Hunters? I would think you would need a couple.

Hunters cant do anything against a scorpion. One shot and they're dead. Wraiths I guess would put some fight up against it but scorpions are more accurate and they're stronger. I didnt even know you can get scorpions in firefight, it would be too easy.

I speak the truth, and truth speaks itself.
The lies disguise what you despise.
Run. Flee and be, what you've always dreamed.
What happens now won't matter later.
What you see will not be, nor what you imagine will not happen.
The end is close, so take your dose.

About 2 luckily-placed plasmas and the tank is dead.

Tank beats Hunter!

Sorry, I had to do that. A Hunter pair doesn't stand a chance against a Scorpion (The Ark from Halo 3? Remember?) Wraiths wouldn't be that hard, either.

The only thing that might be a threat would be a Scarab and I doubt Scarabs would be in Firefight.

If you ever try and fail.....erase all evidence that it was you who tried

Think about it. Hunters, Wraiths, The Ghost that moves to fast to shoot, and the occasional mad Brute

You can't shoot a ghost?

True. Now that I think about it having the -blam!- beat out of you with a pool ball in a tube sock by your degenerate pimp is the better choice.

Only thing that will kill a scorpion tank in Firefight is attrition. Look at a warthog from Halo 3. One plasma grenade isn't enough to kill it, so if you stick it it will flip and the driver or gunner might die but the warthog will survive. Of course, stick it again, even if the occupants are at full health, and the warthog will explode.

Its the same for a scorpion tank. After all the grenades and rockets and wraith mortars and other things that are throw at it the armor will weaken to the point where it won't take nearly as much to blow it up.

That said, if you get in a scorpion, you are set for a good while, but not forever. It definitely isn't a win the game button

What about AA wraiths?

You understand that AA stands for Anti-Air. Those were only used against Hornets and Pelicans and turned on you if you make a nuisance to the pilot.

It could be possible those would be a match for the Scorpion but it isn't deployed to fight Scorpions.

Eat raw meat.
Punch a bear in the face.


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

I honestly hope there aren't any Scorps in Firefight. That'd be too easy. Warthogs and Mongi are all you need.

IMO, a good warthog can take out more enemies more effectively and more quickly than a tank.

there wont be a scorpion in firefight.

*GASP!*

Have you ever played Valhalla or Avalanche Heavy?

Type-26 Ground Support Aircrafts ANYBODY?!?!?!????!!?!?!?!??!??!?!?

Being a virtual god with the Banshee (before playing WAY too much Halo Wars) I know that a Banshee can easily take down a tank. Plus with Halo 3: ODST, you don't have the shield surrounding the tank anymore. I believe the tank mechanics will work in about as much the same way as Call of Duty 5 (takes too much damage and becomes nothing more than a glorified anti-tank emplacement/pile of wreckage when a grenade/Satchel/Bazooka hits it).
So please if you will, remember that you don't have shields. Or is the game supposed to be called Halo: SWAT so that way you can remember that there is NO SHIELDS! (OMGWTFBBQ)

I do believe we aren't getting vehicles for Firefight. Other than a Mongoose.
