No.

I can safely say, without any proof what so ever, that this won't happen.

My reasoning:

common sense.

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?

Possible but unbelievably unlikely.

You sure?
Johnson seemed to have it nailed in Halo 2.

The Scarab isn't a very drivable vehicle since the worm colonies inside its husk like inside the hunter are what actually drive it yeah? That's actually something that confuses me in Halo Wars, the flood must have killed all the worm colonies in the husk of the Scarab in order for it to be controllable by the UNSC.

Uhm, dude, you know those Hunter Scarabs were due to advances in the covenant tech or whatever right?
The first ones were just really big machines.

I can agree there Halo Wars confuses a lot but it still (loosely) follows Halo correctly.

Don't forget that halo wars ISN'T a bungie creation, it was made by ensemble studios and bungie had practiacally no imput on it whatsoever. That's why the canon got all messed up, if you want a job done properly...do it yourself.


I bought halo wars yesterday, and finished it in like 8 hours (with a very bad headache in the end I might add).

It might have been the headache, but the ending was kinda cool, but not something that Bungie would make. That's when I realized, Bungie didn't make Halo Wars! :-)

I'm not convinced. Perhaps more exclamation points are needed.

No.

I'm pretty sure its nearly confirmed that it was a garbage truck they were talking about. I think if we even SEE a scarab we'll be luck. But we are supposed to be ODSTs so our challenges are at a lower skill level than Chiefs, not easier just a different scale.

Maybe you get to drive a UNSC Destroyer!

The scarab on Halo 2 is a mining scarab. The reason they brought the mining scarab and not the combat/assault scarab is because they didn't expect humanity on Earth, partially to the fact that they had just gotten done mining on Reach, returned to Joyous Exultation, and left for Earth right when the NOVA bomb blew up half the planet and well over 300 Elite-controlled ships. The Covenant originally came to Earth searching for Forerunner artifacts. the mining scarab is infantry controlled because they can actually see and dig accordingly.

The combat scarab is made up of Lekgolo because it was a good idea at the time. Either that or the MgaLekgolo was so useful, they decided to add more worms to a bigger suit of armor; a scarab variant.

Just remember that no matter how terrible you feel, or how much you want to let go, there are people who care about you and love you.

Wrong, Halo 2s Scarab had two Elite pilots in the Scarab, My geuse is that the Lekgollo (the damn worms) just allow the Scarab to move and give it power.

or garbage truck.
