Line 64: Line 65:
The M808B Scorpion Tank makes its first appearance in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', in the [[campaign]] level "[[Assault on the Control Room (Level)|Assault on the Control Room]]"; it is also available in the [[multiplayer]] levels "[[Blood Gulch (Level)|Blood Gulch]]" and "[[Sidewinder (Level)|Sidewinder]]". The tank is a dull gray, it moves at a decent speed, and it has a lightly protected canopy in multiplayer, although this is not so in Campaign. Because of this, it is easy for a sniper to kill the driver of the tank, effectively disabling it. Players also have the option of riding on the tank's tread covers in multiplayer.

Line 81: Line 82:
*Driving and aiming controls are now completely divorced allowing for greater maneuverability when firing. Previously the aiming and steering controls were linked, meaning the player had to aim more or less in the same direction they were steering.
