Halo fans when they the UNSC name their gear after animals on Earth (and some look like em too): "10/10 best thing"
Halo fans when Sangheili design their vehicle after a predatory creature on their homeworld: "HOW DARE 343 RUIN THE VEHICLE"
DID YOU KNOW:
First generation of banshee were called Uztet'sKelln, and were modeled after the winged predatory creatures known as the 'sKelln. Known to be voracious and cunning, 'sKelln stalk the skies hunting for prey in the mountains of Sanghelios.

False equivalence. A tank that has a rear mounted turret has a vague similarity to a scorpion, cool. An elephant shaped tank that fires shells out of it's trunk would be stupid as fuck. Design has to make logical sense in a sci-fi, this makes no sense.

Bro, the hog legit has two "tusks" that are useless in the front.
They are legit useless, because there is a tow cable with a hook right between them.
Not everything has to make sense.
And this does, the Banshee's design

1: humans rule Xenos droole
2: humans didint make a literal warthog with an engine or a skorpian tank with 8 legs.
This animals is taking a banshee and turning it into a biological specimen.
Its far too on the nose

It’s about execution. The scorpion and the warthog get their names from the turret on the tank and the tusks on the front of the hog.
This just looks a little to much like someone look at the banshee and tried to draw an animal. Also, I don’t like the bioluminescence

I have my complex feelings on halo but some of these ppl just seem to treat bungie vs 343 the same as that “place: place, Japan:” meme

Just Bungie fanboys hating on 343 as usual. Their games can be criticized, sure, but anytime they dip their toes in lore it just gets bombarded by hate.

This whole Skub is 90% of people being angry at the 10% who do not like this, and somehow conflating themselves to be in the minority of people who like this instead. This damn website sometimes.

I feel like naming vehicles after animals is just a universal thing all intelligent races do.
