Why is it even in the game?
Brb Plasma Pistol overload = Insta board
Brb Sprinting means you have no chance of escaping a boarder.
Brb Plasma grenades at spawn mean 4-5 grenades land on you every second.
Please just take it out.
Inb4 “bad with scorpion”.
The Scorpian has been in every Halo?
So…
Whats your point?
It’s not a feasible vehicle to use.
The Scorpion is most definitely a nicely balanced vehicle. You can’t charge in and get a million kills with it anymore, but it can be highly effective when you use it properly. Basically, stay back, have some protection, and you’ll be good to go.
You can trade at least 2 for 1 every time if you use the scorpion (if your good scorpion is a guaranteed killing spree and often a frenzy) your team just has to control the area where it spawns when it comes up. If your just running to the tank when it spawns and hopping in it with out killing people around it of course you will be plasma pistoled and stuck/boarded but if you push with your team and control the tank spawn you can get the tank back into an open area where it dominates. Then you have an unlimited ammo rocket launcher that shoots super fast projectiles and forces the other team to stay inside and guarantees map control. A good tank driver will also ensure that the other team will have no vehicles because tank 1 shots every vehicle on the map. Just don’t drive around corners and expect not to get Plasma pistoled and boarded keep the tank at long range where it dominates.

But the plasma pistol overload + sprint has not.

Hm…not feasible to use?
Lets see…
2 maybe 3 Killing Frenzys so far
4 Overkills, some almost Killtaculars. Some Triple Kills too.
Right.

Exactly I see the pp being a secondary now promote team work no more can gauss and tanks be safe one man killing machines.
I’m all for vehicle redesigns. A faster and smaller Scorpion would be a good counter to the sprint, and plasma pistol load out for lone wolf drivers in these tiny circular maps…or a larger maps with room to maneuver would negate all the new changes when it comes to the current Scorpion and it’s life expectancy just as well.
Honestly if backed by a team the Scorpion balances out in Halo 4, but if you’re going out solo then expect bad things to happen.

It was fine in Reach.
But oh I forgot in Reach, you could still shoot the Cannon.
It’s called, watch your radar.
The scorpion is not irrelevant. I used it to get a Killtrocity on Exile on Big Team Slayer. I was very shortly blown up, but that’s besides the point. It could use some tweaks, sure, but it is far from useless.
Last time I was in a Scorpion, the only reason I died was because my escort was team-shot, and someone boarded my back when I wasn’t looking. Every time I shot, I got at least a double kill (no Yoinking!).
QQ is all this is.
I survived a whole round in Exile with Scorpion. It’s a nice balanced vehicle.
The trick is to stay close to your team mates, if someone plasma charges you, your teammates will save you.
I got like 25 kills with Scorpion on Exile without dying. It was really nice.
The scorpion is fine.
Will you single handidly win the match for your team, and ruin any efforts at a balanced game? No, not other than a few rare occasions.
Will you get kills in the Tank, and go somewhat positive in it? Yes. Even if you get a double kill then die, you’ve still netted 1 kill for your team.
The Warthog is often not worth using, but the Tank is always worth grabbing, even for a minute long suicide run.

The Scorpion is currently on precisely ONE map, Exile, which is an incredibly cramped and claustrophobic environment for a tank. If Scorpions spawned on Ragnarok nobody would be complaining that they were underpowered.
We can only hope that future DLC provides us with some maps big enough to fight decent heavy vehicles battles on.

No, what they need is more smaller maps. Most of the maps are freakin huge already.
It needs to be in a differnt map. Its got a bad spawn location. Id rather see it in a differnt map because i miss using it and i tend to leave it alone after its been taken out the first time
