andrew0568: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

This is probably with many units around.  With just a prophet and a wratih, the jack will likely be succesful.

o.O Who told you my name was CivBase?:How about Grahm's tactic?  Build an elephant right off and spam marines at the enemy base.

Just would like to give a covenant equivilant to this strategy.

get arbiter

spam suicide grunts ;D

they look liek  mobile explosions

From what I saw in one of the vidocs, a suicide grunt squad took out a building on it's own. I figure you have 5 squads more or less, you can take out a base.

Go sig your self :)

A lot of people seem to enjoy using the Elephant. I'm going to try using it for once next time I play the demo.

I 4 shot with both my BR and my MAC.

I hate it when after about a minute on heroic the covies spawn about 20 honour guard elites and i cant really do much, but just realised elites cant attack hornets so i get loads of them and they own the elites (especially when the A.I. only make 1 type of unit (in thins case elites))

this works if the A.I. only send loads of elites

bring it on, a nice 3v3 skirmish or deathmatch
add me for a game
gt: Ltjere

Yeah, the Hornets crush Honour Guards  Flamers, especially when upgraded, can usually stand there own too.

I also used the AI's strategy on heroic to win my battles, but the strategy that I took from it is different from yours and I always win. Its a turtle tactic though but I win. I build the temple and then the rest supplies in the mean time I get the supplies around the map with the ghost I also build turrets and upgrade them for protection from an early attack. Once some of my supply bases are built I upgrade them and also try to upgrade the temple. Then I build an army of elite honor guards and once I have a super army of elites I attack the base next to mine  take it over and build hall, summit, factory, supplies and a shield, just in case my first base is destroyed. Later on I take the other extra base with a super army and everything is upgraded fully and finally I fight against the AI having it attack me and I just sit there destruction after destruction, but then I do eventually destroy their base. When I look at the score board they have lost 200 something or more troops and I have lost only 20. Once halo wars comes out I will take the legendary AI's strategy if it beats me.

Flarepheonix333:

i have made a strg that is called airstrike iv used it on heroic and pwnd

fisrt make a reactor supply pad barrcks then supply pads

once done upgrade hog and make turrets

after this upgrade supply pads if not done yet

upgrade yur turrets for a small defence then upgrade marrians

once done start a small army, you should have been attacked once or soon attacked by this point

hold them off and repelish if need be then take the rebel's base and upgrade it

hopefully you have saved some sypplies and now you can upgrade reactor

now make an airpad and a lot of supply pads at your second base

make sure you have turrets and the ones yuou have have been upgraded to anti-vechical

now try to deffend for a while and make a feild armory upgrade units and anything eles

upgrade everything for vultures(air uber units in airpad) after this start making as many vultures as you can i got 6

send in yur small ground force to do as much damage as u can

after defeated send in your vutuers and attck the base save your mega barrage(y button attck) for latter establish a base replenish lost vulters and then swarm the second base assuming they had it and spam Y and use your mac blast and your granteed victory in seconds

Sweet grammar dude. Real nice.

Or you just build a supply pad, a reactor then a barracks, at the same tie while building turrets. And as soon as reactor is finished spam warthogs, that usually works. I won a game using only warthogs that eventually got upgraded to Gauss, on heroic against covies in under 15 minutes. (cant recall exact time but it was in between 10 - 15 minutes.)

I dont need to "get a life"Im a gamer, I have lots of lives!

Giving away my stratagies to everyone on this forum you say?  No, I would rather not, its not exactly smart...

Well moderators, you managed to ban the people who didn't do a *** thing, congratulations..

that easy to beat u do realise its all vehicles? so unsc can build a elephant and supply pads 3 spartans in half the time... spartans jack ur wraiths every time they spawn on prophet,, then with 3 wraiths im pretty sure ur prophet cant afford enough y to win..... that was just 2 easy

Spamming one unit is senseless especially at the start of the game IE: Infantry Rush, Tank Rush, Air Rush. As there is a counter to it. You best bet is to at least build a mix of 2-4 units. Because your gambling if you make nothing but Scorpions and they have Hornets or worse Hunters...

We really aren't giving away stratagies. Things could change when we get the real game, with extra units and all. Stratagies change when the battle changes.

Sounds pretty good but I, personaly, would counter with Spartans by then considering the first thing I build is a reactor. I also build and upgrade turrets ASAP because turrets in this game are very powerful.
