Don't have much detail, but here is what i was thinking about. This could be like a double exp weekend or social playlist.
Where there are say 2 teams consisting of 4 people each. Each team spawns next to a scarab where there will be a supply of weapons to load up on before climbing onto a scarab. The goal is to destroy the other team's scarab. The scarabs will eventually get close enough to where u can jump onto the other and attempt to take it out. There could also be deployable grav lifts to try and fly onto the enemy's scarab. Maybe even vehicles like banshees to fly around and attack.

I don't know, just randomly thought of this, let me know what you think lol.

Bringing you lame jokes, social awkwardness and the occasional good idea since 2008

Would be great as a new game mode.

I am of an open mind and I am willing to hear criticism. Also: That's stupid and you're stupid.

Can you control the Scarabs, or would they walk on their own on the side of one another?

If they do walk on their own, then I would rather have Gondolas, like that one mission we had on Halo 2.

If we can control them, I would prefer a whole battle scene with them, destroy an enemy fortress/base, while Pelicans and tanks come and try to take you down.

maybe a huge map with controllable scarabs? Or a better version of the elephant.

lets say someone could control it if they wanted to, or it could stay on autopilot and make its way to the enemy.

scarabs = AI, not vehicles.

Yeah, try to punch out all the worms from the giant bug.

The setting could be like somehow really high in the sky, in like icy mountains. So if you fell off the scarab, you die.
