Having a scarab boss in Warzone?

I would really like to see a scarab make a return to halo, in the Warzone mode we have. Like instead of 3 legendary bosses worth 150 each. How about instead a scarab from H3 or reach drops from the sky. Or a super scarab from H2 crawls of the mountain. And have them be really really hard to take down with the AI crew constantly respawning. And having the scarab be worth 450 points. And have it spawn at like the 15 minute mark to help losing teams pull through. Or at the beginning to give teams an earlier lead. Or to make it like the other legendary bosses, make each leg 25 and the core 50 that way it’s still worth 150 points I totally want this and think it would be an awesome addition to Warzone. Also I see people talking about flood or pve Warzone. Please do not get off topic this thread is for adding a scarab to the game. If you want to talk about pve Warzone wich I want to. I have a separate thread for it called. Official pve Warzone poll, if you want to talk about it there you go. But this thread is for the scarab

I don’t think that would be good the way your saying that.
Why: Actually, having one boss at 450 could easily unbalance the whole game as the other wouldn’t have any chance left to comeback. With 3 different bosses, each team as at least 3 chances to take advantage or comeback in the game.

Otherwise, I would really like to see a scarab as a boss in a new map or maybe a Kraken that would be in a big hole in the middle of the map with timed “bridges” to get on it. The only problem about scarab is how easy it would be for a banshee or a Phaeton to kill it as the generator is in the back. But yeah, totaly want this boss. Could be funny.

Maybe instead of having the whole thing worth 450 points, have each leg worth x amount and the core worth a bigger x amount?

Maybe not 450 points but a scarab would be a worthy fight instead of fighting lame boss’s like an AI in a ghost that I can’t hijack. When I heard of Warzone this is what I was expecting but instead we get semi-medium maps with no big engagements. The current boss’s feel like they belong in a smaller team based version of Warzone in slightly less campy maps.

i would play warzone more if this were the case… right now warzone sucks as much as the rest of multiplayer.

Hell I’d like to see an entire covenant themed map, like on high charity or the unyielding hierophant. I’d love to see a scarab drop down from the sky. I’d also like to see a flood themed map and a brute themed map (Imagine having the flood juggernaut be a boss, or the Brute Chieftain in a Chopper)

Certainly would be better than seeing endless forge maps but doubt it will happen.

I think we would need bigger maps if that is the case.

Get the big maps out :smiley: !

two entire wave of Jiralhanae(legendary versions) with chieftains… but as to the scarab, legs being 50 pts each with the core being 200.

not going to happen, there arent models in the game for these characters. it would take a content (build) update to implement, and it would take months to develop

Ok guys, we found a new game variant for Warzone: “Scarab Warzone”. I think the name says it all. Destroy the scarab(s).

Not a bad idea, with some tweaking as having a boss be worth that many points would make killing it a near guaranteed victory. I don’t see it happening though. People keep requesting totally new enemies and vehicles, we want Flood and Brutes and Buggers and Scarabs and Choppers and Hornets and so on. Fulfilling all of these requests strikes me as an unlikely priority for 343 given the amount of work that would be involved in doing any of those things well. I’m not saying it would be impossible for us to see one or more of those projects, especially if 343 had been planning on it all along, just that it is unlikely that 343 is going to devote itself to producing this kind of entirely new content given the amount of new game modes and tweaks to the multiplayer that would be possible with the content already in the game.

I like the idea of having to fight a scarab in Warzone. It would add for a new challenge. Though, it would have to be crewed by some very powerful NPC’s as taking down a scarab with a team in Warzone would be pretty simple. Just have your team pull out their banshee ultras, bomb the scarab till it went down then board it with power weapons, kill the crew, blow up the core, destroy the scarab. Or, eliminate the option to board the scarab all together and make the only way to destroy it to be unload massive amounts of firepower onto it.

I would love a Scarab fight, but sadly I don’t think it’ll be possible until some big update.

this makes me think of another thing that could be done… A siege warzone map, with drivable scarabs and other huge vehicles.

It will be great!!!

this would be a good idea but extremely unbalanced

How about fight the Gravemind at the end of a flood Warzone match?

Yes please… If it does return it should also be in a PvE warzone gametype. What sucks is that in Halo Reach we didn’t get to fight it. In firefight it would have been awesome.
