Has anyone noticed very little information has been revealed on the Scorpion, i think one weekly update awhile back gave some brief info. Think about it, destructible Scorpions :D Im surprised how there has been so little vehicle information released, hopefully Halo 2 will have a lot of new and updated material in this category.

I hope they change something about the scorpions... what you ask? I'm not sure, I just didn't like them very much, perhaps just the design of the tank, I hope they change it to a two person vehicle or something.

Maybe they could do something with that machine gun on that tank cause to me that was useless.

i thought the tank was cool...

i mean, it was pretty balanced compared to the others. the easiest to snipe out of, but other than that, it wreaked havoc.

and the machine gun was the AR. it was supposed to be weak... but was good for spotting people, and inviso people.

the tank shoots faster, is black, and takes dammage, that is all i know from a friend that played the beta

The Scorpion was mentioned in one of the Weekly Updates ages ago. What was said was that they did do a bit of changes with the controls, but other then that they left it somewhat the same. Now remember, that was a coons age ago so only Bungie knows what's been changed since then, if anything that is.

No, he's telling the truth. Actually, the tank barely takes any damage at all, and if you shoot out the gas tank, it is an instant destruction of the Scorpion.

gas tank? lol that would be sweet as long as it isnt that easy to hit. i just hope that they make it great. i'd love to see destructible chunks flying off the scorpion.

The beta testing was internal ONLY as I recall Bungie saying...and why would any one at Microsoft be testing the game...I would think the people who made it are testing #1, THEY DESERVE IT and #2, to see if theres any bugs or something they missed...you gotta play it to make it flawless...

Yep, I also wonder if WE the player can hop on the side of the scorpion like the marines did...I try doing it myself but I turn as a smear on the blood gulch sands after being sent through the tank's tracks...

What about marines driving tanks. I think it would be cool to be surrounded by Covenant and about to die when a division of tanks just come out of nowhere and blow -blam!- up. As long as the marines don't drink and drive. I liked the design of the old scorpion, it looked intimidating.

O_o...we could always do that, maybe your driver was some kind of selfish maniac. In Halo2, if someone approaches me when I'm driving something, I'll always stop for them. I can see selfish bastards online both ways. Drivers running over would be passengers, and -blam!- teamates who throw a grenade at your tank and get in it after those -blam!-s are done t-bagging the old driver. Live is going to be great, but the people might not be.

i hope the noob cannon.....oops i mean tank is gone. only way i wouldn't mind it still being in is if the speed of moving the barrel(aiming) was greatly reduced so that you to use it in a more strategic manner.

Me and my friends only consider the tank noobish since halo 1s multiplayer maps were so small. BTW, your not supposed to say noob here.

How is is a noob gun. It's slow, one rocket will take it out, it's easy to snipe the driver out, to avoid the shells you just have to be on the low side of a hill. Your noobish if you don't know how to counter attack.
