    I agree. No strategy is impossible to counter.

    Exactly.  I like to scout and play it by ear.  Everything is counterable when you know what's going on.  Only times i lose is when i forget to scout a second time if my first is destroyed, or forget about second bases.  And even then, it's rare.

    mhm. one thing to do is to even counter the enemy scouts by blowing them up ASAP! but they can come from all sides... though.

    OR letting the scout see your barracks or vehicle station.. then quickly destroy it and build something else :P

    You can't blow it up right when the game starts, you don't have the units.

    And i am aware of false trails, i will try to scout often enough for them to not throw me off.

    Ya i know, but it gives you a nice heads-up.  Also, having a warthog charge at one of your borders, finding the units, then coming back with their counters with a few warthogs behind to seize the weakness.

    Re: Covenant rush impossible to beat

    The Spartans’ ability to jack is limited before they get the “jack upgrade(can’t recall the name offhand).” Plus, the Prophet’s beam wastes a Spartan so quickly that they don’t get much of a chance to jack the wraiths in this strategy.

     

    Warthogs also don't have any weaponry until they upgrade, so they're quite useless against the wraiths.

     

    I should have included a question mark at the end of this thread's title. I don't think it's impossible to beat, hence I asked for your guys' opinions on a counter-strategy. It just seems like the Covenant can get a much stronger and larger force up before the UNSC.

     

    With pre-positioned bases I'm not sure how scouting is applicable here. Plus, what I listed the prophet and ghost doing is like scouting.

    Re: Covenant rush impossible to beat

    TNine:Seeing that you are going to build a factory with my scout, i'll just focus on making a Spartan, that can jack any wraiths.  Same goes for the elephant rush, i'll jack the elephant and destroy any Marines you have.  I have yet to try the elephant rush, seems like it would die to a rail gun turret though.
    Ah Spartans, the counter to all rushes

    No, they can jack normally.

    And as soon as a spartan gets on a veichle, he is immune to Y attacks, meaning if he can get onto the wraith, you either destroy the wraith or try to shoot the Spartan off normally.

    The upgrade makes them jack veichles quicker and be more powerfuly when they're in them.

    And if you edit the OP, it will change the title from General Discussion page.

    Re: Covenant rush impossible to beat

    Hmm, I dunno man. When I've used Spartans to jack stuff (before their upgrade) on heroic their success rate is not too good. But like other people have said, we'll see once the games in real people's hands. An AI Spartan may be easy to kill, but a 13 year old button-smashing to get him to jack a wraith will react differently

    Re: Covenant rush impossible to beat

    How about Grahm's tactic?  Build an elephant right off and spam marines at the enemy base.
