Should Scorpion tanks be returned to big team MM?
Yes. It’s almost impossible to get the Scorpion Destroyer commie right now since there’s only one Scorpion in a DLC map that hardly ever comes up.

Actually, in the last updated to the maps as part of their “External Weapon / Map Tuning” fiasco, they removed the scorpion completely - so the Scorpion Destroyer and Vehicle Destroyer Achievement is now impossible going forward.
With H5 available next year on XBox One, that’s likely the last tweak they will do to H4 on Xbox 360. So whatever H4 is now - that’s all there will be.

How can you say that it is going to be the last tweak when they’ve been updating matchmaking bi-weekly since the release and have promised to keep updating the game throughout the lifespan. Don’t spread false information.
I shall say yay to your query (like a sir).
Yes, in a heartbeat. Just don’t put it on Exile this time.
Should never have been removed!
OT: Yes
Yes, but on more open maps. The Scorpion and Exile just didn’t mix well.
I say yay, but there must be maps that it can function on, not plop it into Vortex or Settler and say “here, tank!”, must work gameplay wise.
Big yay. It should be on Ragnarok and Vortex. 343 needs to bring back the “heavy” gametype.

This guy has the right idea.
Ragnarok should have 2, one on each base, that would really mix up the gameplay, remove the mantises.
Meltdown wouldn’t work. Perfect for Mantises.
Vortex could work as there are long sight lines, banshee does not play well unless you were able to fly over the centre structure (which you cant currently!).
Exile never seemed to matter really, can be on that map, the mantis does not work on that map. banshee works well.
Settler could be interesting as could make the ridge really hard to take if the tank is shelling it, I’d like to see how the banshee does on this map.
Complex if it worked on Exile, it may work on here too. Banshee again could work well.
Longbow would struggle as its too hilly.
Yes it should.
But to do so we need more community maps that have large open battlefields that fit the tank more.
Not all this hilly small terrain that best suits the Mantis or Wraith.
Just look at Ragnarok. The mantis plays well due to its size being able to see over the hills and the wraith would work well due to its mobility and mortar fire.
Scorpion… not so much as you’d struggle getting it up onto the hill and then think how out of place it would actually look if you got it there.
Yes. Please.
> Yes, in a heartbeat. Just don’t put it on Exile this time.
Agreed. Two on Settler would be fun. insane grin
Heavies.
And a hilly map that allows for smooth vehicle operation without cross-mapping shots or getting constantly stuck on rocks, roadblocks, etc.
Dooo it!

Most of the maps are just terrible for vehicles, especially a wide vehicle like the Scorpion. We’ve spent all year bemoaning the map design that sticks rock spires and useless little bases all over the maps and makes a circular track out of most maps with no road race playlist. The only large open map is Ragnarork, and that was a Halo 3 remake.
The only hope for non-Ragnarok heavy vehicle mayhem are new maps and right now the only new maps are Forge maps. (I would love to see some of the wide open maps from Spartan Ops turned into multi-player maps, but considering how little post-game effort 343 has put into Halo 4, I doubt that would ever happen. (Oh, but you say 343 made three map packs. They didn’t; they hired out the map pack work before they released Halo 4 and then sat on the finished map packs until the pre-determined release dates.)).
But hey, don’t worry, I know where you can find huge maps with lots of Scorpion tanks, Halo 3 and Halo: Reach. Enjoy!
I’m probably the only one that thinks Avalanche was fun for BTB. You need a big map with LOTS of heavies.
of course they should come back im with you bro
