I love The diferences between the Brute Grunt Squad and The elite Brute squad. The Elite is respectful and praise his Grunts commorades The Brute mistreat and disrespect them, like they were vermin.
Grunts almost overthrew high charity at some point because the prophets refused to respond to a event where the jackals poisoned their methane supplies. It took an arbiter and almost the glassing of the grunts homework’s to get them to stop. So the elites hold respect for the grunts cause when they have a actual drive to fight they are just as good as the marines. They also had access to better weaponry and even integrated the Unggoy into formerly Sangheili-only units.
Grunts are extremely smart but to save costs and to run for longer their methane tanks are set to give them the minimum to live, they get an equivalent of hipoxia (low oxigen to the brain)
The only RTS I can think of that did that was the Dawn of War. Actually, it was more than that, it allowed you to create and customise set colour schemes for each faction.
On real battlefield the Scarab it’s a too large and too slow target which can be shot easily from the air by swift aircraft like a bunch of Hornets, Hawks or Falcons
@@HwangInhoBooNam Except it is covered head to toe in heavy armor, along the fact that it can use surface to air missiles that can take care of enemy air units. Add in the fact that it also has its own form of energy shield that can mitigate even more damage, the Banished scarab is both an offensive and defensive power house
Fun fact:Damian Haas is the voice of all the warthog drivers from halo wars 2,he's also the voice actor of young master chief from halo:the fall of reach.
Well, most jackals returned to their pirate/mercenaries lifes afther the fall of the Covenant so it makes some sense they not beeing with The Banished since this faction its all about freedom ideology and all members are with them by choise (except maybe grunts but by this point most grunts in the army probably were born being already members of the Banished anyway), so they are probably not jackals with them just because jackals didn't wanted to join.
I just love how they brought back the original designs for the spartans, and went back to more bungie style designs for this game. What makes it better is that this game takes place the year AFTER halo 5, so it gives me a good feeling about the art style of halo 6. Make it happen 343!
They went back to the old artstyle because it makes no sense how the SOFs crew would get Mk V armor when they were in cryo sleep since before halos were widely feared
I haven't played any Halo Game before, but I saw Vids and what I like about Halo Wars 2 is that they didn't just went back to "better" designs, they combined theirs with Bungis designs and it looks good.
Wesley Miles the artstyle director for halo wars 2 is leading the art production in infinite I heard so we will be getting the combined art styles which in my opinion, is better than 343 and bungies style
A few years late, but they definitely proved their worth before, with The Grunt Rebellion, which actually got bad enough that a goddamn Arbiter was appointed to deal with it, back in the days of the Covenant.
I gotta say, the cololossus from Johnson really looks like the offspring of the Mantis and the Salenthrapous from MGSV. Im trying to leverage my way into getting halo wars 2 complete editon soon, and this hyped me up.
You know after seeing this, I was thinking they should make a game which is like Halo Spartan Strike and Assault, but with Halo Wars 2 vehicles. Think about, you get to play as Jerome or other Spartans and fight the Banished. Or take control of Voridus or Pavium and wipe out humanity. With all the halo weapons, even promethean weapons, and vehicles that are in this game. Overall, I think it would be awesome.
Too bad those games werent as popular as halo wars I like the concept of the game And the co op vs the flood was fun I like how halo has diffrent type of games and not all has to be fps
Not really, before they were forced into the covenant the grunts were REALLY smart and technology advanced, so they would know how to operate most machinery but they're seen as small and useless and defenseless, they also arent bred for combat, hence why they're always running away, but I can why a grunt is driving a locust
Daybreak literally what, their only similarities are that they both have Australian. And sniper isn't even Australian. There is nothing similar between each other.
It's interesting that you can tell what species pilots the banished vehicle by listening to the pilot's speech. Elites: Ghosts, Wraiths, Banshees, Shrouds and Phantoms. Brutes: Choppers, Reaver, Marauders, Blisterbacks, Scarabs(normal and volatile), and Wraith-invaders. Grunts: Locusts and Methane Wagon. Some of these are more obvious than others. Funny seeing how the Brute vehicles mostly have visible exhaust emissions, while the elite vehicles (mostly originally covenant built) mostly have no emissions.
Hectorlo The Cobra would’ve been useless in Halo Wars 2. It was antivehicle vehicle. The Cyclops is better. They aren’t countered by everything. A Cyclops is antivehicle but is infantry. Not only does it actually do something and makes sense to actually use unlike in Halo Wars 1, they also give purpose to infantry which are useless by late game except for getting the points.
David Firesword, a late reply on my part, but are you really saying that the Cobra was useless in the first Halo Wars? It was the only counter-unit that could effectively kill two types of targets: vehicles and buildings. I'm also skeptical about the useless late game infantry argument because of the existence of Spartans, ODSTs and Hunters.
Ratio Tile But the downside was that Hunters, which are antivehicle, are infantry. The Cyclops does what the Cobra does, but not at the expense of being countered. The Cyclops and the Hunters in Halo Wars 2 don't Counter each other, so they are no longer one sided. Sure, jackals will wreck you, but again that's what the Hellbringers are used for, and they are cheap compared to Cyclops. And while yes, Scarabs will still mess your day up... they are Scarabs. They are usually expected to tear shit up. The Cobra was good, being antivehicle, but it just had such a bad downside. You had to have a mostly vehicle based army just to keep things effective, with Scorpions to handle the Hunters that will inevitably be used against you. I'm just saying. They made the Cyclops actually useful, outside of being only used to repair, without the expense of a unit. The downside of the Cobra was that it had nothing against infantry in any way. A Cyclops is infantry, so it doesn't get countered by Hunters, and it still does it's intended job. I would rather have the Cobra, cause Kodiak shoot like mortars, and those don't hit anything vehicle related unless they are ass slow, in which case you expect to fire on those enemies. The more immediate threats like Ghosts and Wraiths to some extent are what you need to handle, and Kodiaks aren't very capable of doing that job effectively.
Ok, if I understood this correctly, then you are saying that in a match-up of anti-vehicle units, the Hunters would beat Cobras and that it's a bad thing. But you were never supposed to beat Hunters with Cobras (or any vehicle at all), you used air units or infantry. It discouraged you from just spamming the same type of unit and added additional strategy elements to the game. That's the one thing that disappointed me about Halo Wars 2- the counter unit types were the same for both sides (Cyclops and Hunters -infantry, Reaver and Wolverine - vehicle, Snipers and Rangers - infantry). In the first Halo Wars, the counter units were more diverse in their types. Wolverines were vehicles while Vampires were air units, Hunters were infantry while Cobras were vehicles.
I want a planetside 2 like halo game with full scale continental war and stuff. it'd be so sick. And maybe even space battles too. And it has all these vehicles to play in as well. I like bog shooty.
The last couple of characters or affects explains or the crop circles from the 90s and before then and also some of thoe classes were amazing is their anyway we can make hybrid characters or cross humans or flood or flood and sentinels or wat not even possibly making new characters eventually.
I could have sworn a banished leader had a leader power similar to Eradication but the opposite. Started in the center then branched outward. It wasn't rain of fire, glassing beam, or eradication. I thought Decimus had it but I juts scrolled through this video and it doesn't exist?
Upgrading marines, mastodon tanks and calling omega team and combining them (except for leon) was so fucking funny and broken. A single tank would shoud rockets permanently from the marines and on top of that plasma and railgun bolts from the omega spartans. it was my favourite playstyle by far.
One thing I am not a fan of with Halo Wars 2 is the color scheme of the units. You either get Blue or Red, that's pretty much it. And if you are doing teams, you just get slight different shades of Blue or Red mostly. I really wished they would have given players more options. The only other thing I am not a fan of is the limited maps you can play on when it comes to your Skirmish matches. You get like three smaller maps that support 1v1 or 2v2 or (I think) like five larger maps that can support 1v1, 2v2, or 3v3. It would be neat if they added more map variety as well as the options for some 3 way matches such as 1v1v1 or 2v2v2. Sadly though, they won't be adding or updating anything more to the game at this point.
27:17, if you didn't read the forerunner saga... that's pretty much it.
