Scorpion! WTF!

easy kill.. lol I know what you mean, that happens to me all the time.. sometimes they miss too and that make me laugh.

What people don't know is that the main fire of the scorpion attacks like a magnet to anyone on a hoverboard, manta or viper.. you can see the ball or disc actually curve towards them, pretty easy to kill that way.

ur stupid

lol.. Aikgood has a point.. you dont know how many times I see people just self distruct the scorpion in Avalanche.. the scorpion is best used for taking down vipers and mantas.. especially around center node. 

It isn't really about killing people if you are in a Warfare match, is it?
I played Warfare on the PC version once, and I suck so bad at it, I can't kill anyone with m/kb.
Nevertheless I still got top score and won the game without killing people. I did what I was supposed to do. Cap nodes.

I still don't see the point of just mindlessly selfdestructing a passing Scorpion.
This is just as annoying as when people just drive around running people over with the Nightshade.
Might as well just kill everybody who translocate in Ctf too then?

nah seph i do see his point... its like the other person is driving towards an objectoive.. but then focuses all attention on some passerby that dont matter.. same annoying thing that like lets say im on suspence and im on the bridge.. and have enough health/armor and JB's to do a flag run and sometimes i dont wanna risk dying as i wanna just grab the flag as its nearing the end of the game... sooo when someone tries to kill me on the bridge... i jump down to the water and then the person jumps down and kills me from behind... sometimes veen when that person was previously in a vehicle.. so what like am i.. someone in the middle bottom of the map causing him/her no harnm at all worth jumping down and killing rather than going for the objective??... i hate it sometimes and when i die form behind whne ive jumped down and i think... what the hell was the point in doing that anywya?.. lol its dumb.. its just like... yeahhhh this random person is wayyy more important than the flag i MUST go down aftre him!!!!!!!!

Its actually alot of fun when scorpions go head to head on self destructs. You both eject almost at the same time and you have to look at where they are in the air for an easy mid air kill. I remember it happening to me on downtown, but i used flak primary and all the shards went into the other person mid air and he exploded (we ejected at the exact same time) . But its flak primary so it doesnt count as skill LOL

thanks penquin u are right..... so if u have an objective dont you think they might have one too? so why let them get to there objective and use it on a node or whatever they are going to do with it.... why help the enemy, when u can kill the guy and take him out of the equation.

 Matt the scene u described is something completely different.

How is it twisting? you want to pass another scorpion on the road without doing anything..... lol

What makes me laugh even harder is when people try and kamakazi when I'm walking or on my hoverboard and I just move out of the way and keep on going.. hahaha.. if someone can miss me with a scorpion then the guy's really not a threat LOL!!! 

Originally posted by NbK_Aikgood You guys can twist this subject all you want. It won't get less annoying and less meaningless anyway.

Well then lets say you both kamakazi at the same time.. and he flaks you in the air.. or a darkwalker peeks out of his corner and lazer tags you.. lol so many different situations could happen.. thought the game was VCTF not Deathmatch lol 

Originally posted by NbK_Aikgood Alright... Here is the deal. Everytime I just try to drive a Scorpion, and I drive "past" Someone else, they ALWAYS wanna selfdestruct me. Why? What is the point of wasting a Scorpion just to selfdestruct a passing vehicle?

if it's a good foot mode player then it's to their advantage to get rid of all of the vehicles so they can dominate an area without having to worry about the scorpions huge blast radius, tanks shells, etc. but the scorpions are definitely mis-used in Avalanche since there's no avrils at center node. another good way to use a scorpion is to sit in one where it spawns and let the enemy wander up to the node unaware. easy kill.
