…that the scorpion always ends up on top in. How do you think the wraith will fair against the scorpion in Halo 4? I hope it is more difficult to destroy than it was in Reach where it took literally three shots from the scorpion to destroy it. I also have high hopes that its plasma mortars do more damage, and move a bit faster than they did in Reach so that is can be feared once more.
Did anyone have any hands on time with the wraith at any of the events? If so, how was it?
Scorpion FTW. I miss the Scorpion in Reach. I know it’s in some matches but I particularly miss it in Hemorrhage. I hope we see more of her in Halo 4.

It was terribly difficult to take down on that map with the lack of rockets or a spartan laser.
Unless the wraith fires direct shots and not mortars (which we know it still does) I’m sure the Scorpion will still win.
Scorpion. Nuff’ said
it wont matter when i stomp on them with the mantis >:) (insert maniacal laugh here)
I think an interesting balance would be something like this:
Scorpion Shells vs Wraith:
3 hits to the front, OR 1 hit to the back to kill. (1 hit to the Cannon to disarm)
Wraith Mortars vs Scorpion:
2 hits to anywhere to kill. (1 hit to the Cannon to disarm)
Scorpion is a bigger threat than a Wraith… but the Wraith in the right hands is an absolute menace and takes much more skill to use. Scorpion vs Wraith is a match that was always designed around the Campaign so its no surprise that the Scorpion massively outmatches the Wraith, it would be nice to get a new tank that could take on a Scorpion on a more even setting.
Remember on H2 Headlong with the sniper duel between the Sniper and the Beam Rifle? I’d like to see that same equivalent but with UNSC and Covie tanks.

And so they should have added Rockets and Spartan Lasers to the map.
Compare Scorpion to Wraith is like compare COD and Halo,are so different
Yeah,both are tanks BUT one shots linear bombs,and the other one shots in area to kill everyone wich is in one objective,base,flag,croner,hill
Obviously the scorpion has more firepower,but the wraith has more potential,specially in objective matches
scorpion because of its ease of use sadly.

A new tank would be very interesting!
Scorpion, hands down.

I guess I really shouldn’t see the wraith as a tank, but more of a mobile artillery cannon. The shame is that it takes some impressive aim to hit what you want, if anything at all, from the other side of a hill.
I wish the Wraith either had more armor or superior firepower. The scorpion should be a accurate direct fire with a lower damage(3 shot armored kill) compared to the more difficult to use but more powerful wraith shot(2 shot armor kill)
The Wraith is a more defensive tank IMO. Maybe we could get a limited bird’s eye view setting to lob longshots.

Exactly,thats waht i said in my last comment,the scorpion is more a offensive tank and the wraith is more like a objective tank,thats why the mortar in area instead of the bomb
I always found with the wraith, that. If i was on flat ground and needed to fire a straight shot. If i hit boost and shoot at the same time, with the fire ark pointed as far down as possible. The wraith would fire a straight shot, though slower than the scorp. But straight enough to hit a target short range in a straight line.
If that makes sense.
Note: Sometimes, if the game is laggy enough this method can result in the wraith shooting itself. If the lag messes with the boost/shot time. Which happens more often than i like.
I think it’s fine the way it is. It’s a wraith it kills people in one shot, why make it more powerful? So what if the tank can kill it, something has to be able to counter it.
