Scorpion tank?BTB

I’m not one to hop on the complain train but this is straight up garbage. I haven’t used the scorpion tank ONCE since this game launched. For real!

What are you doing 343!?

Played a lot of BTB yesterday (around 20 games) and it was certainly being dropped in more often and sooner than before. The problem was it was getting destroyed almost instantly. Needs to have tougher armor I think.

No it needs to spawn at base accordingly. No one likes pelican vehicle drops. It needs to stop.

I don’t see why they didn’t just design bases like classic btb maps but with heavy vehicle pads in the back of the bases as normal, and have them be resupplied by pelicans for the cool factor

It’s beyond me. Not only does everyone fight over the paper tiger but the grapple ruins it even if you luckily get it by chance.

While airdrops keep the game random, the game really thrives more on static spawns for people to fight over.
It’s more intense and fun to have a power equipment/weapon/vehicle to fight over.

My experience is the oposite, they are so strong they just dominate so much they determine the outcome of the match.

Well, I think part of the problem is the combination of difficult map terrain together with the disruptor pistol, shock rifle, electro grenade emps that seem constant.

Maybe I just got unlucky both both times I get the tank it lasted less than a minute

But in older halos you had the Plasma Pistol doing the same :wink:
And ofcourse there you could board, but not in Infinite.

I think the probblem in Infinite is more that it drops in the middle and is announced, so you are imidiately surrounded by enemies that are ready for it. But when the tank isn’t that contested from the start, it will just dominate. You can’t pick up a skewer and destroy it with it, because it takes more skewershots then the skewer spawns with for example. If even a powerweapon that is supposed to be effective against vehicles like that can’t even kill it with its spawning ammo, it’s to strong if you ask me.

Actually, I think you’re right - this was the problem both times yesterday, not enough time to back out to a quieter position

Try a tank on Fiesta and you see how strong it is :wink:

In Fiesta there are tanks (both Wraith and Scorpion) spawning since also the vehicle spawns are random. And even though players spawn in with powerweapons like skewers and rockets, etc. you can easily get a strong spree before they can destroy the tank. Every time i got in one i had a minimum of 10 kills before it blew up. And i even had a match where i stayed in it the entire time and ended up 25-0. It’s just that OP.

Grappler and many shock weapons to disable it. What are you even on about.
