Well i dunno if Halo reach will fully be Cannon with the books but there is mention of covenant mining equipment, so in Halo Wars there were Locusts, Do you guys think we will see a sort of variation to that extent. If you think about it Bungie has put some sort of Plasma/Beam-thing in every game, whether it be from forrunner to hunter to Scarab.

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

The Scarabs are originally what the covenant used for mining.

Stand away from the shotgun pal
Will always remember for being famous on the Bungie cams. :)
Is Eternally grateful for Bungie helping me rock'recon :D

Well the actually Mining tools are the ones used on Scarabs.

But I would love to see some more of Halo war's vehicles fully-glorified in the Reach engine. Possible even Vultures. Maybe even be part of a Pilot team that controls a group of them.

Cobra's being my favourite would be pretty sweet, seeing taking out Scarabs from a distance as long range artileratry.

Punch a bear in the face.


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

For a moment I thought "OH MY GOD this idiot wants a Gears of War crossover!" My apologies for my stupidity.

I don't see why it couldn't make an appearance in Reach. I actually remember reading in Halo: First Strike that there were some mining walkers on the planet Reach (Could've been Scarabs, but Locusts fit the description too) so it's possible.

It's on a lot of community maps. Affinity, Think Twice, Abridged...

I meant good maps

I really would like to see vehicles from Halo Wars to appear in Reach. Somne, like the Grizzly, would have to be forge maps only, because they're ridiculously powerful. I think the Locust could be good as a stationary turret, sort of like a shade turret that fires lasers.

BTW, when I read the title, I thought you were talking about Gears of War's Locust. LOL.
