...what would happen if you used a Mammoth at full speed to tackle a Scarab head-on?

Oh god. Last time, I was doing this, it didn't went good. I would show you guys a hilarious picture, but it would be too awkward. :lol
Edit:
No, you aren't. I love the way Halo 3 does it. It's a challenge, not a hard one, but it is a challenge.
I want some through achievements and some through progression via credits. You aren't the only one.
I should also point out that the ones are through achievements can also be earned through progression, but they cost a lot.

I loved that to be honest.
I didn't know this was confirmed. Good to know I'll have it day 1.

Unlocking armor through achievements is fine. As long as the achievements aren't bullshit like some of the Lone Wolves ones in Halo 3.

So what's everyone's launch plans? Jump right into multi or go for campaign. Start out on legendary, or go slow for the story?
My girlfriend and two buddies will be doing heroic on launch night. We wanna play the campaign and take in the story, we'll worry about legendary after that. I can't wait for this campaign. My only hope is we have a co op compaign that is more like Halo 3 with lots of vehicles and large diverse battles. Reach wasn't nearly as good for co-op and ODST was a bit limited, although better than reach.
After that I have a whole 5 days of vacation to play Halo non-stop. I'm way ahead of all my classes this semester right now, so that way I won't have any work to do.

No, I don't know what a fictional drink is made of.
I'm salty today, I should eat something.
Solo Heroic campaign.

Co-op campaign with my brother (tradition) probably. If enough gaffers want to play multiplayer, than I'd be down for that as well.

Probably Heroic Solo. Maybe co-op heroic if my friend is up for the midnight launch.

Misquoting someone? Quoting isn't hard. Btw. I am not hating Jägermeister. I love it. Except it is warm.Originally Posted by Hypertrooper: View Post

Yep. My plan too. Hopefully it will be a enjoyable but not too easy ride.
Whoa, are you my brother's alt or something?

I just call that "playing MLG."
I still love that it takes one ODST to bring down a Scarab in Halo: ODST but all Carter can think of is ramming the Pelican into it.
Just finished replaying Crysis 2, this time on the completely maxed out PC version, with Maldo's texture mod, and was getting a framerate around 100fps.. So damn beautiful. While fighting the aliens I was constantly thinking of Halo and how sweet it would be with those visuals, I hope Halo 5 can look at least 75% as good and they push it to 60fps.

Idea for the Promethean vehicles: make them Sentinels. Here's how it would work:
-Sentinels function by themselves, unmanned, as standard enemies.
-After taking significant damage, they vary in action, depending on how much damage they receive much like vehicles.
-If they take too much damage, they simply explode and are destroyed for good.
-However, taking ~90% damage would send them into a "withdraw" mode. Examples already in-game include active:
Withdrawn:
-While withdrawn, Sentinels would remain inactive on the ground for a short period of time. This gives them two options:
-After about 10 seconds, they repair enough to get off the ground and begin fighting again. (This is assuming Sentinels would have regenerating health.)
-If you go up to them, it prompts "Press X to Board Enemy Sentinel."
-Doing so would initiate a light transformation sequence where the Sentinel rearranged and contorted to function as a vehicle for you, using levitation, possibly boosting, and whatever weaponry it had at the time.
Basic vanilla Sentinels explode and are destroyed like usual, but there can be four other options:
1. Super Sentinel. Light Recon / "Promethean Ghost"
Active Mode: Central concept.
Withdrawn Mode: Bottom-right.
Vehicle Mode: Top-left.
This would be the quickest of the Promethean vehicles, capable of levitating off the ground and getting some aerial capacity, but is better at horizontal/lateral movement rather than ascent. It can boost. Its only weapon is a modified Sentinel Beam, which does about 90% damage of a regular Sentinel Beam, but slows down and stuns targets, similar to the Halo CE Plasma Rifle.
2. Promethean Enforcer. Middle-Level Vehicle / "Promethean Warthog"
Active Mode:
Withdrawn Mode:
Vehicle Mode: ?
This would be similar to a Warthog, and could theoretically hold two allies in the lower modified "arms." It loses its ability to crush other vehicles but can still float a considerable height above the ground, but is fairly slow for a mid-level vehicle. Its weapons include a mortar-like ballistic missile launcher that the driver can use (which requires recharge), and the two passengers can also control Promethean Needler shots--roughly equivalent to using two buffed Needlers at once per "turret," recolored red. It can use its frontal shield, but it will automatically deactivate to accommodate passengers.
3. Promethean Retriever. Heavy Vehicle / "Promethean Scorpion"
Active Mode: Right concept.
Withdrawn Mode: Left concept.
Vehicle Mode:
While initially levitating, being occupied by a Spartan would force it to convert to a grounded "walker" form, with the slowest movement time, comparable to a Scorpion tank. Rather than rely on explosives, the Retriever could fire an incredibly powerful set of three Sentinel Beams with enough power to destroy a rival Scorpion as long as the entire beam connected (which would last about five seconds). It would take a four-second recharge and while it can turn on a 360 degree axis, the Retriever cannot walk while firing its beam. Its downsides include its wide top being exposed to a variety of fire, legs getting heavily damaged by grenades and heavy fire, and the two side "vents" could be boarded to place grenades in.
4. Forerunner Tank. Context-sensitive, situational "Super" vehicle
This vehicle's properties are unknown, minus having a single beam attack capable of leveling entire cities using a form of "Hardlight Glassing."

If I recall correctly, that wouldn't have been possible. I'm pretty sure Scarabs in Reach are coded as pieces of the environment, not vehicles, and are therefore indestructible.
