    He said they had 2 scarabs... At 20 units per Scarab, That's 40/40 units, leaving no room for engineers or anything else, right? Plus, Unskilledjt, you said they were all ODST, which means they should have all had rockets. Either way, it should have inflicted a noticeable amount of damage if you highlighted them all and had them all shoot the same Scarab.

    no that leaves them 10 units since covenant max is 50 not 40, also infantry die the fastest against scarab, its your fault for spamming.  I find it funny that most people fight with cutter only fight with odst I just use 20 flamers and get them ranked 3 and destroy their bases with grizzlies, and hornets  

    Right because Cutter can totally build Grizzlies.

     

    Hahaha,yeah and you are totally not lying.

    Re: ODST vs. Scarab

    omfg 40 marines (infantry and 4000 resources) lose to 40 population of Uber unit Vehicles (counter to infantry and 6000 resources) I dunno why.

     

    Spamming marines is terrible and any decent player would own you before you even get to 30 pop to even medic cause they would have scouted and build wraiths/ tanks / warthogs/ ghost.

    Unskilledjt:i was play a freindly game with some other person online the other day. He was the Arbitar and i was Captian Cutter (or the old fart). i upgraded my infantry all the way to get ODST when i spawnd 40/40 from the barracks i then attacked his base. But when i get there i saw that he had 2 scarabs. That seemend normal. but when i used my special for them to damage the scarab i did absoulty no damage. i think the odst should have one more upgrade.... chain gun. every sparten gets one if you upgrade it once. but the ODST only get medics (which only heal the group after the fighting is done) and to ability to be shot down to any area that you have lit up on the map. ODST are some of the greatest infintary units in halo wars but why do they do absoultly no damage to vehical? with 40/40 units they should at least weaken it. if it wasnt for the MAC blast we would have a slaughtered army and a blown up base. post any thing you want to agree or disagree on this topic.

    Disagree, ODST's cant hold chain guns. Spartans are Super Soldiers with super strength, stamina etc.

    When you say no damage, you lie, 40 ODST can do quite a bit of damage to a Scarab, i bet it just had a buttload of engineers on them.

    and you did not notice them heal it

    Re: ODST vs. Scarab

    Covy max is 50 units, not 40, and like I said in my previous post at the bottom of page two...   Cutter should have won easly. I dont know what he did wrong but he really did something very wrong.
    If I was the Arbiter, a 9 foot tall male alien and my birth name was Shirley... I would be angry too.
    Even if it is a cute name.

    Re: ODST vs. Scarab

    Look pal, I normaly play in skrimish against the x-box, and makin 40 ODST WITH 3 SPARTANS has worked very well to me. I don´t know what the hell happen´d there, but i dont think that had happen´d. Maybe, attack the scarab´s with the mac canon and then strike with your ODST. Spartans can be more opgraded, but i think that insted of buildin ODST´S make 3 hornet´s for the Spartans. And for the record, i dont have much time playing halo wars, i might be wrong.

    If you can't do any damage to a Scarab with Max ODST, then you're on crack. there must have been Engineers on them. Even then you can paint 5 or 6 squads to attack each engineer separately to take them down quick.

    Re: ODST vs. Scarab

    obviously the 2 scarabs that took no damage was on the 1 map were there is the life support thing adding 10 more units when occupided so it was 2 scarabs 19 engeneers and 1 random unit

    Re: ODST vs. Scarab

    1. ODSTs can destroy a scarab. You have to use it in the right way. Surround the scarab with a continual drop force. (it wont sand a chance)

      Re: ODST vs. Scarab

      In my personal experience the Scarab is a beast against the ODST and can put out a lot of damage. If the Scarab has a bunch of engineers constantly healing it (fully upgraded of course) then it stands a major chance of continually winning.

       ODST can use their rockets to cause damage and their sheer number and force can take down a Scarab. In my opinion it is cheaper to have one Scarab than ODST because of the ODST upgrades and cost of building them. (1800 just to get ODST plus 1300 for first three upgrades and 4000 for 40 units vs. 1 scarab)

       In the long run 2 Scarabs are more powerful than ODST and they cost less and they will always have the advantage especially with Engineers.

      First and foremost; 2 Scarabs would fill 40/60 population for a Covenant player.This leaves room for 20 Engineers, 10 each.

      There's nothing that ever said that a Spartan Lazer was too heavy for a Spartan. It weighs 20.4kg (45lb). A Marine could lift it.

      Hm, are you sure, i swear to God i remember someone talking about it, and a quote from the book was "a huge weapon, only the strongest of spartans could hold it" or something along those lines... 

      In First Strike it was stated that Locklear had a hard time lifting a fuelrod cannon, which Grace promptly relieved him of (show off, so glad she got toasted by the Brutes)  which is kinda funny since grunts seem to have no problem. 

      lol, i never thought of that but you're right

      you always see grunts carrying fuel rod cannons...(well in the halo trilogy games)

      never elites and brutes...lol

      Re: ODST vs. Scarab

      dude that would make them so overpowered. just think 40 chainguns shooting a target would kill anything in a second. but why don't you just mack blast the first scarab down and drop ODST's all around the 2nd scarab and use your rocket launchers on it. it should nearly kill both of them.

      Splazer only weighs 35 kilos....

      = 77 pounds

      = Special Forces (ODST) can easily lift them.

      Re: ODST vs. Scarab

      The ODST gains upgraded damage and hitpoints over Marines, but what makes the ODST a true super unit is the ability to DROP.  Being able to instantly put 10 new units into a pitched battle can turn the tide with Cutter. ODST can be particularly effective when used in combination with air power and Spartans (e.g., as a counter to Vampires), or when counter-attacking an enemy base (you start the counter with your remaining units, then drop 10 ODST behind the enemy base). I think it's a cool unit.

      Re: ODST vs. Scarab

      By looking at your horrible grammar and horrid spelling, i can tell you're not very smart. i'm not trying to insult you, but the scarab is a vehicle; naturally the ODST's have to be weak against a scarab. They may be the best infantry unit, but, by design, they are destined to fail against a scarab. That is why you switch strategies to overwhelm a scarab instead of complaning and wodering why your ODST's didn't do much damage to it. The chain gun is an idea that isn't well thought out. while you're at it, why not create a squad of spartans, and give the fuel rod gun to honor guard, and start super powering every unit so that you can win a whole war by massing a single overpowered unit. Not going to happen. Sorry.

      Wrong! In Halo 3:ODST, the ODSTs can rip off turrets and use them...dont ask me why...


      Everything is overpowered!!!
