Talk:M850 Grizzly
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Tank with a flamethrower? I'd call that overkill.

Not only a variant[edit]
As said on John Forges card, it is more than a mere variant, because it states that "Grizzly tanks can be requested when Scorpions come up short.."; guess it's an independent tank, which shares with the Scorpion part of the design. Spirit of Fire 14:50, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Anyone want this in a future Halo Shooter?
Main Battle Tank?[edit]
After reviewing both this page and the Scorpion's page I have come to the conclusion that the Grizzly is, or USED to be the UNSC's main battle tank. My main reason is that the Grizzly fires more appropriate rounds (120mm compared to the Scorpion's 90mm). It may be possible that sometime during 2531 and 2552 that the Grizzly was replaced as the main battle tank by the Scorpion. It may have been that the UNSC didn't have enough money, or resources to continue building an effective amount of Grizzlies. It's also possible that the Grizzly and Scorpion are both main battle tanks, but one is "heavier" in terms of firepower.SNOR{3} 07:20, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
Is this a Grizzly Tank?[edit]
File:UNSC Grizzly Tank-crop.jpg|right|200px|thumb|An assumed Grizzly Tank variant?.
Hey, this image was in the Halo Encyclopedia, and it is labeled as a Grizzly Tank, yet it does not have two barrels, like it normally has in Halo Wars. I was going to post it, but I can't be sure that it is a Grizzly tank at all, and it definitely cannot be a Scorpion Tank. Can anyone provide any information on this? Like maybe how and why it is a Grizzly Tank, or how and why it cannot be a Grizzly Tank? Xamikaze330 13:02, 6 September 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330
- It's actually an early concept art of the Grizzly, like :File:001 grizzly.jpg|this concept art. Thus not canon. :) — subtank 13:14, 6 September 2011 (EDT)
- I do agree with the early concept art part, but to me, it seems relatively canon. I mean, the image File:001 grizzly.jpg was posted, and it is labeled as early concept art, same as this one. What's so different between the two? Xamikaze330 13:41, 6 September 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330
- Concept arts are not true canon; they are treated like deleted content. They can be canon; however if they do not appear in the final product, they are treated otherwise. Note that this does not prevent from being added to the article. Both are the same vehicle; File:001 grizzly.jpg is basically a rendered model of the concept art (see right thumbed image).— subtank 13:59, 6 September 2011 (EDT)
- Does that mean I can post this in the article, even though it is not canon, same as File:001 grizzly.jpg? 'Cause that's what you seem to be saying, that it is alright to do so, if I'm reading and interpreting this correctly. Xamikaze330 14:00, 7 September 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330
- Yes. :P — subtank 14:02, 7 September 2011 (EDT)

Better Introductory Image[edit]
I see that someone changed the introductory image back to the old one, claiming it is higher quality, which I beg to differ, is not higher quality. That blue-blurred edge stuff just makes it look very blurry. I want it to be changed back to the newer, higher-quality image I got from the halo.heavengames.com/halowars website. And I think the old one should be deleted, as it is not high-quality. --Xamikaze330 11:22, 2 December 2011 (EST)Xamikaze330
- Honestly, the current pic looks better than the GIF image. The blurry edges hides the jagged edges well.— subtank 15:18, 2 December 2011 (EST)
- Just a quick FYI, I've already uploaded and posted an image that is bigger and better-looking than either images, as the new main intro image, as I'm sure almost everybody here may have already noticed. And a little further information as to how I managed to find a screenshot to work on in Photoshop, I managed to find one on the spanish Halopedia, from an acquaintance called Obliterador, alternatively known as Obliterador96. Obliterador has been working mostly on the spanish Halopedia, and sometimes works on Halo Nation. Just to let you know. --Xamikaze330 18:31, 6 February 2012 (EST)Xamikaze330
