If you only had
10 ODSTs
5 Rockets
10 .50 Cal Rounds for the sniper
20 Marines
A Warthog
2 Falcons

one, split my forces so the scarab dont know where to shoot. then, have my odst shoot the infatry on the scarab, then land on scarab's back. get out,and blow it up. Get back onfalcon though, ofc.

What a waste....

Use the Warthog as a distraction and rive it around under the scarab with troopers shooting up, and take the ODSTs and Marines in the Falcons and board it.

BANOOSH

Use one of the Falcons and a few marines as a distraction. Use that handy old winch on the 'hog. Get the marines to use it and a Falcon to 'tie up' the scarab. This way, it would 'trip' so the ODSTs can storm in and deal with the crew, after which they could choose to destroy the Scarab (by planting the rockets and sniping them from a distance) or capture it for added firepower/UNSC research.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.” – Psalms 46:1-3

I'd stare at it.

Make the 20 Marines and 9 ODSTs make a human ramp and then the last ODST uses a Warthog to ramp off of it while the two Falcons do zigzag in front of it as a distraction and then the ODST jumps out the Warthog and no scopes ten grunts and then shoots the rockets at that one part and then backflips over it and hijacks one Falcon and theeenn.. Yeah :)

I'd get my ODSTs to call Carter and get him to do what he did in Reach.

He's very suicidal, you know?

This is what I would do to.

Have one of the falcons go pick up Chuck Norris and ask him to round house kick it.

On a related note, ******'s mom has really nice boobs, and it doesn't take much booze or encouragement to get her to let the puppies out of the pen...if you know what I mean...

I'd drop the ODSTs on its laser. I win.

  • 12.15.2010 6:18 PM PDT

Fight to the end, and give it your all.

First, I would have one Falcon and Warthog, filled with Marines, distract the Scarab and provide support for those boarding the Scarab. Then I would have the other Falcon, full of ODST'S board the Scarab equipped with Rocket's and standard gear. Meanwhile, I would have the sniper in a location where he could provide support for the ODST'S boarding the Scarab. As for the remaining Marines and ODST'S I would attempt to have a Falcon continually drop them off on the Scarab, or let them be a distraction. Whichever one that's more efficient.

  • 12.15.2010 6:19 PM PDT

Tell the marines to get in Falcon and shoot off the back end and destroy it. Problem solved.

  • 12.15.2010 6:37 PM PDT

I'd have the falcons distract the falcon along with the marines. I'd arm the ODST's with the five rockets and the snipers. I'd take the hog with 2 other ODST's and the rest would storm on foot.. I'd board and destroy it.

Get a bigger Scarab

In time, the tru7h will be revealed.

If it was on reach or earth, I would just use one of the orbital Super MAC cannons and blow the thing to hell.

To be honest, I don't think the UNSC could win that battle. The Anti-Aircraft Gun would quickly deal with the Falcons, while the Warthog and the Marines wouldn't last long. They simply don't have the heavy weapons required to, at least, damage the legs to the point where the Scarab has to repair itself.

I would get all the marines I could fit into the warthog (troop hog?) and drive ONTO the deck of the Scarab and kill everything on board and shoot out the Core of it and get back into the wart hog drive off with the marines and signal the falcons to pick me and my marines up for refreshments

  • 12.16.2010 6:03 PM PDT

About me: I am a vicious wolf of a man.

But really am sweet at heart. =)

I would have one ODST pilot each Falcon and begin harrassing fire on the Scarab while attempting to take out the riders and side gunners.

I would slowly have them lure the Scarab to a ride where I would have my ODSTs with rockets attempt to take out a leg, where I would then drive by with the Warthog to distract it, then I would have the passengers of the Falcon land on it, I would climb one of the legs, and once the ODST's on the ridge ran out of rockets they would also board it. We would destroy the core and run for safety.

  • 12.16.2010 6:06 PM PDT

Let's all just be happy! Doesn't that sound like fun?

Yay!

Have the ODST Helljump onto it from Orbit. BOOM. If that doesn't get it right away, they just hop out, throw a grenade into the 'Core' and jump off.

SRs fire anti-material rounds.

So use the Rockets on the rear Anti-Air Gun.

Get 1 Falcon from the rear to carry the sniper and place 1 or more well place shots into the power core. Boom goes the walker!

I would drop five ODSTs off via zip-line to the Scarab, two with rockets, and have two snipe for the ground, killing the Brute's and such, the 20 Marines lifted on via Falcon and have two stay on for gunners/pilot to cripple the main engine and then have one ODST load up into the Falcon and shoot four rockets down into its engine, killing it. Boom. Done.

All of them then pulling out and riding away in Falcons in 'Hog.
