The Scorpion looks similar, but I don't think it's exactly the same. It looks like it has a bit more details than Reach's. Falcons are too far away though to judge.

It seems like they took the model from Reach and retextured it, as they did with the Mongoose and all the others.
Still, there's nothing wrong with reusing Reach assets since they were really well made.
Except the human weapons, those were fugly.
The one thing I liked about the Human weapons, though, was that they did have a considerate amount of detail that did give them their own sort of charm, like the Splazer having the little screen or the DMR having the iron sights even if you didn't use them. I don't think they're ugly, but I do think they're a bit too blocky or skeletal.
Actually, the DMR's iron sights were the most ugly addition to any of the guns, and I hope that those screens of the DMR without them in Halo 4 are accurate. I wouldn't have minded so much if they were flipped down like they ought to have been, since magnification is used. I did like how all of the guns had more character though.
And I still can't wrap my head around the existence of both shields and lasers in the human arsenal at the same time that we're losing the war in space. Mind = fucked.
This situation actually occurs when Humanity is beginning to really fight back into the war. The turning point was that the Covenant found Reach. If they hadn't found Reach, Humanity probably would have done a lot more with that technology. As Bungie stated, a LOT of technology was lost when Reach was glassed.
Somehow I don't see humanity producing weapons of the scale the covies have and engines to outspeed them before they wiped out humanity once and for all, but then again, Halo is full of holes like this (Don't get me started on the initial attack on earth, out of range my arse, just fire all 300 super MACs in grid pattern and cover their entire sector, leaving no room to run except forwards, into the next volley, or backwards, in which they'd still be hit :downs:)
