So since the update on Monday, I have noticed that there are absolutely no Scorpions on any of the maps. Maybe I am wrong, but they took the Scorpion out of BTB Exile and have not put a new one in any of the other maps. This is a bit frustrating as I would like to someday finish my vehicle commendations. Is there any news of a Scorpion being place in any other maps or future DLC?
Yeah it’s a bit of a problem for everyone. There isn’t a map that I know of that currently has a scorpion. This makes it impossible to get the commendation on destroyed scorpions.
There is one on one of the Castle DLC maps. But doesn’t Dominion have a Scorpion?
PS
I don’t play Dominion so I don’t know but I would think they do.

None of the original dominion maps have scorpions for dominion. All wraiths.
Unless you get that one Castle Map in Dominion, looks like there’s no more Scorpions in matchmaking :P.
Blarg.
I demand Scorpions or a Heavies gametype variant.

I echo this sentiment. Heavies made an appearance in the last two games; however, not until the very end of their respective games’ lifecycle. Hopefully heavies shows up before that happens. Good times
Don’t have any DLC so im not sure how a scorpion would work on those, but none of the maps currently out really feel like they’d be suitable for a scorpion.
Heavies made me quit like half my BTB games in Reach. I don’t want to see it ever again. BTB got playable with Slayer Pro. All they need to do is add objective (it makes no sense why objectives weren’t in the game at launch) and it will be back to being as it should be.
Yeah, I kind of thought surely there is still a scorpion on a non dlc map. What a stupid decision. I do have castle map pack, but it seems like everyone else in dominion does not. I don’t think I have ever gotten a chance to play dominion on outcast, which is one of the main reasons I bought the map pack in the first place…for a new dominion map!
I second the need for a return of the heavy gametype from Halo 3. Having the Banshee, Wraith, Scorpion, Snipers, and Gauss Hog all on one map was way too much fun.
Yeah, I have given up on this commendation!
They made a big mistake removing the scorpion. Every Halo, ODST included, had scorpions. For some reason Reach was the downfall of the scorpion. The maps were crap and too many bad players complained that they were getting killed by it. I think back to Halo 3. Valhalla, Avalanche, Sand Trap, and I think one other all had scorpions. The main problem with the later games was they threw balance out the window. Everything always came in pairs. I’m still trying to figure out why there was only 1 scorpion on exile. Both sides should have them and both sides should have gotten a gauss. Even Halo 4 maps are crap for heavies, except Ragnarock, that is Valhalla remade. 343 needs to give vehicle combat some attention.
I miss paradiso, boneyard, spire and hemmorage from reach (throw in MT lamb lamb to)
