- GamePro, July Edition

Overview
The Grizzly is an upgrade to the M808B Main Battle Tank. It is a beast :). It is out fitted with twin cannons, a heavy machine gun, and a shrapnel based rocket launcher as its secondary ability. It appears in Halo Wars, accessed by upgrading the Scorpion, and usable only by the UNSC. It is obtainable only with Sergeant John Forge as the UNSC player's hero unit. Once it has been researched, it can be purchased at the vehicle depot.

In Combat
The Grizzly is an extremely capable unit, suitable for defeating large amounts of enemy armor and infantry. Since it posesses a secondary canister shell attack, it can decimate infantry squads with ease due to large area damage. Its main disadvantages are its turret's slow turning rate and its cost. The armor plating has also been improved, able to survive multiple shots from the Hunter's Assault Cannon, and can survive a sustained hit from the Scarab's main gun twice as long when compared to the Scorpion. The co-axial machine gun has a faster firing rate and inflicts more damage per hit than the Scorpion, at the cost of taking a little longer to reload.

Trivia

 * Originally it was supposed to be equipped with a flamethrower, but with the recent release of the game this has been proven to be removed from the final game.
 * Serina refers to the Grizzly as Forge's "pet project".
 * Sergeant Forge remarked that he personally supervised the upgrading of the Scorpion to the Grizzly units; even stating that he made "His own special upgrades..."
 * The Grizzly is noticeably similar in appearance to the Mammoth Tanks of the Command & Conquer franchise, a series notable for popularizing RTS as a genre. Both the Gizzly and the Mammoth rest on four independently-suspended tracks, possess dual cannons, and are the heaviest armor available to their respective factions.
