What kind of improvements/ changes would you like to see in H2 on the Scorpion tank?

I'd like to see the turret and driver positions seperated, so that like the warthog, it takes two people to operate it.

I'd like the machine gun to be more accurate.

I'd like the main gn to be fired by the driver, the machine gun to be piloted by a passenger, and have 2 passengers on either side that are protected by sheild/ cover things. They should be able to fire their guns from 360 degrees.

Maybe it would be cool if the two people inside driving and working the turret were protected, but then a third guy was on top, half exposed to danger and working a 50 cal machine gun.

I would like it if you could flip the tank (standing up) so that you have a shield :P

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

I think they have said they want to make it more realistic for experienced players by being able to point the turret backwards as you drive forward.

No! How about this; like you hit a button and the tank transforms into a giant fighting robot with three legs! Yeah that would be sweet! And we will name the robot, BIG ROBOT. Awesome idea! I'm so smart!

like a transformer, lol.

Yeah the turret really needs to point backwards, even if they do nothing else to it.

That idea for three people takes up too much room. Maybe have one person in the seat like now, and the other siting right beside him and sit beside him, maning the 50-Cal. If nothing else I do hope we have somekind of protection while sitting on the side. But that will kind of make us a little too unbeatable.

Think you guys will be throwing yourself infront of rockets and fuel rod blasts to save allied tanks?

You should have the driver who pilots it the normal way (or however they want to make it) then a second person could get in and the driver could drive and the second person could use the turret.

I just hope the Scorpion makes more than 1 apperance in Halo 2!!!
But a nice upgrade could be a zoom-in function for the main cannon.

That would be a sight if like in a level there was a whole battalion of tanks. A zoom in feature would be awesome too. Really I think it is a must now that you mention it

hmm.. I think it should have a siege mode where it stops moving (like in starcraft) and uses larger bullets or whatever it uses, and a more powerful cannon.

I would like to see them fix the vehicles so if people shoot the turret it won't hurt you. I think it is pretty unrealistic the way it is in HALO 1. In order to kill the driver you should have to actually shoot him, but I guess rockets and 'nades would be an exception...and the fuel rod cannon. Wich makes me 'happy' because the fuel rod and (possibly) the flamethrower will be in HALO 2. Ooorah.

And just to say, coaxial machine guns are really used for marking your target. In real life at least, since tanks these days cannot turn their turrets like you can in HALO, speedwise. But it isn't accurate in HALO so you can use it for a close range weapon. I like your idea of having a seperate machine gunner, btw. I think it would not only be effective but look cool...and provide sniper targets *Pets his HALO sniper rifle* :P.

I don't know about that starcraft thing though. That would only be good for artillery that lobs stuff, like that Covie plasma gun in the demo from E3 2001...2002? I don't remember...

I don't like the idea of not enabling people to ride on the tread fenders though. (I'm a lazy person wich, unless you arn't human, most of you guys are, so it is pretty convenient to be able to hitch a ride to the battle or for retreating, wich I rarely do seeing as after I die I respawn.) *Wonders what life would be like if you could respawn when you die.*

Hmm...well, I think bungie knows what they are working on, so I think things will turn out allright. I mean, hell! Never in a million years could I do all of that computer program...code...number stuff.

And believe it or not, but HALO is the only video game series I play...at least now. (I lost interest in most video games since I played them to death when I was younger.)

Anyway, a T-storm is coming and my computer has no surge protector or whatever, so talk to you guys later.

Yeah people inside the tank should be prootected from gunfire and only be killed if the vehicle is destroyed. It sounds like there will be this feature from what i read in the OXM article.

Say though that there is a guy sticking out of the top manning a machine gun, perhaps he is sticking out of a hatch (door). It would be cool if the other team could jump on top and toss a grenade of fire their gun inside the tank to kill the occupants. It would nee to be hard to do but maybne it would be the tank's achillis heel so to speak.

As you alos said, the riding on the treads sucked. In multplayer who ever wanted to ride on the treads. It was an OK feature if you could fill the tank treads with four marines, but multiplayer persons are much more effective off the treads. Anyways i don't know what they should do with this but its an interesting thing to think about as far as changes or improvements.

that would be great if you could fire the turret whilst strafing, it would make the tank so good to use. a zoom would be great, a different secondary weapon would be great, a sniper gun would be good but not for close range defense, the cannon of the warthog would do nicely, pointing forward on the main turret.

its got to be real real tough though. cos if its anything like the wraith then its gonna suck, after all a tank cant be taken out by a shotgun can it???! it may be satisfying but machine guns and even the lesser plasma weapons should have real little effect on it or the wraith...

oh yeah! if its possible. when you get a sniper marine on your team he should climb onto the main turret, not the side pods, it was so annoying when he climbed onto the right hand side when i needed him on the left.. so from the top of the main turret he could fire both sides. but maybe thats too much power...

I think a sniper gun on the turret is pushing past the realism bar.

How about as a secondary weapon the tank fires a smoke grenade. Real tanks use these.

To be honest, i don't think anyone should be able to ride on the tank.
