I think that in halo 2 there should be stuff like barricades on the treads, so that marines will have some protection while riding it. You should also be able to use that grenade launcher on the turret. That would be SO nice for attacking covies behind a ridge, or a hill.

well i would like to see something like smoke grenade launchers or perhaps lock on features but i like the tank as it is. and it even says in the manual of halo 1 the tank was never ment to be ridden on it's only to be ridden on when the advantages out weight the disadvantages

I think the Scorpion Tank is cool as it is, but it would be cool to maybe have a SCOPE on the tank. THAT WOULD BE AWSOME!! CU'Z YOU COULD SNIPE OUT BANSHEES AN OTHER COVIE VEHICLES!

Why bother modifing it. Just make a new vehicle for that new purpose

SB-117

I think they should replace the huge cannon with the rocket launcher (off the warthog) that was in the e3 trailer. The cannon it has now is too fast and powerful. Also, the chaingun should be dropped because its crap and just does nothing (it always misses). Of course to make up for these disadvantages they should make it faster or something or shields on the sides like you said.

Out of interest, although a bit off topic, does anyone else feel its a shame the covenant have an APC like vehicle while the humans only have a modded Warthog, which can hardly be called armoured (from what Bungie have said).

The tank is solid, vehicles require weaknesses to balance the game, the grenade launcher ideas and scope are cool but would give you too much of an advantage. More of a challenge to get out of your harbinger of death machine and actually do some real killin'.

I don't think so. The Creep looks very open to me, it's occupants very vulnerable. Plus the Warthog seems to be able to drive circles around it.

I'm happy with the Warthog variant as opposed to a slower APC.

Yeah but at least the covenant vehicle has a weapon, the people carrier warthog is just a 'leg it' vehicle, only offensive capability is to squash and there is no defensive capability.

Dude, that thing is a smoke grenade launcher. Every tank has them on their turrets. But it would be kind of usefull if you get ambushed.

The Scorpian tank is fine the way it is now. It has its weaknesses but they have to be there so its not TOO good. The only thing i dont like is the chain gun. Its weak and has horrible accuracy. IF they replaced it with the grenade launcher that would be awesome!
