If there's Scarabs in ODST, Do you think they will look like they do in Halo 2?

Don't take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyways.

Think about it. In halo 3 you had a shield against a scarab and it still ripped you apart on heroic in two seconds. Imagine how hard would be without a shield..

No.

If I'm honest I think scarabs will be damned easy if they do appear in ODST. The only reason it kills marines in Halo 3's campaign so well is because they have A.I telling them not to kill it, because that is the players job.

Even on legendary the only real threat from a scarab is the troops on board, if you keep under it, and I doubt they'll make you any slower than the chief or it would disrupt the gameplay.

Also remember in Halo 3's development they mentioned having to tone down the marine A.I in some areas as they sometimes killed the scarabs before the player could.

No.. Wayyyy to hard. You have to think way to tacticaly
What's wrong with a little difficulty?


A game is far less successful if only the smart people can get through it.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Yes please. Excellent boss battle.

  • 07.21.2009 11:33 AM PDT

Most likely not. Wasn't there a fierce scarab battle in the almost end of Halo 2?

I know all of you are saying no i am agreeing with you but it would be cool to see an adandoned scarab. Like how johnson controlled one in halo 2 and in halo wars a spartan could control one.

Seriously, don't you think a laser shot could take down one of the legs, have another 2 ODST's hop on and do work, and boom no more scarab...and then your 4th will be chatting up dare or something..lolz. seriously though, a couple laser shots or a scorpion could do some major damage. difficult to take down, but definitely possible

Every time you say something is old your dick shrinks.

i dont even remember fighting a scareb on halo3 on ledgendary XD

Every time you say something is old your dick shrinks.

i allways thot it would be cool if the hornet had a tow cable on the back. then you shot the cable at the scarebs legs and you would circle it until it falls over.....iv been watching starwars.

Idiot can be a hard language to learn, but once you get it down, everything becomes so clear! The whole world will make sense to you.

Maybe they could have one or two scarabs in the open-world city that wander around, climbing over buildings and wreaking havoc Cloverfield style. The player can chose to avoid them and hide, or try to board it and destroy it with a well-timed jump from a skyscraper or something.

nobody seemed to mention that most likely the reason the Scarab from Halo 2 looked different than the ones in Halo 3 is the fact that in those 3 years Bungie developed a bigger and more detailed graphics engine, and also they were able to make the scope of the game in Halo 3 bigger, so we got to fight more scarabs. As far as the story for ODST, i dont know if they will be in there, doest seem likely as it will be just ODST's and Regret has already left, but who knows? BTW whoever posted and said there should be an invisible Scarab is a crack smoking retard.

  • 07.21.2009 1:01 PM PDT

Maybe we should poll who wants to see a Scarab in ODST. I think it would be awesome if they're in the game. Especially if they're in Firefight... god that'd be sweet.

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)


yea... add like 6 brutes , laser beam , cannon , 3 plasma cannons and ghosts/other things driving around and getting core destroyed with an odst or two...
it sounds like its gonna be easy on legendary...


LoLoLoL

Ya I believe it would be to hard for an ODST to run around on a moongoose and destroy a scarab. It was hard enough to do it on legendary as the chief. But then again on Halo wars you could destroy a scarab with ODSTs. But thats a different game.

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


I never take down scarabs. The first one, i take a ghost up either one of the elevators near where marines are firing missle pods, then after agrivating the scarab, it walks toward me. Thats when i boost off the end of the elevator's bridge onto the scarab, and I kill all the brutes and grunts onboard. Its fun just walkin around. I do a similar thing to the second scarab. I take a chopper or a ghost on top of the big grey building, and when the scarab gets close enough, I boost onto it. Then on the covenant, I land on top of it with a hornet. (I normally play with another person on the covenant, so we both take out one scarab, and we don't care about our hornets getting destroyed in the explosion. But i suppose it would be possible to fly the hornet of the scarab in time.) So, it's as easy as that. You just need to hijack a ghost and you can take down the scarab easily.

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

Scarabs were way to easy in Halo 3. I think they would be great in ODST, you would actually have to use some skill and strategy.

what if the drop pods shoot down into the scarab, then exit the pod guns a blazing, throw a grenade into the base of the scarab and leave casualy, its not that -blam!- hard guys.

think about it..........................
