Scorpions Rock!

I got a look at some new vehicle models today, including the Scorpion tank. Few things I'd love to tell you about that but can't. I can probably tell you about the new Pelican model however, and it's a doozy. It's fully bump-mapped, impeccably detailed and features a real 3D -blam!-pit, complete with joysticks. You can't fly it of course, but it looks so much better than first time around. My favorite feature, apart from the detail added by bump-mapping everything, is the new glass shader. When you pan around the c.o.c.kpit glass, it shimmers and reflects convincingly. Adding the extra depth makes it look much more like a working vehicle than in the first game. When I saw it, it was having damage applied to it, so expect to see one or two of them smashed up in Halo 2.

Yes, Frankie has mentioned it.

As you can see, it has been mentioned in the weekly updates, but work on it is still apparently secret!

Didn't bungie mentioned a long time ago that it is in the game, and they improved it's stearing so that the one analog stick controls movement while the other controls the turret?

Also, I hope they make it more accuracte, but remove the machine gun...

It'd be cool, and unique if you could have it that snipers can set markers (Nav points) where enemy units are and have the tank act as artilary and blow the enemies away... Talk about strats....
