We took a good hard look at the Brute Chopper and while we are still concerned about buffing it to much, we did decide that the damage against air craft was not where a scout unit should be. As such we are buffing Brute Chopper auto-cannon damage to do more damage to air units at the same rate as other scout units.

On the Brute chopper we have discussed if we want to buff it, but our feeling at the moment is that the Brute Chieftain is quite good as it is and buffing the Brute chopper may well make the leader become over powered. The brute chopper is not useless as it can still be used early game to bully the other scouts in order to out collect ...

There is no date official or unofficial at this point for a potential TU. We will update you when we have one. In an potential upcoming title update we are investigating making the following balance changes to Halo Wars, as such I am opening up for feedback as we continue work on refining our balance pass.   Balance Changes 1. Buffing ...

Elecbound:Units in cover gain a *2 multiplier for damage. That only applies to the grunt squad and the marine squad. All infantry do gain resistance to damage though. 

Teknishun:Marines: 44 = 11 *4 New Blood: 55 = 11*5 RPG: 68.75 = 11*1.25*5 Medic: 82.5 = 11*1.25*6 ODST: 103.1 = 11*1.25*1.25*6   That make it clear?   This is correct FYI. 

TheProfeshonal:Well while we're on the Banshee line.. What's bounty mean? and is there a chart to see how much veterancy points get for each type of unit you kill?  If my banshee needs 40 X to get a star, then how much is he getting when he takes down a tank, or marine, or a wolverine somehow..  o_O Bounty is how much XP a ...

Few corrections here (Aloysius and I are still getting all of this set up for everyone so bear with us) First the banshee has two weapons, and it uses only the appropriate one for the job at hand, specifically the banshee will use the fuel rod cannon against only ground vehicles or buildings, and the plasma cannon against all other ...

Cheesypoof999: Booban:Greande on the hog is the same grenade infantry use. They are all the same.  I'm not 100% but I remember them saying they are two completely different things, and that Hogs and Wolverines will not be affected. They are the same, when the balance patch goes live Wolverines will do 25% more damage against ...

I have updated the frint post as well, but here are the quick final notes. Final:: Gauss damage with a 0.6 modifier (down from 0.8), which is a 50.0% damage boost instead of a 100% damage boost against tanks over earlier warthogs. Final:: Warthogs will take 3 additional seconds to the build (25 seconds). Final:: Anders research bonus changed to ...

Reposting here ate the end as well for readers skipping to this point.  *** Note: Updated with better info on the ranges we are narrowing down to for the balance changes *** Balance changes::  1.  Gauss warthog gauss cannon damage bonus against units with heavy armor (Scorpions, Wraiths, Scarabs, Locusts) reduced so that tanks ...
