Scorpion is slower but pwns anything that decides to come near it.

Worthogs go faster but you can expect to hang on that long against a Wraith as it's gun isn't that effective against heavy artility....

I'd go with scorpion :-D are you playing Assualt on the Control room?

what me and my friend do is we each get a vehicle the person gets in the warthog first so they get a gunner it murders until the tanker misfires and kills the warthog.

Great fun on co-op. One player with a sniper rides the tank treads (or gets to an observation point) and "calls fire" for the player driving the tank.

My wife and I had hours of fun with one of us playing spotter and the other firing the cannon.

"up one click, right two... wait for my call to fire.... ready.... ready.... fire!"

BOOOM! ------- *poof goes the hunter*

Sounds like someones looking too deep into the game... lol.

Well, there are plenty of ups and downs to both.

Scorpion
Pros
LOTS of firepower
Two weapons
Driver controls all
Four passengers with weapons
Heavy artillery, easy to kill vehicles

Cons
Slow
Hard to maneuver
Not as fun
Sometimes hard to aim
Passengers always get out when you do
Harder to kill infantry

Warthog
Pros
Fast
Easier to maneuver
WAY fun!
Easier to kill infantry

Cons
Only two passengers
Driver only drives, no weapon control
Skids on ice
Fishtails
Easy to tumble
Hard to kill vehicles

So, it's really a matter of preference. I go with both. One time Scorpion, the other time, Warthog. But most of the time I just do the level on foot.

I take the wharthog. One of my best Halo moments was using a shade turret as a ramp and launching the 'hog clear over the wraith and ghosts below. I did a triple barrel roll before skidding across the ice to better ground. If you have the tank and you're playing by yourself you can use johnson as a spotter (AotCR only). When he fires his sniper rifle, wtch where the smoke trail leads and fire in that direction.

It would be easier if you took Johnson with the SNIPER RIFLE in the side seat.Johnson takes out infantrys while gunner takes out vehicles. Really fun. =)

I prefer the tank. Go on a ridge, take out everything, you can see and hit everything around you......I made some kindergarten art!

Pfft.... you vehicle whores. A real man goes on foot!

And then b@!*ches when a Wraith takes him out, but that's beside the point.

  • 12.22.2006 3:05 AM PDT

Hog is much more fun.

Yes. I did that a few times. It's too annoying.

The warthog is more fun. The only thing is I have to wait my 3rd marine to catch up( If I have any )

Near the end of Aotcr,how do you kill your enemies at the land bridge? Me, I fly the banshee up to the pillar near the control room and snipe my enemies.

If I have more than 2 marines,will it be effective if I use the hog? And how to prevent my marine freeze when I go through a loading zone?( By using a warthog or walk on foot )

Is it cruel for me to leave my marine behind?
