If not in the original game, I see this being a feature added later on to firefight, especially if a huge map is released. I would be pumped if there were scarabs in the game. I think bungie would have to tweak it a bit to make a new way to take down scarabs, or at least to get on board of one.
Possibly the map could have some sort of bridge, or several bridges, and when the scarab arrives, you race to these bridges and wait for the scarab to walk under so you can leap down onto it. The danger would be trying to stay out of the scarabs line of sight, because if it sees you, it blasts the whole bridge and you're done. I'd like to see something like that to take down scarabs, maybe that would just be one way, so it would be more like taking down the scarab from halo 2, but with some new twists. In halo 3, once you're on the scarab its usually cake to kill all those on the scarab, or just avoid them long enough to smash the power core. I'd like to see the layout more like the halo 2 scarab, where you go deeper into the scarab to reach the power core.
Because you're an ODST, killing the brutes, jackals and grunts aboard could be a challenge, and to destroy the power core, I'd like to see some sort of explosives needed. For example, one ODST grabs some explosives to rig up, and once on the scarab the other ODSTs have to protect the explosive carrier. Once they get to the power core, one sets the charges, and they all run like hell.
