I feel like the only person to ever know of this bug as I have never seen anyone else do this. It was something I discovered as a kid back on the xbox 360 that can lock the core into place.
To sum things up, if you drive the scorpion over a dropped core and blow it up, The elites will not be able to pick up the core.
Same thing can be done with the Wraith.
I am sure many others have discovered this before and have abused it greatly.

That’s not a bug, that’s the way what is meant to work.
I mean, the core is under a huge object, how can’t even see it.
It is a valid strategy, being elite you can move it with a wraith or a concusion rifle.
I haven’t played around with this too much. But depending on how the Scorpion is placed, it cant even be moved with a wraith as I seen it happen in a legit game that we won because of this. I think a concusion rifle moves it but again, I haven’t tested it enough to see if it does.
However, if it does then it really is a game strategy. I just find it interesting that no one has ever made mention of this. Or at least, from what I found.
It is a strategy, in Reach you can’t pickup an item if you can’t see it, i did that scorpion thing since the day 1 on the Original halo reach game.
