So if the tank was completely bulletproof like it is in real life then you wouldn't have a problem with it?

couldn't you know, just take out the scorpian with the wraith?
also, i do believe that the hog, gauss or chaingun, is much faster than the tank, and the weapons on them can wreak havoc.

Plus, teamwork is always helpful in taking out a large vehicle such as a tank

Listen, the dudes at Bungie have fine-tuned H2's multiplayer to work out balance issues as best they can, and I think that they will have a reasonable answer to this solution. The Scorpion isn't that bad.

I dont technically agree with a tank in general being an UNSTOPPABLE KILLING MACHINE.
If it were the US army would have more M1A2s than they have already(M1A2=tank).the tank pretty much is over powered. besides blood gulch was a lot more fun than coagulation

What does Blood Gulch and Coagulation have to do with the Scorpion Tank?

We should keep it the way it is.

Halo 2's devastatingly dangerous vehicles have a drawback, they can be blown up by rockets. Simple as that.

And it's your connection that's slower than turtle sex.

In........................................................Out .

Talk about dangerous, I was playing my inexperienced friend on Halo 2 today, and he got into the tank and every time i got near, he blasted me with point blank range, I could barely get a banshee out of a base when he was near, I could only zip by him in a ghost and I had to maneuver very carefully.

Master Kim, you definitely do have a point in that Bungie does an amazing job of keeping the game balanced, AND that it seems people from New Mombasa are satisfied, but I just wonder how because it seems so undefeatable unless you can get to a rocket, which may be very difficult based on the Scorpion's position.

Unfortunately that's something that Bungie can't really fix, If either the HPC or H2 scorps get near a rocket spawn, the it's going to be really difficult to get said rocket.

I've always hated the HPC tank, because a pistol can take it out. I mean C'MON! Tank are supposed to be the armoured cavalry of the modern world, and they get taken down by a little weinergun? (lol, that'd be a cool weapon, a gun that looks like a hot dog)

I've only played a little of H2 campaign, but the scorpion seems alright. I'd trade a little speed for some better protection. Besides, it's more realistic if a tank can only be taken down by heavy weapons and other vehicles.

Bungie.net, [Carlos Mencia]dee dee dee[/Carlos Mencia].

The thing with the Halo series is that no matter how good you are, there's still a large chance you're going to be taken out by someone less experienced than yourself.

Halo 2 will be different from H2PC as H2PC will have no auto-aim, and therefore, sniping and such will actually take skill. None of that sweep-sniping nonsense, where you can get headshots without the bullet actually touching someone's head, and hopefully they'll fix all that BXB, BXR, RRX crap, because doing stuff like that would be way too easy with a mouse and keyboard.

Don't worry about it, let's just see how it works out on the PC. Bungie will surely do something about it if it's unbalanced because if they don't we're going to hop in warthogs and burn Bungie's headquarters down with flamethrowers and then sweep its dust away with leafblowers.

H2PC is going to rule. And I'm going to rule on H2PC. :P

MasterKim, from the way people put it, it seems that the tank had very little weak points.
Bungie didn't made damage only comestic, like with the hog, you damage its wheels, it movement slows and becomes harder to use. However it seems with the tank, you have to kill the driver to stop the tank, MasterKim is this true.

Also, the Halo one tank is really very powerful and can easily get a triple kill, however you have to know when and when not to use it, like all tanks, it was powerful, however it required skill to use. You had to know, when to pop out to fire it's cannon and when to go back to take cover or when to move up with your team, it wasn't really made for assults or attacking, just defending. This was vital as if you were caught out in the open such as on BG, it would mean a sure death by the pistol, and it would be very hard to kill them since they would be behind a hill and you had to shoot them in the face to get a kill. And the tanks cannon never shoots 100 perceent straight, it would tilt to the side of the rectile. The Halo one tank was more of a artillery weapon/defensive weapon, that took skill to use.

cant wait to jack your hog or shee and then crush/run over you with it :)

I'm reading a lot of misconceptions about vehicle jacking.

When you jack a hog you'll jump on the vehicle and pull either the driver, passenger or gunner out (depending on where you're latched on) then you'll jump off everytime not get into his seat. What will usually happen when you jack someone is a one on one shootout with the player you jacked or someone gets into the vehicle and drives off while taking damage during the process. As for run overs you can easily jump clear over the hog if you are paying attention.

The Banshee jack on the other hand lets you pull the pilot out and take control immediately but getting a run over is not going to be easy. If you try ramming players on the ground like some players do in Halo PC you will likely lose the speed you need to splatter them plus it leaves you vulnerable to being jacked. The best way to deal with the player you just jacked is to pepper them with the plasma cannons from a distance.

could one of u explain to me wat BXB, BXR, and RRX mean, pls.
BXB is a quick double melee. B to melee, X to cancel the rest of the animation and B to melee again.

BXR is used primarily with a full clip on a battle rifle. B to melee, X to cancel the animation, R to fire a burst. If it's done right it looks like an instant kill. The melee and shot is delivered almost at the same time. This button combo relies a lot on the lunge to automatically center your crosshair on their face.

RRX is the double shot. You'll fire two very fast bursts from the battle rifle. It requires precision timing though.

Where do you see the info on Halo 2 coming out on PC? I must know! PLease!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay dude you've lost all your credibility and all your views are null and void.

I'm going to have to go with Fatso here. When you jack someone in the hog, you throw them out of the vehicle, and jump off the vehicle. For single-piloted vehicles, you take the driver out, and get in with one press of the X button.

Thanks for Fatso for clearing anybody who didn't know what a BXR was. Hopefully they fix that in H2PC.
