I find it amusing how people seem to miss the fact that both 'variants' of the Scorpion in the game has a coaxial machine gun. It's pretty clearly on the model for the Reach variant. You see a little barrel sticking out from the one side of the turret on the front. It's just not usable in gameplay. Can't say for sure if it's on the halo 3 or halo 4 versions, but it is on the Reach one. I'd bet it's on the halo 4 version because they basically use the Reach model with minor tweaks. --{{Unsigned|24.176.77.147}} | I find it amusing how people seem to miss the fact that both 'variants' of the Scorpion in the game has a coaxial machine gun.

Is it mentioned anywhere that the Spartan Assault tank is the M808 instead of a newer B model or a new model altogether. The pilot operated machine gun turret as opposed to the separate one on the normal 808 seems to be similar to the pilot operated turret on the B model. I feel like the Spartan Assault version is actually an M808B due to the fact that the pilot can operate both turrets by him/herself. And yes, I know it is also makes game play simpler but there has to also be an in universe explanation.

Why Halo Waypoint report that the producer of this tank is Acheron Security? Source Xwx (talk) 11:30, 4 January 2013 (EST)
- There are two major possibilities. 1) Chalybs Defense Solutions' headquarters were located on Meridian or, more likely, Reach; they were destroyed in the final months of the war. Acheron Security won the bid for the production contract. 2) Chalybs' contract for building the Scorpion is not exclusive, even if they were the original designers. For example, the M1 carbine was produced by almost a dozen contractors during World War II; both Misriah Armory and Ushuaia Armory produce the CH252 helmet. --Courage never dies.

- Or Chalybs may have been bought out by Acheron, as does sometimes happen, and continued the contract under the new name. -- Qura 'Morhek The Autocrat of Morheka 17:28, 4 January 2013 (EST)
Scorpion tank turret
I find it amusing how people seem to miss the fact that both 'variants' of the Scorpion in the game has a coaxial machine gun. It's pretty clearly on the model for the Reach variant. You see a little barrel sticking out from the one side of the turret on the front. It's just not usable in gameplay.

I'd bet it's on the halo 4 version because they basically use the Reach model with minor tweaks. --—This unsigned comment was made by 24.176.77.147 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~
Spartan Assault
Is it mentioned anywhere that the Spartan Assault tank is the M808 instead of a newer B model or a new model altogether. The pilot operated machine gun turret as opposed to the separate one on the normal 808 seems to be similar to the pilot operated turret on the B model. I feel like the Spartan Assault version is actually an M808B due to the fact that the pilot can operate both turrets by him/herself. And yes, I know it is also makes game play simpler but there has to also be an in universe explanation. Rprince418 (talk) 12:02, 9 November 2014 (EST)
