I think scarabs should be able to use, Maybe on very big maps like 5 times the size of contanment. Scarabs are very slow but powerful. Heres what I have in mind. One driver, one main gunnerand two AA gunners. It would not be indistructable because you could fire tank shots at the legs and they fall off. Now lighter wepons (rockets brute shots guase) can take the leg out too, just takes longer. What do you think?

Why not can you tell me why?

I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

make it indestructible, and people on the other team can try to land on it.

just because you can take it down with a tank doesnt mean anything.

you could use it to spawn kill and the other team could do nothing about it.

You would need heavier guns than your tanks and Brute Shots to take out a Scarab. Not even a continuous bombardment from Pelican Archers do a scratch on it.

I envision the idea for Campaign. Say, an city map on Earth while you take control of the gunner as it thunders through the streets, crawl over buildings and trampling smaller ones. Since the Scarab was such as success in its first field deployment(not really), the Covenant has revamped the Scarab design to be a more effective war machine. In addition to its 'eyeball' cannon, the topside deck also has a huge plasma siege cannon coupled with a small mortar launcher to bombard smaller ground targets as well as the existing rear anti-aircraft cannon. Only the deck main cannon(variable of destructible enviroments factored-it has an effect on the whole concept that it could either be awesome or useless) and its mortar can be controlled by you.

A thought...

have a custome game type where you try to take over the scarab. Almost like Tower of power but not quite.

No way, even when you play the game remember that part "Gunfire, Rockers, Tanks didnt do a damn thing" that female soldier says it, forget her name.

So NOOOOOOOOOO
