Description
As with all vehicles in the mod, the Scorpion has several 'damaged' variants that appear proportionate to the damage received. The Scorpion in the mod is inspired by the variant from Halo CE where the machine gun is mounted on the main turret.
are you also going to include the Grizly, i can't spell it right
Grizzly. Two Z's. But no, probably not. VERY few units from Halo Wars will be making it into this mod. I'm not the biggest fan of that game...
Only one I want in there is the vulture.
Although I like the cobra as well, the UNSC lacks a bit in antiarmor.
You're looking at the UNSC's anti armor :)
We're looking at the UNSC's anti-everything.
i always preferred the pre-halo 3 tanks where one person controlled all the weapons... :)
two questions on vehicles, will the scorpion be able to shoot at air? and how powerful will vehicles be compared to the games?
All vehicles that would be usefull against aircraft can, in fact, shoot at aircraft. Ghosts would be pointless but Warthogs, Scorpions, the little turret on the Wraith...all can shoot at air. As for power, the Scorpion specifically has splash damage on it's cannon, which makes it powerful vs infantry. Ghosts and other light vehicles can be taken out with one shot, like the games and the main cannon (also like the game) fires once every four seconds when targeting the same unit constantly. I'm trying to be as close to the console as possible.
awesome. this is exactly what ive been looking for in a halo mod for ground combat
Me too...which is why I'm doing it that way. lol.
Will the Elephant be ingame (so it can hold Mongooses and infantry like the Juggernaut does with MDUs and infantry)? As well as Mongooses?
The Mongoose will be included. Several variants I think; rocket passenger, generic, etc. What I would actually love is to develop an individual upgrade system like what Relic's games have...where, for example, you build one Mongoose that has no passenger(basically a scout vehicle) but you select that Mongoose and you can choose to upgrade it with a rocket passenger, regular passenger(weaker but much cheaper), or perhaps sniper passenger(for a very fast moving sniper unit with a tad extra health). Not sure if that is even possible though.
Oh, and yes, the Elephant will also be included. It will have the "deploy" ability like the ATAT and will spawn one marine squad on use and another ability to deploy a Mongoose. It's civilian variant(the garbage truck) will be included as a ground prop for some maps as well ;)
sounds great!
If you find you need help with the Mongoose upgrades, I know how to make it work. A little experimenting that I was doing for First Offensive taught me a few tricks.
nice, i love the little scorpion tatto on the side of the turret, just like reach
