    Re: Halo Wars Fan FAQ.

    Jeteye1:
    C.C.:

    When it comes to halo games never rule the flood out.  Also, i don't think the battle rifle will be in the game, since blur made the pre render, and not ES. Also you should put the brutes as a possible covi unit, as one screenshot has units that appear to be brutes in it. And one more thing, For where it takes place you should put mulitple planets, as ES has already said this

    Brutes-Added

    Multiple Planets-added

    Battle Rifle-removed

    Flood-unchanged

    There is, as of now, no brutes.  The picture we saw was blurred and we have since discovered that those were elites.

    Overall, this was a great FAQ.

    Re: Halo Wars Fan FAQ.

    NLPH:

    Some things I noticed u may be not including:

    1) covenant buildings. expect to see covenant buildings like the ones in snowbound in halo 3. also a great example is the anti-aircraft guns on the mission The Ark in halo 3. Other than the big purple ones, there will probably be underground ones that look like missile silos from your view, like the one that the scarab comes out of in the e3 demo.

    2) The unsc infantry will include more than just Spartans and regulars. There will also be machine-gun teams and probably rocket launcher teams.

    3) I don’t know y u would exclude BRs. I doubt the Spartans will have the same weapons as an unsc infantryman. I would expect to see a Spartan in regular mode with a BR or assault rifle, and a melee mode with a shotgun.

    4) You could add a lil fact in there: The common idiot says "yay I can get a hundred Spartans and pwn in this game!" this should not be the case. You aren’t commanding a bunch of master chiefs here, your commanding regular Spartans. they should have about the same value as elites, because weren’t they evenly matched in the early days of the war?

    1) Since we have not heard or seen any Covenant buildings as of yet, they will not be added to the FAQ.

    2) Other than Marines and Spartans we have no info on other infantry types.

    3) BR's were not around back then. And I'm not saying that just because they didn't appear in Halo: Combat Evolved. They were not manufactured until the time of Halo 2.

    4) That’s an okay point but I haven't heard many people say anything about that. I'll look into it.

    Re: Halo Wars Fan FAQ.

    I found this link in the How to Implement the Flood thread.

    1up believes that the flood will be in the games, and supposedly in the campaign.  they do not know whether the Flood will be playable.

    Re: Halo Wars Fan FAQ.

    maybe we should number the questions to make it easier to source

    Re: Halo Wars Fan FAQ.

    Honestly, do u seriously think you wont play as the covenant? Although, i seriously doubt the flood will be playable (no resources/ buildings unless you count a gravemind or something) let alone in the campaign since there wont be an annoying little ball who commands thousands of sentinals flying around on harvest or whatever

    Correct. Covenant will be playable but like I've said, only in MP.

    Re: Halo Wars Fan FAQ.

    I'm good, i didnt expect a covenant campaign but by MP you mean Xbox live or system link? I mean splitscreen would suck because nothing would ever be a surprise.

    Re: Halo Wars Fan FAQ.

    I'd just like to point out that Battle Rifles were in early testing stages during Halo: Contact Harvest, which preceeds Halo Wars.

    And some guy who has nothing better to do (long name, isn't it :p), you should go read How to Implement the Flood. Its a thread (that has probably sunken to page 2 or 3) in the Game Suggestions that I wrote explaining how the Flood could work if ES did use them.

    Re: Halo Wars Fan FAQ.

    Well thought out, although i'm sure a gravemind could be easily decimated by the right player. Perhaps the flood will be a downloadable feature after HW comes; however, there will probably have to be sentinels and an "oracle" to contain the flood or something but other than that, your thread is near full-proof

    Re: Halo Wars Fan FAQ.

    I forgot to put this but it will be near impossible for the flood to effectively counter aerial units and scarabs

    Re: Halo Wars Fan FAQ.

    ok I recently asked about the editor. I think it would be a great idea to put in the game (though being limited) and being able to save your maps and let others download them online. There would be some difficulties but I think that it could work.


    Hey Ensemble, from all the stuff I heard about this game...You make me sick...
