Re: Cuddling. Hunter. pairs.

In Response To: Re: Cuddling. Hunter. pairs. (scarab) : I always wondered what was so special about a bonded pair. If they weren't a : breeding pair then what was the point? Why such a deep connection? : And yes, snuggly Hunter pairs are a good thing in their own right. :-) : In a sense they already did because some time back, pre Halo 3 days, I : suggested that Lekgolo could take many forms - that there was nothing : inevitable or natural in the bipedal form to collections of sentient : worms. I even suggested that they could combine together to form giant : mechas. : Bungie went one better and gave us Lekgolo Scarabs. : Though I think that they missed a trick with the AA guns in halo 3 and Reach. : They could have been modified Scarabs. They could have made them easier to : board so that you didn't have to go through the leg damaging mechanism : just to get on board to kill them. : And I still want to see a cutscene with Scarabs walking out of an Assault : Carrier's hanger bay and dropping down to a planet below. Imagine what it : would be like for an army on the ground. One second there is no enemy to : be seen. Then the skies are filled with falling Scarabs - retro rockets : blazing. 10 seconds later you have a full blown war on your hands. : I have another obsession about how the Covenant or UNSC could swiftly deploy : forces onto any planet they visit. Its their bread and butter so they both : have to be good at it. : A Scarab could hold troops and a couple of Ghosts in its hold. A bigger : Scarab could hold a Wraith or Banshee or two. The entire package is mobile : and ready to fight as soon as it lands. : I've never seen sniper towers being deployed. I wonder if they could act like : the multi-occupant drop capsules that we saw in Reach. Maybe the energy : used by the gravity lift could be used instead to generate the shield : curtains that those drop capsules used. Then, just before impact, they : could drop the shields and activate the gravity lift to suspend the : occupants to protect them from the final impact. In essence combine the : two things into an instant deploy checkpoint/observation post. : ODST drops could be accompanied by drop capsules that hold extra supplies or : even Mongeese for rapid transport from the drop site. ODST drops often ARE accompanied by drop capsules with extra supplies and mongeese. (See Cole Protocol)
