Ya it doesn't make sense, but you have to understand that a lot of people would rather just hear the covvies speak english, versus reading subtitles... it's just lazyness is all.

if u read the halo books u wud know

cortana caught a covvie AI on the ACENDANT JUSTISE covvie flag ship and broke down its code to find a covie-english lexicon(translator)
she integrated it with her translator to create a software package the humans now utilise thus the helmets sound filter translates it.

Didn't see it here, so:

How to get scarab gun on Metropolis:

1) Lure a banshee into the tunnel, and lure the banshee into the loading area (past the circle on the floor and as close as possible to the tube entrance.)

2) With the player who crosses the loading zone (in case you are on co-op,) make sure that you have the 'press x' message for boarding the banshee... and make sure that you will have it as you back up a few inches and cross the loading zone.

3) Now cross the loading zone and board the banshee.

-If you board the banshee prior to triggering the load, it will explode.

-The banshee remains for a second or two after the load before vanishing, so you need to be quick.

4) You can fit a full-sized banshee through the tube with a little trial and error. The entrance and exit are the parts that seem to cause the most trouble.

The scarab gun is located at the center of the first sky bridge.

He didn't find it. And it's not the Scarab main gun, it's those smaller guns also found on Phantoms.

And whoever wrote that couldn't have done a WORSE job writing it (No offense, Dan :) )

ok i found a glitch my friends and i play around with.

In cuagulation you have to take a warthog up on the hill behind red base and put it right up against the wall, with the side seat facing the base. then sit in the side seat facing the base. Then have one of your friends come to you and stand right in front of the side seat. MAke sure your reticule is red(you have to be on seperate teams) and press "R". you should hear a sword sounds, but you dont swing. Stay in the side seat and have your friend take the banshee out to the middle of the map, high up in the air. Once your friend is out in the middle, get out of the side seat and you will fly across the MAP!!! its so fun and it can help with bomb traveling. ENJOY!

go to a MP level with a huan tank and make it explode so u cant use it
then shoot the covers off that are covering th treads on the tank
walk up to the upper left hand side (walk into it)
look down and you can see the lower half of the MC

just a weird glitch

NOTE: i havent tested it in any other level

btw meatloaf: do you HAVE to do all that stuff in legandary?
not only that but you can slash w/h your sword and it will throb and it doesn't take a broken tank, you can walk to the turret, or anything w/h a cr@ppy collision model, basically everthing and look at the ground you will see it. P.S. if you spin around it is the most hillarious thing you will see.

1) Lure the banshee thtough the tunnel
2) After you get to the part where the loading point is (u know the tube) make sure you have the banshee boarding message
3)cross the boarding point and board the banshee at the same time
4)fly through the tube
5) the scarab gun is on the bridge

It fires the main scarab beam. not that stuff the hunterxi said.

Yes, my damn mistake.

Please elaborate on getting the banshee into the tunnel, I can get it to follow me about 1/4th of the way to the loading point before either:

1. I am shot to death by Covies
2. The banshee just banks out of sight and disappears

Er, one part of that problem is that it's impossible to juggle keeping a Banshee in your sights and shooting enemies at the same time :/
