Since you can't drive the wraith, I would have to say the Scorpion. Of course, the Scorpion is probably better anyway since it fires it's shells straight, not in a humungous arc.

if youve ever driven the wraith (i have) you know that it cant go up hill for crap, it is impossible to aim, it is slow as hell, it makes a huge noise. it is the most annoying thing to drive.

on pc its alot easier. just download a hack or do tha hacking youself. (although im not one for hacking.) xbox is pretty easy too. just turn on bumping or (lazy way coming up) get an action replay save with you as an elite or in a wraith. (aka bumped an elite and got in a wraith)
edit: oh yeah, and the rectile is that of a rocket launcher. and it does turn red.

See, in what we'd call 'real life'. you could not compare the two, due to one being a all-round support vehicle and one being an artillery vehicle. Wraith is to support the battle from afar, while the Scorpion is to be right next to the marines fighting.

So of course the scorpion's gonna be better in a way. On a side note, the wraiths are hella annoying on legendary.

i know what you mean. youre having a nice battle, and then whooshshshshshsh boom. our dead. the only notice of your killer is the blue residew of the energy charge that gust got planted into your ass. but in halo 2 (when they are actualy meant to be driven by human players) they may be a fun and effective vehical. i mean who saw that coming! (by "that" i mean needler)

I agree with Simen. Why have firepower if it don't move worth a crap?

I'd say the Wraith, since purple is just too sexy. ;-)

Yes you can drive the wraith tank in Halo 2. Also, the wraiths are more of a suppresive fire/support vehicle. The wraith is nice to drive if there are lots of infantry to draw fire, or have a ghost of banshee or shade support.

Of which I might add, could be changed by November 9th, as all of Halo 2. :-)

I know what you mean. In 2 betrayals once, i was flying the banshee away from a wraith. The tank fired, and since i heard the sound of it i started doing some evacive manuvers. Boy did they help me. I swerve to the left, the plasma was prob 3cm to the right. I swerve to the right the ball is 1 cm away. i finally just did a u-turn in front of the plasma and later got killed by a grunt.
The same grunt from my sig.

The scorpion is a great all-rounder. You can use the cannon on far away targets and the MG on close targets. The wraith on the other hand, can only shoot at far targets, and anything close it can't hit, so it tries to move furter away, so you can literally chase it away!!

I'd say the Wraith LOOKS cooler because its a great shade of purple and the energy it fires looks cool. BUT FIREPOWER wise it SEEMS quite crap (as I've never driven one). It reloads slow, it seems to move quite slow (both motion and turning). As for the weapon, its very powerful and looks mint. BUT the main problem is the giant arc it fires in. You can literally dodge it. You can be fired at from quite short range but as 'The Hunter' says you can chase it away.

I would say that the Scorpion tank is the more practical tank. As its rocket reload rate is quite good (considering the firepower of each shell). The speed of the shell is immense (which means you can't dodge it) and the rocket itsself is very good at taking out enemies. The mounted machine gun is very useful to take out close foes.

I also like the ability where troops can sit on the side.

I don't think you can call the Wraith a tank, its more like a mobile artillery unit (because of its arc fire and mobility problems) than a armored mobile unit (tank)

the wraith is cooler cos on Halo 1 the elites often strafe it to avoid your incoming rockets. imagine being able to do that when it will be drivable in halo 2. homing rockets, no probs. like a ghost but cooler, hope they give the wraith an added boost....

Scorpian because a direct hit from a scorpian will kill you, unlike the wraith tank
