The previous Ask a Mod Threads were pretty good at getting information out to the Community, so I have decided to start a new one.

Only post questions in this thread that you want answered by a mod. If you find your post deleted or moved, it wasn't appropriate for the Ask a Mod Thread or had already been answered.

Every few pages I will go through and copy paste the questions into the first post to make it easier to read.

Here's a few frequently asked questions:

Q: When is Halo Wars coming out?
A: February 26th in Asia/Pacific, February 27th in Europe and the Middle East, and March 3rd in North and South America.

Q: What's the difference between the Standard and Limited Edition versions of the game?
A: The LE comes with everything the regular edition does, but also a Patch you can put on your favorite jacket, collectible Leader Cards giving more information about the 6 leaders in the game, a graphic novel showing more background information on Halo Wars, a Honor Guard skin for the Wraith Tank, and the Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack.

Q: How do I get the Flaming Warthog skin?
A: You get it by pre-ordering either the Limited or Regular editions of the game.

Q: Can Spartans Jack Scarabs?
A: No.

Q: What's the population count for both sides?
A: It varies in certain multiplayer types, but in most games it's 30 (upgradeable to 40) for UNSC and 40 (upgradeable to 50) for Covenant.

Q: How come certain units aren't in the Game Info section?
A: We have left leader-specific units out of the game to leave something of a surprise for people.

Q: Is there a Legendary Difficulty?
A: Yes there is.

Ask away!

Yes, Rhinos appear in the campaign.

Yam Head:

Is the arbiters rage ability controlled by the player like in the same manner as the prophets cleansing beam and brute chieftans vortex (ex. You move it around with the thumbsticks.)

Yes, you can direct him around with the thumbsticks. It also zooms in really close when he does it.
