Tank beats Ghost
Tank beats Hunter
*TANK BEATS EVERYTHING*
The ark is my favorite halo mission ever, so good.
Man of culture
Cough* scarab enters the chat
Rock paper TANK
@@JoseCruz-wr3jz tank can still beat it. Just shoot it's legs then when it's stationary drive around to it's backside and shoot the circular lit up but till it comes off then you'll have a clear shot to the weak point to shoot at it then drive away. So, tank, in fact, beats everything.
Reach traded in some of the tank level for a kickass space level and a pretty open falcon level. Reach may not have the best tank level but it definably has the best vehicle experience overall.
Reach is honestly jus the best game
Agreed, and for as short as its tank section was, Reachs' scorpion felt so damn powerful
I thought the space level was the worst part of reach
@@mastercheif5645 There's no such thing as "bad" in Reach, the game is literal perfection.
@@Powerhaus88 I’m glad you like it but the reach def has some rough spots
Don't forget the achievement for that Halo:Infinite Tank fight is "bring Shiela home safely" (Drive the Tank into the Spire), plus it's a RvB themed one
Really? That’s amazing! Haven’t started infinite yet, just been keeping up on updates to see if it ever gets to be worth it. Good to hear 343 is at least keeping it up with the RvB love
I got that achievement my first time playing coop completely by accident. It was a welcome surprise.
"A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one."
@@5stargrim you’ll be waiting a long time for the game to be worth it
I was so happy when I got that achievement! Also, I think Echo-216 has a line where he mentions naming the tank he's dropping off "Sheila". I saw a clip of it, it hasn't come up in game for me yet, and you probably need the IWHBYD skull on. But it's there!
That tank felt super weak.
Halo 2's coaxial machine gun makes it the best
Technically Halo CE's had the machine gun too, but CE's Scorpion was pretty inaccurate and slow to fire its main cannon.
I kinda miss the h2 wraith shooting much faster. the wraith is a lot worse than the tank and it would be cooler if it was a little better at taking out infantry and small vehicles
@@redmist6630 I mean the Wraith is traditionally a lot more mobile at the very least and can be used for cool shit if you get the hang of the mortar.
Honestly for multiplayer purposes all the maps that have Scorpions should have Wraiths instead. The Wraith is just much better balanced for PvP compared to being able to effortlessly snipe people across the map with the Scorpion.
@@Robbie_Haruna eggxactly exactly
@@Robbie_Haruna yeah the wraith would be less stressful and less punishing to use against warthogs that will rip you to shreds while doing donuts, especially on open terrain
People didn't know that there was both a warthog and a scorpion on Delta Halo? On my first playthrough of Halo 2 I got both of those.
Right
I also got a Wraith tank and after I finished a level and got an achievement “finish a level wo a scorpion tank” I realized that I missed the one 😂
The scorpion is a must on delta halo. Its definitely in my strat book.
If you don't pay attention to the voices and rush through. You miss the 2 pelicans that drop both. But I saw it the first time and remember both each time
@@Killian749 ive always known about them and used them. but like you say. i guess some people dont listen and just rush through but thats surely a minority of players.
"I'm not really stressing about the manpower. I've got a bottomless bag of -magic weapons- Tungsten shells. This baby is going to get me that -wish- Skull even after the whole team is dead and gone."
Master Chief after being questioned about making all the Marines sit on the outside of the tank
I remember vividly my first time playing the tank segment in Halo 3, it was awesome, I was destroying everything
But I also remember playing Halo 4's tank segment, I was so bored I actually started shooting my A.I. spartans and if i recall correctly, I wasnt punished by it
halo 4's tank level kinda sucked but halo 3's cortana was definitely the best
That level is also overshadowed by the introduction of the Mantis later in the same level
Both the tank and mantis sections felt very linear and basic. You practically go straight and eliminate "waves" of enemies along the way. It doesn't feel very dynamic
The tank part of The Covenant is one of my all time favorite parts (that level in general is 🤌🤌). It feels like you're leading the whole UNSC army into battle and it's so iconic to me.
Agreed. That level and the final tank battle of The Ark with the 2 scarabs are just soo amazing. Halo 3 is pretty much just "Gather everyone around! We're going to war and kick some butt!"
The Ark and Covenant are my favorite missions in Halo 3
2:20 I wish more levels had the Dynamic Chapter Titles like this one did. Easy and Normal both have Ladies Like Armor Plating while Heroic and Legendary replace Armor Plating with Grinding Treads and Superior Firepower respectively.
I had no idea that was a thing!
The best thing about halo 3 is it makes the unsc and covenant really feel like they're in a war and not just one man taking down the whole covenant military
Yeah, thats something I didn't like about Halo 4 and Infinite. They were mostly the Master Chief doing everything. The other games had help for the Chief, but not as much as Halo 3 did. That's all besides Halo Wars 1 and 2.
Though I did love how the last 3 levels of Halo CE were you versus the world. A chaotic 4 way battle 😂
@@dr.boring7022 CEs final levels were legendary, but nothing can quite compare to halo 3s feeling
Definitely. I think halo reach also did a good job of that too
@@Alex63645 for sure
There’s never a bad scorpion tank run, that’s for sure.
You forgot the halo 4 Reclaimer scorpion battle at the end that is really good in my opinion. I wanted you guys to have your take on it.
yeah, you even get some voice lines from Sgt Stacker, telling everyone to form up on the chief
That's a solid tank battle, good call 👍
You forgot about the end part of Halo 4's reclaimer mission which honestly I think was an awesome section, if not a little short. There was also an entire spartan ops mission dedicated to the scorpion.
Not to mention on the Ark how the Forward Unto Dawn literally flies in blowing all of the destroyed vehicles away before dropping the ramp full of vehicles. Easily one of the most memorable moments of Halo in general.
On quarantine zone I always boost way over to the first tank to get it from the flood, they terrify me with that thing so i gotta go fast 😂
I like how the "Top 3" ended up being a top 5, and the "bottom 3" was like a bottom 6
Reach wasn't even ranked in the end lol
You forgot about the tanks in Tip Of The Spear in Halo Reach, you could commandeer the Wraiths.
First time I'm hearing about people not knowing Delta Halo had a tank section. It's pretty obvious that portion of the level was designed for it, and unless you were speed running the level you would see the tank be dropped.
3:02 even though you cant get past the second gate, ive always just driven over the ramp past the first gate and used that to clear the second gate. had to get all my tank time while i had it.
You can. But it is really hard. It took me a long time
@@theu.atraiterishere32 oh to get past the second gate? yeah i just mean you cant really bring the tank into the tunnel. or ive just never had the patience to try.
Assault on the control room and Quarantine zone are my favorites.
don't forget the intro of the tanks on The Ark. the frigate just zooming to drop them off
Halo 3’s The Ark mission is just perfect as a tank mission. Even when you lose the tank it’s only for like a minute. As if Bungie is saying “don’t worry sweet child, as now you get blow up a dozen wraiths and a boss in the next section!”
I just like driving the scorpion in Halo 2 best. It's so smooth. My favorite on Delta Halo is to play co-op and the second player jacks a wraith. Wraith follows behind the scorpion and arcs shots over the scorpion. It's glorious.
It’s funny, in The Covenant I got a mongoose and a rocket launcher, gave the launcher to a marine, and got the mongoose all the way to the two Scarabs because I love rocket mongoose
To me in Halo 4 I always enjoyed the Infinity mission with the scorpion, just hearing the engine of the tank and moving through the ash on the air and hearing the constant gunfire
“The ark”
“Kizingo boulevard”
“That halo 4 level”
Good to see us fans are united where it truly matters
Infinity is a fun mission to be fair
@@whod74 Tank beats everything but linear paths.
@@Outcastsage9033was still an arguably memorable experience tbh
@@sodium7127 combined with the mantis section i guess that's true
@@Outcastsage9033 also the fact that it's the chief's first time fighting alongside 4s which was so cool to me when i first played that mission
Delta Halo is amazing with the tank. Especially the final part, where you can just annihilate the enemies coming ot of the centre. Also I would switch Metropolis for the Halo infinite level, due to length.
There is another tiny tank section in Halo 4's level reclaimer at the end that you forgot, but it is bad anyway
Technically, the wraith isn't a tank, but is a mortar cannon, based on how its main gun fires.
A gun carriage would be more accurate, as the mortar cannon is its armament
It’s a tank
@@resistantzero66 For gameplay purposes, perhaps...
But for realism, technically not a tank.
@@resistantzero66 That's like calling a mortar carriage like the M1064 mortar carrier a tank. It's just plain incorrect
You forgot about the second tank run in halo 4, after the indoor section on reclaimer
Would be surprised if anyone sincerely loved the H4 tank section. There's such a lack of enemies to shoot with it, a large distance to cover, and it feels like the UNSC just wasted their resources by giving you a tank to begin with
I actually enjoyed this bit
Did you know that in Halo 3's The Covenant, if you enter Hornet's Passenger seat in the dual Scarab fight, the AI pilot will ferry you between Scarabs? It will pick the closest Scarab to the Hornet, hover over the top deck, then wait for you to hop off before flying away while you destroy the power core. Once you return to the top deck, it will attempt to pick you up then try to fly you to the next Scarab to do repeat the process. Once both are dead and you are once again in the passenger 'seat', the pilot flies you as directly as its pathing can manage to where the Arbiter is dropped off by his Phantom.
It is a little janky due to how AI pathing works in Halo 3, but it still works!
I'd like to suggest the 3rd level in Halo Wars, Relic Interior, as an honorary Scorpion level. Controlling 2 Grizzly tanks to crush all opposition to rescue Forge and Anders is pretty awesome. Especially thanks to the raw power of a Grizzly, they're so powerful that even Legendary falls like a chump.
Halo's Scorpion has always been my favorite tank in gaming and my favorite vehicle in all of Halo! It was always just so much fun and enjoyable to just annihilate everything before me with 90 mm of tungsten rounds on 66 tons of Dee-Vine Intervention. My favorites are definitely Halo 2 with the coaxial MG on it and Halo 3 for the more detailed design. If I had to make a new Scorpion, I'd take the turret of Halo 2's and put it on the hull of Halo 3's.
Also I always knew about the tank on Delta Halo, because I play slowly so the tank came to me as I always wait for it. Guess I was one of the few that consistently wait for the tank when playing on that level.
Halo 4's tank level is overall such a fun level. I'm glad we get the tank included. It's a heavy shootout to get back in the Infinity. It makes sense.
I think it's the best level in halo 4 designwise. It looks great, it plays well, the story is captivating, and it introduces the mantis wonderfully. The tank section feels really different in this level because it's more of a retreat to a ship, rather than climactic battle or an offensive assault on a location.
yep the only thing good about halo 4
The Halo Reach tank level is probably my least favourite because the Geometry of the map makes it way too easy to get stuck on rocks.
You also missed the second tank section in Halo 4 during the mammoth level. You get to team up with Sergeant Stacker for a bit after the meeting with the Librarian
i actually recently replayed "Assault on the Control Room." And here's the thing, in my opinion... The level itself, particularly the tank part, is great. But the scorpion tank controls like ass. I actually didn't remember this, but replaying it, the tank controls feel like probably the most dated part of the game. They have not aged well. Later games did such a better job with the tank controls. In CE the machine gun on that thing is nearly worthless because it's so inaccurate. The main canon is better but it still seems to miss sometimes for no reason whatsoever and takes way too long to reload. And just in general the tank is not great to move around. Later Halo games did such a better job with this that I think it really makes me have to take that level down a point.
So I'd probably rank it the third or fourth best tank level. But if it wasn't for the controls it'd be the second best one, imo.
The best one being "The Ark." The second best being on "Metropolis" and the third being on "Delta Halo."
Hard agree. Being able to drive at a ninety degree angle to the target you are shooting at, circling around it, is one of the best changes made to the scorpion's controls, rather than forcing the hull of the tank to face wherever you're looking like the warthog does. For the wraith however... it is perfectly fine.
@@Destroyer_V0 Yeah, exactly.
3:04 I have and will continue to always bring my tank over those 2 barriers meant to stop me to spite the level designers.
I figured out on my maybe 3rd time through the level through angles I can squeeze the tank between the tunnel barriers and I've just always done it after that, really more suprised I don't see other people doing it.
8:10 this heartless monster didn’t let the marines ride on the tank with him.
The level in halo 2 after crossing the bridge and reaching the marines in the tunnel. You can actually drive the tank up the little walkway and get into the tunnel with all the cars. Its fun pushing all the cars, buses and trucks forward while mowing down the enemy.
Not quite the Warthog skip od The Silent Cartographer, but equally as fun.
Next section is even nice enough to have the Jackal Sniper distracted!
i love this i really do BUT id love a challenge video like Taking scorpions and wraith tanks in crazy places you were never supposed to or something
3:04 I managed to drive the scorpion over that barrier at one point. Took a little bit of wiggling, but it can squeeze through.
"Usually the good lord works in mysterious ways. But not today! This here is 66 tons of straight-up HE-spewing dee-vine intervention. If god is love, then you can call me cupid!"
I think it would be a cool video for you to look how the halo experience was in non English speaking countries, in the early days where internet was still a rarity a lot was very different than what has been described on the channel, since there was no communication between the large groups of fans world wide.
For example I remember believing Halo dude 117 aka Master chief was actually a girl because no one knew English in the group of friends I had, and since most of the time cortana speaks you dont see her.
Another thing that was prevalent in third world countries was that since most people couldnt afford a console kids used to go to "arcades" where you could rent a console for an hour and play on the rental place in a LAN with your friends.
You forgot when you got to control 2 grizzly tanks to rescue SGT Forge and Anders
I love Halo 2 Delta Halo tank level because I often use the tank to break out of the map and traverse the terrain regardless of the vertical incline. I've never missed the tank and look forward to the exploration with the tank
Halo 2's 1st Scorpion Tank level seems superior in terms of satisfaction, merely for the fact that Sgt. Johnson himself hand deliverers it to you, and immediately a marine that hops on with a Rocket Launcher, followed by another just mid-point of the bridge.
A Tank with a Rocket Launcher on each side fighting off Ghosts, and occasional Banshees is one of the most epic scenarios in the Halo franchise.
Fuckin' fight me.
Delta Halo is 1000% a tank mission, the song Heretic, Hero starts playing immediately once you get it in. Johnson even says "Armor is on the way!" when you activate the bridge to cross the river.
Halo Infinite's segment would have been better if it didn't feel like I was driving a paper tank. Getting shot from all sides by dropships and infantry while driving a paper vehicle was the most frustrated I had ever been driving a tank. If I wasn't doing it for the achievement, I would have just driven it off a cliff then continued on foot.
On the upper level of the tank scene, What players may not know is that you can commandeer a brute chopper and take it through the small opening in the damaged door to the other end.....
Don't forget that Halo also has Two betrayals swith the tank you find it fighting flood early on, but that's jsut assault on the control room reversed.
I actually really enjoyed the tank + mantis mission in halo 4. Helping reclaim the infinity felt dope
I actually like the wraith more than the scorpion since it can splatter among other things.
For halo 4, I also despawn the enemies by running along the rocks.
Doing a halo ce run right now. AOTCR is one of the best levels. On halo 2, you can drive over that first barrier with the tank. Makes it easy to take out the rest of the enemies in the tunnel.
Ur not going to mention the horrendous accuracy of halo ce's tank
@@jasonravichandran266 It isn't great, but I am pretty good at it. You have to aim a little lower. I can always nail those shade turrets after the 2 hunters and wraith.
Great vid!
I think that the tank sections in halo 5 were amazing, especially the last one. There is so much going on during these fights, and I quickly learned that these fights can't be approached like most other tank levels. Most tank levels are "tank beats everything" requiring little tact. The levels in halo 5 forced me to think carefully about what I was doing; if I tried to brute force my way through the level I would quickly die. In those fights, the best weapon was my mind, not the tank I was driving. The tank levels in halo 1 and reach also did this well.
You forgot the 2nd Tank Level in halo 4
I forgot that Halo 4 has that tank parts. There is that part in Halo 4 at the very end of the mammoth level with a tank sequence, but halo 4 has a lot of forgetful areas in it
I have an idea for a video, throughout the halo games in certain menu's there are funny captions like in reach's custom game/forge/firefight damage output settings if you change the enemy damage to 0% it says, "The enemy can deal no damage, only glare and wish for your demise" and stuff like that. Sounds like a reasonable video
The just okay journey gets bonus points for being the only wraith level in any halo game ever
I love the big armor/vehicle battles, it really varies the scale of the game nicely
In my opinion the best mission in halo history is probably “the covenant” mission in halo 3. From the very beginning the mission, and even the music is on point. U get to fly a hornet, drive a tank and ride in a warhog. Rolling deep with the Marines and the elites by your side the whole way was honestly the best part for me. I fucking love tht mission.
After driving the tank across the bridge in Halo 2 & into the tunnel, you can actually take the tank over the first barrier.
You drive up the ramp on the right-hand side & drive the front of the tank up the wall. When the front of the tank has lifted up above the barrier, turn slightly to the left & it will climb over the barrier.
When climbing over the barrier & the front of the tank dips down, park on the barrier & kill all the enemies there, then drive down pushing vehicles out of the way, killing everything as you go until until you get to the second barrier at which you will have to get out to proceed, but it does just leave you with one jackal to deal with on foot in the tunnel.
17:16 Luke got so bored that he made the NPC Spartans pay for it
Naaaaah you did the Delta Halo one dirty. It was still cool to drive it and it was cooler to me than even the bridge. The bridge was too short - just lasted literally one area and whoops gotta get out. I didn't even realize the scorpion was so forgettable, it comes down pretty early after you clear the enemies. It's in my top 3 with the ODST one and Ark.
ODST and Reach's tank turning controls got pretty bad. I don't know why they went with the ass-backwards controls for those games compared to how simple it was to turn in CE / 2. ODST tank barely does any damage on higher difficulties as well, especially on Coastal Highway Heroic + where Banshees take 2 tank shells
Eh? You mean being able to drive the tank in one direction, and shoot sideways relative to the direction of movement is not something you enjoyed being able to do?
Gonna be honest. I am not a fan of the tank's hull automatically turning to face whatever I am shooting at, while holding W in halo CE.
aaaand no defense for halo ODST. reduced damage done by player controlled weapons is honestly one of my least favourite parts of that game. A bullet is a bullet, it should not magically do less headshot damage because it's held by an ODST rather than a spartan. Normal difficulty, sniper rifle in the NMPD headquarters, unable to 1 shot headshot ANY shielded brutes is one of the most blatant examples of it.
@@Destroyer_V0 the moving while shooting in different direction is great for 2/3, but for some reason you have to align the turret with the front in order to turn properly in odst and to a much greater extent with Reach. I don’t remember if this is the case with h4 or not
In Halo 4 in the canyon level I don’t know what it’s called there is a scorpion tank at the end that you can get in. I’m not sure if that qualifies as a tank level but it is there. And I’d like to see this but with warthogs
Can we please talk about how 343 messed up the tank controls? Like, the scorpion handles wonderfully in all the Bungie games, but from Halo 4 onwards, it's just incredibly clumsy and will sometimes just not move in the direction you're trying to tell it.
Destiny 2 also has some great tank levels. At one point you're on Titan and you have to use a big maintenance tank to ram through the Hive and escape. At another point Amanda Holliday gives you a tank for you to blast through a heavily fortified Red Legion area to board a giant ship.
In Forsaken you go to a scrap heap and use spare parts to repair a scrapped tank then use it to fight your way to the Mechanic.
In my opinion, all of these sections are better tank sections than anything 343 has made.
One thing I liked about Delta halo was that you could crawl up the side of the wall in the ruins and find the ODST drop pod and the rocket launcher, and you could even crawl further up out of the map with it
How about close quarter combat levels (Shotgun, Energy Sword)?
In CE you get your first Shotgun at 343 Guilty Spark, then the rest of the game is close quarter combat except for the obvious Two Betrayals and the final part of the Maw.
In Halo 2 you get a Shotgun right at Cairo Station. Then you get an Energy Sword directly at the beginning of The Arbiter and said sword becomes abundant during Elite levels.
In Halo 3 we sadly only get two shotgun levels and a sword level, and that last one isn't truly it unless we play co-op (Cortana) as otherwise it is just a shotgun level.
They're non-existent in later games.
You pick the right decision on the covenant level being the best tank level. Plus that iconic line " tank beats everything. "
In Bungie Halo, the Tank feels like a powerup that you don't have to use, but more of a treat. In 343 Halo.. the tank just feels like an 'On Rails' by the numbers tank level... same with the Halo 4 Mantis. Terrible levels.
The classic "linear bad, mtx freedom" retardation.
Go back to pokemon Slenderman and Barren Wasteland if your "pOwEr lEvEl" feels threathened.
Hard disagree on Quarantine Zone being so low. Driving through in a tank with that epic music playing, blasting through a three way war with the flood and human vehicles after you was an awesome experience I'll never forget.
I actually like the Halo 4 tank section, it's fun but not the worst. I definitely agree with the points made with it being just added on but the music really helped that section out to stand out. The music for Halo 4 carried that game and is very underappreciated.
This has been driving me crazy the past two weeks or so and I need confirmation on this:
When doing the Halo 4 tank section on MCC about a month ago, I heard a voice over comms calling out enemies as they approached or were defeated. "T-32 RAV on approach," "Wraith inbound," "Ghost is down," etc. I figured I was just dumb and had never noticed, but then a week later when I replayed the level I didn't hear it.
Has anyone else heard this or am I actually loosing my mind?
Delta Halo is not the tank level, its the "In Amber Clad" / "Trapped in Amber" mission. The music absolutely slaps good lord
One thing you forgot is that there is a small tank section in the end of Halo 4 Reclaimer. And Sgt. Stacker actually has a voice line very similar to the Halo 3 ark tank fight in that section.
i like how you said players "typically" have to leave the tank in the tunnel on metropolis
There’s has to be a mission in the future where we fight an actual giant scorpion similar to Clash of the Titans with a scorpion tank.
The only ones that stand out to me personally are The Ark, Assault on the Control Room, and the one in Halo Infinite
What about the bridge in halo 2
@@masterchief9743 I always preferred to take a ghost
unpopular opinion but I would definitely play a game where the Entire Halo Campaign revolves around driving a Scorpion Tank. The Tank Missions are one of the reasons why I love playing the Halo Campaigns, they are just really fun with my favourite being the dedicated Tank Mission from Halo 3 since that one actually felt like an Armoured Assault rather just giving the player a tank and expecting them to break through a Covenant blockade all by themselves. I hope in the future, we can get a sci-fi game like Halo that has campaigns with crazy large scale battles, tanks supporting infantry, being blown up by artillery and airstrikes and overall just chaotic, it's too much to ask for a Halo Game since massive battles contradicts Halo Lore due to UNSC Tactics avoiding that kind of doctrine
Game idea halo: tank crews, you are a unsc tank driver, you must go in convoys, solo supports and recon missions to defeat the covadent with some missions you steal covy tanks and ghosts to improve mission survivability in different ways, in multi player have full on tank on tank warfare against the covy forces and throw flood in there while you're at it. How does it sound?
I love using the tank in Halo 3 and ODST the most because you can destroy phantoms and the animation is absolute perfection. Every time I see a phantom I start unloading on it right away to blow them up lol
The animation for the phantom explosion in H4 was a letdown but at least they let you destroy it.
You can also in halo infinite, but it is nowhere near as satisfying as 3
I'm surprised most people didn't know about the tank on Delta Halo; these days I speedrun so I skip it regardless but both back in the day and even when I replayed via MCC I always got the tank; it strikes me as hard to miss since it drops right after you pop the bridge. I certainly loved driving it through the ruins and blasting the ghosts and all the enemies in the nooks. Also as a side note similar to Cortana's remark on that level on that level has an equivilent on Genesis in H5; if you don't take the tank there Buck'll say the tank is pretty neat.
The Great Journey shouldn't be on here imo largely because on Legendary (maybe Heroic?) you're actually not able to take R'tas's wraith.
QZ is also iffy but funny enough in the reverse of Delta Halo I ALWAYS grabbed the Scorpion from the flood in the beginning. It's a tank you have to work for but it's fun to drive...except for the rocket flood nailing you. Also the extra tank afterwards makes it one of the levels you can experience more tank of than others. One of my favorite things though is that if you nab the first tank and keep some elites alive you CAN in fact have a tank full of elites (since the side seats still exist in H2) and it's incredibly badass. And as well when you near the part where you need to leave it there's another flood controlled tank as I recall so you have one of the only Scorpion vs Scorpion fights in campaign. TLDR if you're counting it, def goes higher.
H4 I kinda see the reasoning but I don't think it was a bad tank level. I do get that you go from tank to mantis but actually I'd say the tank section itself isn't really any different from your other tank sections in the other games; particularly compared to H3 it's a simlar bust up some wraiths, ghosts, and towers; it's not ark levels of good but I'd it's only slightly more bare than AOTCR and Metropolis. Also while it's a rather minor detail I actually do love the fact that you can have the tank loaded into the Infinity on that elevator. Doing that and fighting the enemies inside was fun. I think in fact it's a nice sense of escalation; you rumble with the tank, then you're asked to leave it for an even more badass vehicle.
In another reverse of Delta Halo I didn't realize you could take another tank on Ark for the Scorp fight. def something to try. Ditto for the tank on Covenant; I always took a hog and never realized the tank was there.
Reitterating but I think Metropolis could be lower as it's a bit repetitive and bare. Still fun cuz tank and it gets a great intro in cutscene but gameplaywise aside from the banshees there's not much going on in it.
I think if I'd put a top 3 it'd be:
Ark
QZ if it counts
AOTCR
Delta Halo (if QZ isn't there)
This is basically how I would rank these tank levels. The Ark just plain slaps. Easily my favorite level in the trilogy
The "unoccupied" tank on Halo 2's Quarantine Zone has a flood who runs towards it. You ideally kill him before he pilots it, at least on Legendary.
In halo infinite as the tank level ended so short I figure it out stay inside the brute building there is a switch to open up that gate the gate after you took out those hunters I think you probably accidentally overlooked that
I knew I wasn't the only one oblivious to Delta Halo's tank in Halo 2, I always used a ghost or hyjacked the wraith on the other side of the bridge
This video made me realize that assault on the control room is literally the only level with the tank.
You forgot Halo Wars, where almost every level can be a tank level if you decide to build them lol. Also I’m still not over how little health the vehicles in Halo Infinite had, especially the Scorpion
C'mon, Halo 5 deserves top 3 or 4. You get a prolonged tank level, and get to fight Banshees, Wraiths, Ghosts, Promethean Knights, Phaetons, those turrets, and finally you can fight the Warden with the tank at the end (with some tricky movements to get it over the barrier). That's freaking iconic. Don't let your Halo 5 hate cloud your judgement 😆
The bias between Halo 4 and Classic Halo does my head in. In Halo 2 you drive down literally the most liner path that could have been made, blasting enemies as you go: best mission ever. You do pretty much the same thing in Halo 4: worst mission ever.
Before even watching, best Scorpion level is Halo 3 The Ark and Halo 3 the Covenant hands down at the end. Vsing the Scarabs is such a memorable video game experiance
Didn’t realize how lucky I was by halo 3 being my first, I didn’t really realize it was a thing and in reach I wasn’t even bothered that it wasn’t till the end
Theres also an even more forgotten "tank level" in the halo saga and is the end of the mission reclaimer, its super short but theres a tank there
Jackals: *laughs in overcharged Plasma Pistol*
I love the Scorpion tank so much, I would prefer 1/4 of the game is in the tank!
You could have mentioned the dual grizzly tank level in Halo Wars.
You missed another tank level in Halo 4. Reclaimer also has a tank at the end.
