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]]. 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. | 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]].

*The tank's canopy has been replaced with a solid metal cover like in ''Halo: Combat Evolved's'' Campaign, preventing the driver from being sniped while it is intact. However, vehicle damage has been added to human vehicles, and so the player is in danger of the tank exploding if too much damage is taken. | *The tank's canopy has been replaced with a solid metal cover like in ''Halo: Combat Evolved's'' Campaign, preventing the driver from being sniped while it is intact.
