okay so heres the battle situation. There is 2 scarabs. There invading the UNSC base. The UNSC send out a squad of hornets. There are exactly 3 hornets with 1 turret on each hornet. Then the scarab sends in 4 squads of brutes and 1 phantom comes in to back the covenent up. So now the UNSC gets mad. They send out all the troops the have which is 2 squads of spartans and 1 guy in it manning a flamethrower and seargent johnson comes out to fight too. Then the covenent get even more mad. They send out 3 vampires (from halo wars) and 7 squads of grunts. Who would win?

okay sorry i changed the situation. Its different now.

Two whole squads of Spartans? Damn... One Spartan can take out an army if he's tricky enough... The UNSC wins with the Hornets against all of that already. Sending in Spartans is just... Overkill.

Well what would normally happen would be the hornets crumble and burn, but if we're in game, then I say the hornets because those things can practically kill planets.

  • 12.17.2010 5:24 PM PDT

alright sorry i changed it again! but now it will be more interesting

  • 12.17.2010 5:30 PM PDT

OP, I think you're overestimating the power of a Scarab.. A Spartan can take out one at ease, both with or without help from Marines. If he had no rockets to cripple the Scarab, then he would simply have the Hornet drop him down on it, take out the crew and destroy the core. Of course though, if these hornets aren't moving at all and just hovering in the air they would be murdered by the AA-gun.

The Hornets alone could wipe out the Covies you posted. But which kind of Scarab are we talking about? Halo 2 or V.2 Variant?

Hornets are extremely quick, making them difficult targets. If they're attacking a base, perimeter defenses would take out the infantry, and possible SAM sites would destroy the Phantom, allowing Johnson, the Spartans, and the Hornets to take care of the Scarab and Vampires.

  • 12.17.2010 5:44 PM PDT

"You get what you put into it."

When Legendary is too mainstream, you have Heroic. When you're the leader of the church of MLGeezus, have Epic in your username, and can't write 'About Me's' to save your life, what do you get?

This guy. And now, an side note: Most things I post contain lethal doses of sarcasm, so be warned, and try not to take me seriously.

Finally, a message to Bungie trolls everywhere.

Add more Moa and Covenant, then come back to me. Seriously, two Spartan teams-

I find the idea of DBZ-style "holding-back" in a war situation, even in a sci-fi universe, to be kinda lame, and, TBH, silly. Sure it works in some anime's to build suspense and "coolness" of a character, but in a strategical military battle, or really anywhere outside of anime, it's ridiculous. "Get mad?"

I can just see it now...

"One last fight, demon. You will die and we shall reopen the silver path."

"Die?" "Didn't you know?"
"The secret final Spartan attack! I will show you my true power! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"





Completely not the point, I know. But these "what-if" scenarios are so over done and completely uninteresting that we are all better off discussing something else, no?

I could. I eat Phantoms for breakfast, and the Vampires are easy as long as I have a distance between me and them.

Halo V2


Oh is they're the Halo 3/ODST versions then, yes. They are MUCH easier than the Halo 2 versions.

I am the last of the primes.

hornets, have you ever played halo wars???

  • 12.18.2010 11:07 AM PDT

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

He's talking neutered Avalanche Hornets.

If the pilots absolutely had to stay in their Hornets, the Scarabs easily.
