Subject: putting a scarab in firefight mode

< You touch my tush? >

i think if there was a scarab in firefight it would make the game even more awesome than it already is.

I think there will be one. Firefight would suck without it.

ODSTs fighting a Scarab?

lets think about this
...
...
"Yay! I love firefight!"
"Yeah! It's sooo fun! Woah, wait, what is, oh no! oh no no no!"
"OMG IT'S A -blam!- SCARAB"
"AAAW -blam!-"
"Wudawee do! We can't run fast enough to get to it, or jump high enough to get inside!"
"OH GOD! HERE IT COMES! AAAW NO!"
"How do we fight it! this is impossi..."KASBOOOOSH!

And then they all died and lived happily ever after.

yeah, scarabs are great.

Maybe you have to scale up the legs.

you would take it down the same way you take down any scarab. shoot at its legs until it lowers then jump in and you know the rest . not that hard. plus ODSTs should be able to jump high enough cuz in the halo 3 booklet it says only spartans are strong enough to break turrets off there stands and use them but if you look at the gameplay videos of ODST, you see them breaking turrets and running around with them. so if a spartan can do it then apparently so can a normal human. according to the game.

you do know those arent the only weapons you can use in firefight. sure you start off with those guns but im pretty sure there are other weapons to use besides those two

Eat raw meat.
Punch a bear in the face.


If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

Remember the main cannon on that thing, and also the guards on it. It'd be murder trying to destroy a scarab.

< You touch my tush? >

if you go in alone then yeah you'll get slaughtered but thats why you and the other three players would take it on as a team. isnt that the point of firefight, to survive and work together as a TEAM.

X74

i think in a high level wave there will be a scarab and you shoot the legs untill it lowers and you will be able to jump on board. i think it will be a nice challange.

They need to give you four spartan lasers, super powers like batman and a gravity lift to win of that.. LOL :)

  • 07.20.2009 12:48 PM PDT

I am a Halo 3 Failure.

ODST's jump lower, it's been confirmed by Bungie, and they don't care about anything in the booklet, if ODST's couldn't walk around with turrets it would mess thing's up.

My troll sense is tingling.

As long as there is an Elephant-based firefight level, I'm happy.

Batman doesn't have super powers.

A well-built sniper rifle is a beautiful thing. Mine has two separate levels of zoom: 'Up-close-and-personal' and 'Hello-you're-dead'.

You would need a lot ammo to take down the Scarab!
But that will be awesome!

A grappling hook and a few slices of cheese with that whine would take the Scarab down nice and easy.

if one spartan can take down a scarab on his own then im pretty sure four ODSTs working together can take one down as well. besides, it would be a nice change from constanly having to kill brutes, grunts, etc., over and over again. i mean think about it, you and your team mates are kill some aliens, then the wave stops coming and then you see a scarab walk onto the map. its just you and your team against the scarab. no other covenant troops arrive until its dead and the only covenant troops around are the ones you didnt kill before the scarab came. to me that sound pretty cool because it'll be a real challenge since you'll just be a normal human, not a genetically enhanced super human like the spartans. it'll actually take real team work to do it instead of everyone going out for their own kills and achievements. with or without the scarab firefight is going to be awesome no doubt, im just saying the addition of a scarab would make it even better.

I love Halo, I have played it since the beginning, even though I may not have had Xbox Live back then. Marathon is also a pretty good game.

Thank You Bungie! For the best games and Recon Armor. Also thanks for the early access to the Halo: Reach Beta!

Well as the description for Turf explained, Marines could take Scarabs down on their own.
If they made one level where a Scarab could show, but not necessarily appear on other levels i'd be satisfied.

A grappling hook makes sense as far as cannon goes, but as far as gameplay, I don't think Bungie is devoting that kind of gameplay mechanic to this game. Theres always Reach though.

  • 07.20.2009 1:30 PM PDT

there are hogs and stuff on the maps so you arn't defenceless two gauss hogs can take a scarab easly

  • 07.20.2009 2:18 PM PDT

get out of here stalker

Hijack the scarab in Firefight, and fight other scarabs while your teammates make sure no infantry gets in!
