I was watching the video again and I noticed some thing pretty odd. The scorpion tank is far more powerful than the Rhino and is alot cheaper to as well as taking up less population.

Here's the stats that I copied off from the video.

Scorpion

Air Damage: 22

Vehicle Damage: 93

Infantry Damage: 40

Structure Damage: 51

Defense: 34

It costs 650 energy and 550 in material. It takes up 20 pop.

 

Rhino

Air Damage: 0

Vehicle Damage:19

Infantry Damage: 15

Structure Damage: 42

Defense: 36

It costs 900 energy and 700 in materials and takes up 40 population points.

Now that's why I'm confused. The Scorpion performs better, costs less, and takes only half the population a Rhino does. What's the point to such a unit?

Now, I know the game is no where near completion and that this could simply be a mistake.

Ride the Rocket

Hmm... when I first read about it (haven't downloaded the full video, read it on HaloWiki) I assumed it would be an economy version of the Scorpion, or maybe an uparmored tank. Now I'm not so sure.

Lethe:

Then you should be pretty happy with the game; it's a lot of fun.
Even if a squad of marines out of dozens of units on a battle field has shoulder pads .25" too thick for a fanboy's tastes :)

Inspires confidence, no?

Mortar perhaps?

I dunno.the only thing the Rhino has going for it is it's slightly tougher shell.

Ride the Rocket

i think it was mentioned that the rhino was an artillery weapon...i believe it can shoot from a great distance...

Halo: The Unlatched Casket- The horror is released........

Some kind of heavy apc perhaps...

That's what I was thinking.  The Rhino would have the ability to carry units AND dish some firepower.

Yea it seems like a long range artillary weapon.

maybe..... it is fast for something of its size

Actually, this might be something good, if people would put more thought into their posts and contribute.

Or maybe i'm just too old and senile now.  ^_^
