Scarabs battles are one of the most epic elements to ever hit Halo's campaign. To make the engagements with them even more versatile I came up with three main factors that could drastically change the way Scarab battles are fought.
1. The Scarab's Weapons
2. Who is Onboard the Scarab
3. What you use to fight the Scarab
The Scarab's Weapons
Scarabs have their primary gun, secondary gun, and then also turrets on the back and sides.
I recommend that the primary gun always tries to shoot at you, but then the secondary gun mainly just tries to attack you when you are in a flying vehicle and whenever you aren't on the ground below the scarab. The turrets shoot you once you come close and are within range.
Interchangeable Secondary Guns
The Scarab could keep the secondary gun it already has in Halo 3, but then other variants you could fight would have a triple wraith mortar launcher, or a rapid firing fuelrod cannon. There could even be a type of Scarab that doesn't have a secondary gun, but it moves extra quickly and has a slightly higher tendency to step on you.
Interchangeable Turrets
The current Halo 3 scarab uses plasma cannon turrets, but some other turrets it could have would be the turret from the Shadow vehicle in Halo 2, or power drain beam turrets that can't kill you but they quickly lower your shields and can stun your vehicle for a little bit. Another variant of scarab might not even have turrets but then it carries a couple on board vehicles, like a couple ghosts or a banshee that come out at unexpected times.
Who is Onboard the Scarab
Different types of enemies could be on a Scarab. Elites, Grunts, Jackals, and Brutes would be the main types of enemies you fight on a Scarab. However drones, a hunter, or Elites with Jet Packs or Camo would also make a tough Scarab crew.
What you use to fight the Scarab
I've noticed that you never really fight a Scarab with a Spartan Laser, or what I think would be really cool is if you fight a Scarab with a bunch of marines and an Elephant.
A few other cool ways to encounter a Scarab that where seen in Halo 3 are with...
Missle Pods
Mongooses with Rocket Launcher Passengers
Gauss Warthogs
Scorpion Tanks
Hornets
and in ODST a Banshee
So do you guys like my ideas for a lot more possibilities for Scarab battles in Halo Reach? Do you have any ideas to make Scarab battles even more epic and have more variety?
