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.
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*
