    3 Minute POR Locust Rush? (With Video)

    It's not the best out there, but the game was played like a few months ago, at 1 in the morning. Not the greatest thing, just found it in my collection of build order tests.

     It's a Locust Rush build, then switches to Wraiths. You can delay the second Locust and get Blessed Immolation instead.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUi9wzP7hgU

    Build is:

    • (1/5)Temple
    • (2/5)Warehouse
    • (2/5)Honor Guard
    • (3/5)Warehouse, Scout
    • (4/5)Warehouse
    • (4/5)Blessed Warehouse
    • (5/5)Factory
    • (5/5)3 Locusts (Rush after second one is queued, assuming no Hard Vehicle Counters)
    • (5/5)Blessed Warehouse
    • (5/5)Wraiths/EHGs
    • (5/5)Heavy Shield/Honor Guard (After like 2 or 3 Wraiths)

    Tech to Citadel or get Blessed Immolation.

    If you're good, you rush at like 3:00 flat.

     Try not to flame/troll. Thanks.

    You could actually do this better if you went for your elevator first, and took the reactor on that side.

    Good video.

    I was expecting one of those halowarselite.com bullsh*t where they "Rush" at 9 minutes on a heroic AI.

    Good fight.

    But it says "3 minute rush" in the title. 

    EDIT:  Lol, halowarselite... 

    The banshee rush:  W-W-T-W-S, upgrade warehouses, pump banshees, maybe get boost, I dunno.  Then at 8 minutes attack the normal AI.

    I meant when I first saw the thread xD

    xD The guy who makes those videos really does suck at halo wars.  He was doing a "Ghost Rush" and he got his first ghost out at like, 7 minutes or something at T1.

    Re: 3 Minute POR Locust Rush? (With Video)

    Getting Elevator first does drop it by about 10 seconds.

    However, if you went Elevator first and Factory fourth, you have a strong enough econ to get the first Locust out 30 seconds earlier. Thanks for the hint!

    And thanks, I wasn't expecting something nice, especially from Korther :]

    I always appreciate good video's and strats.  I'm going to try this on an AI--see if I can get it down then maybe try it out on some nubs since I'm starting off on a new account xD

    when you go for the reactor, go for the closest supply elevator to you first and take that, then get the reactor on the same side of the map. this helps with upgrading your warehouses, and since you dont need the reactor until around 2:30 it works too.

    Re: 3 Minute POR Locust Rush? (With Video)

    I didn't really think about the fact that I didn't need the Reactor til like 2:30. Thanks for that hint too!

    So the 4/5 Factory Build results in my first Locust coming out at 2:37.
