Halo 2's Scarabs VS Halo 3's Scarabs
Which did you like to defeat more, and why?
I liked to defeat Halo 2's scarabs more because it was more of a challenge. Now it's just like "Oh. It's a scarab. No biggie."
-
I'm sure they are both two different kinds of scarabs, i dipped into my Halo book series and really, there is no scarab action with the lines, or general information. I've heard from one of my buds that the Halo 2 Scarab is known as a mining scarab, and the one fought in halo 3 is a battle scarab, regardless how cool the battle scarab is considering its a gigantic hunter, the mining scarab could kick its AS$. For example, Battle Scarab: kaboom - poof Mining Scarab: KABOOM - BIGGER KABOOM Enough said...
-
Halo 2, hands down.
-
The Halo 2 scarab was scripted. It never attacked you and at the end of the level Metropolis it gets stuck. You can leave, make a sandwhich, and it won't even have moved its legs. I really don't know why you had to destroy it in the first place couldn't you just leave it there? [Edited on 08.26.2009 8:33 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] xRNx Salsa I Was uh.. just thinking about the halo wars super scarab if anyone played that game and remembers it. the head was just .. crazy powerfull. If this had the halo wars super scarab vs Halo 2 scarab vs halo 3 scarab, I think the super scarab would win easily. but uh.. I agree more on the halo 3 scarab because I suppose you have more fun. such as dropping a teammate on with the hornet, destroying it and picking your teammate up before the huge explosion. that was fun.. wile the halo 2 scarab was more.. ha ha you cant hurt me untill i stop and you pwn all my crew,, I dno.. halo 3 scarab seemed more fun,[/quote]yea. but turn on the rainbow skull, and super scarab will send out love and confuse the scarabs

The halo 2 was hard on legendary. There were like 5 sword guys heading toward me. But in Halo 3, it was just get a rocket, give to a marine. Drive in goose till goes down. go inside. kill everyone. go to the back and destroy the core. jump out. drive away w/ marine. or get a tank. shoot the legs until down. go to the back. destroy the back. destroy the core. or get a hornet get inside. destroy the core. jump out. get on hornet. drive away

Halo 3's

I enjoy taking down the Halo 3 Scarabs more because you actually have options to take it down. Choosing the way to destroy your enemy is nice.
-
halo 3 because i like how you can damage each limb and really tear that thing apart before you decide to blow it up. and the explosions of the halo 3 scarabs just look awesome.
-
Halo 2's scarabs were just swamped with enemys which made it fun. halo 3's are to weak it seems like in my opinion
-
But... Halo 2's Scarab was basically just a moving environment, it wasn't an actual enemy. All it had were a bunch of elites on it, and it moving. In Halo 3 you have to dodge its fire, knock out it's legs, get on, then kill a bunch of brutes, get off, and see an epic explosion. In fact, the Halo 2 Scarab didn't even hurt you. You're basically asking "Were the enemies on the Halo 2 scarab harder than the ones on the Halo 3 Scarab??" [Edited on 08.26.2009 7:39 PM PDT]

Halo 3's Scarabs look nicer, but Halo 2's Scarabs can't be destroyed by a few rockets to the legs, plus a beat down of the most open area shielding possible.
-
Halo 2's are better. They were indestructible parts of the terrain. The ones in Halo 3 can be killed. [Edited on 08.26.2009 7:34 PM PDT]
-
But Halo 2 the Scarab was actually part of the level and ran on a certain path. Halo 3 was basically it's own creature/entity with a weakpoint...
-
Halo 2's scarab was ten times better. The Beam actually killed things, it was more difficult and fearsome, and you actually had to fight the crew off the scarb to get to the inside. Halo 3's has legs that fall apart WAYY too easily, the beam just rolls your car around (A massive beam of superheated focused plasma should do a little more than that..), and the crew on it was put in an awkward place so they fell off the Scarab really easily. And you didn't even need to fight them.. you could just pop into the back and take it out without anyone noticing. That's lame.
-
I like the Halo wars ones better they are ruthless when it comes to wiping out an army . I had to kill 13 scarabs once and losing 2,000 men before I could get close to the enemies base with me and my team mates. They just kept sending scarabs at us and we tried our best to kill them. but we all suffered great losses in units.

Halo 3 was the easiest halo game ever. I prefer infiltrating a halo 2 scarab with a sniper rifle and ricosheying the bullets everywhere.

Meh, we just didn't fight the Halo 3 Scarabs in their ideal environment. I'm sure the Scarabs would have been more threatening in a vast open field than all cramped up by a cliff side lake bed.
-
The Halo 3 Scarab is better. It's laser can now shoot to you and not only to scripted areas. The scarab moves freely and you have to take it down or go to a high place in order to board it. It is more fun to take down the scarab on Halo 3. In Halo 2 you just boarded it and killed everyone in it. And you always had to do it the same way every time you played the level.
-
I also remember how in Halo 2, if the Scarab shot you, you were pwn'd. In Halo 3, their firepower is a joke. I'm flying around in a Hornet, shooting some Banshees. Suddenly my shields flicker once or twice because a Scarab is attention-whoring. "Screw off, Scarab! I'm taking down the more dangerous enemies first!"
-
Halo 3 Scarabs are like the deathstar.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] nubyw00tz I did like when you destroyed the scarab on Outskirts - [/quote] Metropolis. Outskirts only had the scarab shoot a fleeing hog through the roof of a tunnel. Watching the hog fall through the roof only to be immediately annihilated was more satisfying than the entirity of the H3 campaign. [Edited on 08.26.2009 6:44 PM PDT]

I hate skipping everyone in Halo 3 and going for the main controls.
