Subject: Scarabs in ODST?

Think about it properly. In open assult, by charging in with scorpions, the ODSTs would set a new standard of fail. BUT, what about luring a scarab into a tunnel and then collapsing it? Or dropping a building on it. Considering this, if included in set pieces, scarabs should appear.

Datass

no. Just think, most of the time you had to kill a lot of brutes on the scarabs in halo 3 ALONE on them. Also, by the time you usually killed them all, the thing was already back up. Jumping off of it would KILL an ODST from that height.

Yeah that would be cool! Maybe have some marines or part of your squad lead the scarab to a certain point and then you activate a switch that swings a dock crane or something into it.

Welcome to my empire.

I would just like to see it passing by or something. Or you have to run from it until help arrives then it gets taken down.

Agreed

it would be way to hard plus your in a tight city so it wouldn't fit

1 SPARTAN-II = 6 playable (as in not a NPC/AI) ODST's... but it would be cool to at least see the one MC pwned.

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


I single handedly took down two scarabs on Mythic.

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


1: I've kept the Covenent mission lazer from the beginning and couldn't take down the legs.

2: ODST's cant exactly "hop on and do work" because a. you can't jump high enough and b. your sheilds would never survive the defense troops.

VERY difficult to take down, and possible if you're a complete genius.

No way, It wouldn't work out. 2 ODST had to take out a bridge just to stop a few wraiths.

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


I agree. It's fairly easy, even on Legendary.
