As it looms over the ridge, you almost expect the game to enter a cutscene any second. It catches you completely off-guard, far bigger than any foe you’ve ever faced in the Halo games before. The mission sees you clear out a series of dust bowls while zipping along on a Mongoose quad bike, a UNSC soldier firing rockets from the back seat.Ĭompletely out of nowhere, a huge beetle-like tank charges its way into the arena.

Your first experience of one is towards the start of the campaign.

For those unfortunate enough to have not experienced a Scarab takedown, it’s a combination of everything Halo does best with a hint of Shadow of the Colossus.
