Subject: NO Scarabs in Firefight confirmed???

http://www2.britxbox.co.uk/viewarticle.php?id=3807

From Britxbox:

"With infinite waves of enemies to fight, players can fight on for as long as their team's pot of lives last and will get to battle it out in Warthogs and other vehicles. However, it has been confirmed that there are no Scarabs in Firefight. Such a shame."

ATTN Bungie: NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

On the blood of our fathers, on the blood of our sons.

All I can say is THANK GOD, do you really think 4 odst can take down a Scarab? Hell you gotta use guerilla tactics even as chief to take one down.

Announcer: GAME OVER! LOL YOU GOT PWNED


Fixed. lol Scarabs, while really, really cool, would be a little TOO much for a squad of ODSTs, I think. I'm starting to become afraid of anything bigger then a Brute the way they're pushing "You're not a Spartan anymore". We'll see how it goes. They might change their mind.

Really? Am I the only one that thought the Scarab fights in Halo 3: Regular were pretty easy? Epic, but not to difficult.

Since This Is Bungie's Last Time Showing The Halo 3 Engine Off I Would Have Thought They Would Give Everything They Got But Sadly I'm Mistaken

Easy or not he still used guerilla tactics which was getting one on it knee by destory the legs then climbing on bored unless you had a heavy Vechile which will not be in firefight.

Eat raw meat.
Punch a bear in the face.


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

If you had low ammo for a SMG and pistol, do you think a Scarab would be an easy target on foot?

Hell, most people would poop themselves if they even think that something like that is coming to murder them.

People have no idea what they're talking about. As an ODST you would be vaporized in miliseconds by a scarab. Leave the big stuff for the Spartans. :)

how happy is a midget likely to be once you start melting cheese on them?


(O : o)=GTI=W====(o : O)

It would have been cool if the scarab made a 5 minute appearance every so often. It would help the covenant reach the ODST's position and therefore make Firefight even more challenging.

Melee'n pray?

No I see what you're saying, but a Scarab could plop down at the start of a wave so you can restock your ammo and stuff. I mean we all owned a Scarab just using a missile pod, right?

What? I ODST spam Scarabs all the time in Halo Wars. They go down like a chump. They drop faster than Lindsay Lohan's panties. They blow up like a new 50 Cent album. They die harder than the guy at the end of Die Hard. They explode like, um... ah I got nothing.

  • 07.24.2009 9:36 PM PDT

I am quite confident 4 player controlled ODSTs can take out a Scarab. It would have to be on a wide open level. Maybe have a Hornet spawn when the Scarab appears. Very disappointing Bungie. Very disappointing.

  • 07.24.2009 9:48 PM PDT

when you jump into a scarab, you're at about the highest point of your jump when you're a spartan
so ODST's won't be able to make the jump

Llamas

I don't think an odst squad by itself couldn't destroy one without a bunch of scorpions or hornets
however i think one could appear for about 20 seconds.. destroy a truckload of buildings mess up all the cover for the odst's drop some brutes then disappear

They actually could, you just have to use the extremely hard and dangerous technique of destroying those boxes on their legs while avoiding the massive death ray, make the scarab fall down while recovering, then board a close quarters covenant infested battle zone, make your way to the top, blow the heart of the scarab up, and then hi- tail it off that sucker without jumping all the way down because you'd die of fall damage, and when you finally get off the towering monstrosity, you'd have to find the nearest form of cover or risk being obliterated into thousands of tiny bits...

...Way to go Bungie, you just took out one of the most epic things that could've been in firefight...
*sigh*

Loose talk is noose talk.

You're an ODST/Sgt. Johnson, facing endless hordes of enemies. Tack on a Scarab to that and firefight would quickly become too hard.

maybe it's a final boss in campaign? I think that would be pretty cool.
