one in the flashbacks! why didn't I think about that.
using the rookie alone, you would never stand a chance, but in the flashbacks, they could set it up just like they do in halo 3, so that you have a ton of troops and vehicles making it possible to take one down.

  • 06.16.2009 9:30 AM PDT

That would rock!

yh ... scarabs are mainly sent to wipe out huge numbers of UNSC at a time ... so like a UNSC base ...etc. But the slipspace event destroyed most of new mombasa. So a scarab will be really pointless ... + all the scarabs were bk on the cruiser heading the Instaltion 05.

I could amgine a Scarab in New Mombasa...... Actualy no i couldn't...
But there could be one in the flash backs i guess. But i doubt there will be one. ODST = Stealth Spartan = Running n Gunning

Play Halo 2. You chase a Scarab in Halo 2 around New Mombasa.

And if I'm not mistaken, 4 PLAYER CONTROLLED ODSTs would be able to take down a Scarab. And I could easily see Scarabs in Firefight as one of the toughest waves. Imagine an invisible Scarab... that would rule.
