Ive been playing Halo Wars and enjoying it quite a bit. Im up to level 10 and it´s kicking my ass. Im playing on normal setting and I cannot seem to get ahead opening up the landing routes for the squads. Any tips would be greatly apprecitated.

 It also such a short time that I have to finish this. What am I doing wrong?

what do you have to do in this mission? ( and ive finished the game by the way just can't be bothered putting halowars on and having a look )

You are evacuating the planet and need to get 3 squads past the flood and you only have 15min to do it and the covenant are trying to drag the base ship towards the planet.

What you do is: First up build your defences on your base.

Build about 5-7 scorpian tanks and 3-4 hornets, upgrade them if you can.

Focus on the flood area in front of you and send you tanks.

With your tanks, focus on the defences (one by one) and then call your Hornets to kill the infantry. (Make sure you destroy the central base or they will regenuate)

After that that one should be clear. You should get a Tank once you rescue them.

The second one is harder. Rebuild you original force and send you tanks like last time. But once the fog of war clears use the cyrobomb to freeze the defences and focus on them 1 by 1. use the hornets to mop up infantry.

The last one use your remaining force and take out the defences.

You should now be in control of the group you needed to save. ( because the pelican retreats )

Now with you complete army micro control them back to you base and make sure they stay as a group, and with that you should complete the level.

This should work as it did with me

Thanks I will try that. But what about the shield EMP jammer stuff to extend the time?

Bumbuliuz:Thanks I will try that. But what about the shield EMP jammer stuff to extend the time?

I jammed the one closest to the base, which is usally enough because i think its not worth wasting units/resources trying to get the emp thing to the other ones, but if you need more time go for it.

yea idk if im just stupid but i couldnt find the other 3 pylons and that just pissed me off, i looked all over the map...

incoming fire has the right of way

u can't kill the missya

You could do what I did on heroic. Send 4 scorpions to the first one and canister shell the turrents. Try to position it so that only one of them can shoot the tanks at a single time. Cryo bomb the swarms if you can afford it. Canister shell the other turrents whenever you can. After you get your grizzly, heal them and move over to the next one. Do the same you did with the 1st for the 2nd and 3rd. It should be easy.

It's not worth it to build hornets. They get owned by the swarms and the long range flood turrents.

You can obviously build more that 4 scorpions if you do not feel safe with 4. After you clear 3, just select all units and move them to the evac point. The trasher forms that follow will be too slow to damage anything, but if you so wish, you could cryo bomb them.

Potatoes will rule the world!!!

Just place a Gremlin (I think it's Gremlins) next to the tractor beams and it'll blow it out and you'll get more time to do it. If you do this on all four of them you'll get an achievement.

Yeah I placed on or two Gremlins and used the EMP but then I just created an army of Scorpions and blew the crap out of them. I finishd with three seconds left though.

Wolverines are much better than Scorpions against the Flood Turrets and they also help against the swarms. (Don't forget to use their special ability)

I'm sure that I was pointed to each of the pylons whilst playing so pay attention if you can't find them, but basically once you've cleared your way through to the first group the pylon is just by that location (you see it in the intro vid)

It is much easier to do if you find all the pylons (I didn't find any other than the first the first time I played through and got my ass handed to me aswell!

I give no Mercy.
I feel no Regret.
That's the Truth.
I am the Hierarch or Hierarchs
I am the Prophet of Pain....

I did the mission back to front which helped alot

 I first built about 5 tanks and 2 gremlins as well and i went and took the pylon to the far east of your base

 I then cleared the charlie landing area so i got a hold of the spartans straight away and they done some serious damage

I then continued to clear Bravo and Alpha

 becuase the last area i cleared was alpha i didnt have as much ground to cover in the last objective (The Pelican gets attacked so you have to make your way back to your base for pickup there) the tank also moves faster which speeds up the final objective.

 The other two pylons are located at the top of map beside alpha base and charlie base.

 Hope this helps

I also recommend that if u use tanks upgrade to the canister shell special attack

remember to use the cyro bomb on the swarms

 

 

 

 

The pylons are in each corner of the map. One at your base, one on the opposite of the map, one in the right cornor from your base and opposite to that one.

So there one next to your base, one in the middle of nowhere, one near a bunch of guys you need to save and one other near the Flood boss.

This, by far, was the most frustrating to figure out. I spent the first few minutes setting up. But the technique worked. I did not equip myself for marines. I set up a Vehicle Depo and set about upgrading that. I built four tanks and equiped the Canister shells. I then set up Volley for the Wolverines as they are effective at cleaning up the air units. From there I rolled in on Charlie Squad first. It made the most sense. If you save them first the SPARTANs
