It's just an idea. Maybe somewhere in the campaign, like in Halo 2 when Johnson pilots the Scarab, we as the player could hijack one? We could use it like a vehicle but only in campaign, it'd be too beasty in multiplayer. Halo players have already gotten the Scarab Gun on Halo 2, right? So why not pilot the actual thing?

I say yes because that would be sweeeeet.

  • 11.08.2009 6:48 AM PDT

only in campaign

Yeah the in halo ce is awsome and i think you find a empty scarab and cortana tells you to hijack to get through a huge door or something.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite airstrike.

Yeah, for some reason I keep thinking of Gears of War 2 when you hijack the giant Brumak lol. But the Scarab idea came to mind, but of course ONLY in campaign. Also a more destructive environment would be nice, something like Red Faction, cuz i hate in Halo when you blow something up the environment doesn't react. So a more destructive environment would be awesome too, more stuff to blow up with the Scarab =D

Actually guys--sorry to burst your bubble--but I believe Scarabs are driven by Lekgolo (the many worm organisms that compose the hunters).

If you pop the blue shield in the back of the scarab, just zoom and you can see worms moving around.

Waiting for the end.. <3 Bu4gie <3

Sure! why not...

Stupid ass washing machine...

For canocical reasons I don't think this will happen - if you were to command a Scarab in-game you would have to 'jack' it - right?

But as we all should know, in Halo Wars (which is considered to be canon), even Spartans can't jack a Scarab... for some r'tarded reason or whatever.

I'm not saying I dislike the idea - hell, I love it! I'm just saying I don't think it'll happen.

  • 11.08.2009 8:23 AM PDT

I like the idea, but wouldn't it make the game a little too easy? Having a giant mining machine melt things with it's weaponry? I don't know...

Umm, I don't think this idea would fit good into a campaign level also we aren't sure if there was any Scarab on reach, perhaps driving a scarab and using some features of its own that aren't too OP, that would work great, but the way you described the scarab its too OP for a campaign level.

Also Piloting a scarab would mean a huge level, that would go against some points of Halo's loading system, I am not sure though.

The XBOX 360 can handle a scarab or two, in a huge map with a lot of enemies and vehicles and all the other stuff? We've to think about hardware too, since we're talking about a mediocre performance in a map that will be full of objects and a lot of variables.
