flood infection forms got fucked by those tanks

[imaokahanshin]

I dont get it. If the flood was released at Halo CE for the first time, how can it be in Halo Wars if it happened before Halo CE?

[braveheart6991]

@imaokahanshin because the flood has been a perasitic life form since before the forerunners, and the flood is the reason that the Halo rings were built and the reason that onyx was built, and the reason that the forerunners nmo longer egsist,

because they sacreficed themselves to "make a better world for us".

[Conuiron]

What are those ships that keep landing on your pad?

[braveheart6991]

@Conuiron suply ships!

[gaminfool6]

@Conuiron supply ships

VULTURE?? CANT YOU MAKE A VULTURE?

[HuntrBlackLuna]

The fact that rescuing the Spartans gives you permanent sight on the target, combined with the Carpet Bomb ability, makes this level the easiest in the history of the universe. Just sit in your base and send Carpet Bombs until the thing falls over, ta-da. Although I'm kinda glad you didn't do that, it would make for a less interesting vid than this.

[KooKookid520]

I really wish they had made flood playable in skrimish. Maybe a bonus for beating the game oon legendary or something.

[sundossa]

Why couldn't the SoF just mac blast all the flood buildings -.-"

[dotermann1]

Good, great, extreme or O.M.G good great extreme!!!!!. ? Well it gotta bbe, O.M.G good great extreme!!!!! NICE VID! :D

[NoobSnoopy]

[2210KooL]

wow dood how many times have u played this game seriously u know every possible question! lol and nice 5/5

[littlebear1191]

do you really need that many tanks!!!!

[MrHaloman12]

this is a really great walkthrough. Do you think you could do a walkthrough on mission 12. Would be a great help if you havent already posted one.

[Wolfwood824]

Yes, I do have every mission up except 1 and 3.

[Diannalover]

I am just loving this walkthrough, it's superb? Sorry to hear that the disk got damaged, but I hope that you can either replace, repair or rent a new one so you can finish the guide, it's quite excellent.

Quick question, what effect does putting a Spartan onto a Scorpion have, and are Scorpions the only vehicles that can receive this benefit?

[Wolfwood824]

Putting a Spartan in any vehicle gives it/allows it to have more stars (veterency). The exact effects differ by vehicle, but more stars generally = more powerful.

IIRC, a unit can normally only have 3 stars (4 for certain campaign units), but a Spartan-controlled vehicle can have up to 14 stars. For reference, a 14-star Scorpion will eat a Scarab for lunch.

I believe Halo Wars' official site has more info on veterency somewhere.

[Wolfwood824]

And actually, I replaced my Halo Wars disc a couple of weeks ago; I've just been busy with my Zero Hour videos.

[Diannalover]

Thanks for the clarification and that very thorough answer, that's really quite helpful. Good to hear that the disks have been replaced, so keep up the good work!

While I'm on the subject, will you be doing a walkthrough of the first three missions of Halo Wars?

[Wolfwood824]

I might do mission 2; 1 and 3 aren't really difficult enough to warrant a video though, IMO.

[Wolfwood824]

Oh, I missed something about the Spartans; not only do they give the veterancy boosts, but they also give +15% to damage and defense, with an extra 15% for each upgrade they have (so a Spartan w/laser would give +60% to attack and defense).

I'm not exactly sure what bonuses the Spartans in the campaign give, though, since you don't upgrade them there.

[Diannalover]

re: first three missions; fair enough.

And thanks for all the details on the Spartan bonuses. Much appreciated!

[pkantonpk]

when u play at legenda is enemys harder or have they more hp?

[Wolfwood824]

Yes, enemies are harder to kill, do more damage, and are better upgraded compared to the other difficulties (Hunters and Jackals are particularly nasty in this regard).

You'll also be attacked earlier and more often in any mission where you have some sort of a base.

[jonny9876543]

These videos are so great! I did missions 1-3 all by myself, then attempted 4. I managed to do it with your video with no problem. I then did mission 5 all by myself. After that, i'v done all the missions with your help! Keep them coming, they're great.
