I just beat an arbiter rush myself, made 3 warthogs with gunner, locked down my base, made my first 2 turrents, and then started spamming flamethrowers

When arbiter got there i used my hogs to micro manage him around constantly getting shot at by my turrents and hogs, then when his army of hunters got here, i pulled my hogs back and released all of the flamethrowers, they devastated his arbiter, then finished off the hunters

From there i made my second base, built a second reactor and got the grenadiar upgrade

I made 6 more warthogs and flung them backaround my base and took the long way to behind his

A smart arbiter player like he was, would know if i had nothing but a few warthogs and flamethrowers, banshees would be the way to go, and thats what he did, about 2 minutes later when i had a good 10 or so warthogs behind his base, his army of 20+ banshees hit, i had built a few marines as well to try to beat down a few and upgraded my turrents with missle launchers, this halved his army, and as soon as he struck mine ii went charging into his with my warthogs

during the time i had taken his expansion base he never bothered to claim, so i could keep a steady supply of warthogs from there, his base fell about a second before mine luckily

Was a pretty awesome game

Sometimes its best just to not ask...
Halt2010 = gt, add me if u want

There is no timeline...time isn't made out of liinnness, its made out of circles -.-
Thats why clocks are round

Thanks turkey Your post was brilliant i enjoyed reading it.

Yours sounded like a good game halt :P but why did the arbiter not just rage the *** out of your hogs or did you drop a bomb?

And are marines really that good at killing banshees?

Oh and i have another question about banshee's totally off topic, he can build 20 banshee's so quick yeah, what would you do if he took control of the map with them because banshees are so hard to kill early off with out base defences to help you, he did it to me and by i got a 3rd generator to attack he had so many recourses coming in, it wouldnt matter how many wolverines i had.

Many thanks.

He probably moved his warthogs around constantly to avoid the Arbiter rage. If you move around the whole time your units still shoot at him. This is a tactic used against all special abilites whether it be Cov or UNSC. Moving around also makes it hard to get cryobombed and also avoid carpet bombs as  well. MAC Blasts are usually a direct shot but still help a lot.

everyone seems to forget flashbangs.  I belive they were partially ment to fend off a rush because at that point it's easy to micro manage and most of what the enemy would bring are infantry.
