    As the universe's mightiest Alpha Male/Chad once said - 'They're tough, but they ain't invincible!' Well, that man was right, however a few Scarabs in today's video would definitely give even this chad a run for his money! Enjoy fellas!

      Not sure if it's verified yet but I also read a bit about the Banished Scarab that the unstable plasma beam it fires is so hot that it can actually harm the lekgolo worms operating the scarab from the inside.

      Hey HiddenXperia , I hope you're doing well, i was wondering , what are your thoughts on halo infinite being set on JUST a HALO ring exclusively? wouldn't it get too boring? or do you think we'll get to travel around the galaxy as usual? or maybe they'll make it up with multiplayer maps being set in different locations?

    If I had to guess, the Banished scarabs were Halo 3 models stripped completely down to a bare "skelaton" and rebuilt by the Banished. So it's not visually similar but I believe under the hood it's the same.

    • @jakespacepiratee3740
      @jakespacepiratee3740 4 роки тому +58

      It's not internally the same, I remember reading on the wiki that, consistant with usual Brute thick-headedness and brutality, they have a core that kills many of the Hunter worms trying to control the Scarab, forcing them to retreat to piloting the legs. This keeps control of the Scarab entirely to its Brute, or Elite Pilots.

    _Destroy or disable the Scarab_
    You look to your right and see in the distance a Tier 9 Scarab roaming the plateaus of the ring. With only the MA40 and your shotgun, you have been given the "optional" task, that is not doing so will let the Scarab continue to melt the feeble UNSC presence on the ring, to go out there and face this never before seen living machine from space hell!

      Nope, not a fan of that tbh. As a general idea it's cool(ish), but it just wouldn't feel like Halo to me if that's the way they did the campaign.
      Destiny basically did that exact thing, and it just felt disconnected and contrived. It was cool at first, but from a story perspective, it was really weak. I suppose it *could* be done a bit differently and work a bit better, but I personally would much rather have a more traditional progression of the story, but just with more expansive, mysterious landscapes like Halo: CE had, rather than the narrow, linear, over-designed straightforward routes that Halo 4 and especially Halo 5 had.
      CE definitely had linear parts to it, which is fine in moderation, but it at least wove in a lot of larger, more explorative areas into it as well (e.g. the second mission on the Halo ring how you can find & rescue the pods in any order and path you wanted, the Covenant ship with a bunch of different pathways to explore that made it feel like a real, large ship, etc.).

    The first Scarab you talked about was not a special kind of stationary scarab. It’s the same thing as the Super Scarab from Halo 2 (which is different than the ones seen in halo 3 and reach). The reason it couldn’t move was because it was under construction, which Forge tells us during the mission in Halo wars.
