  • 240p for safety?

  • Have you ever played against a REAL opponent?

  • worst rush ive ever seen

    1v1 me

  • what a stupid A.I. he could just throw a disruption bomb

  • take the barracks out first tard

  • Lock base. Spam flamethrowers. Unlock base, own Prophet + EHGs. Send flamers over to opponent base, keep pressure on them. Get hogs or, if you feel like taking the piss, a Spartank. Either way, you steamroll the Prophet base.

  • Bad rush honestly a counter to this would be a second base and some turret hogs. Not to count leader powers and turrets.

  • I just played an Auto(121) match on chasms against the prohpet. he rushed in the exact same way. without upgrades the prophet dies near instantly and could only get 1 honour guard through the teleporter. by this point i had got another hog out bringing my total to 4. i rushed in blew up 2 warehouses got a 5th warthog out and grenadier. the temple was destroyed quickly and by the time i had 8 hogs out the base blew up and but 7 honour guard to finish off. basically this rush would fail Anders-FTW

  • by the point you have made it to my base im already out building damaghing you with warthogs!

  • lol wow i can counter ur rush so well alll u have to do is lock your base and make allll flame throwers remember 1-2-3-4-5 elite honor guards and a prophet takes a LONG time to destroy a base u can lock your base and make 12 flame throwers before u have to worry about ur base dieing

  • Failure. One locked base and a few flamethrowers and you're screwed.

  • Elite honor guard? Are you kidding me?

  • The covenant is so poorly constructed relative the the usmc. When starcraft 2 comes out I doubt I'd ever play this game again.

  • This tactic is old. And easy to counter. Check out my vids for a much better Covenant rush..AND! the counter to that rush! With commentary! 3/5 for this vid.

  • My rush on Covenant using the Prophet is build a temple first and build alot of warehouse (I build SG for defending base).

    And I spam train Honor Guards on base. =P

  • rushing is easy to counter all you have to do is build up starting units like marines,grunts ,warthogs,etc and when the person does rush youll be ready and if he fails then send an immediat attack at his base

  • Or maybe it's the last game of ensemble studios, and they are the shiznit at rts?

  • Oh i didnt know that iw was the last sorry everyone

  • Dylan, dude. I'll put a halo on you and make you shut up right now.

  • You realize that was 3 months ago right?

  • What is? O.O

  • The comment i left

  • I just notice now. >.>

  • wow is this a joke whats your rank? mines 2 star its not that good but most high ranks know how to counter everything

  • Oops, sorry. I was thinking of 2v2.

  • Little do people know that on this map, the Covenant can FOIL a bum rush by simply planting their temple on a socket hook instead of on the base itself.

    A plus is that once your leader (I was the Prophet) has generated, just have him sit just in the range of the neutral base, and he will easily eliminate everything by himself, essentially giving you a free base!

  • U should expect it whilst not rushing like scouting their base or building turrets steadily

  • bad stradegy

  • I dont think Real time strategy games are for you. Try turn based if you dont wanna be rushed. And if your getting rushed all the time, you can rush a strong defense, which will ruin the opponents rush, and then counter with heavily upgraded units. Just a thought, but rushing is a coin toss, if it doesnt work, then that guy has nothing to use against a counter. A way I counter a rush is lock down units and when the time comes, unload em, and protect my valuable structures.

  • Rushing is a strategy. It tries to exploit people who take time to set up a fully upgraded army. It is important to always have a way to defend against the rush. If you can't, then you shouldn't expect to rank up anyway.

  • rushing is fucked up man i tried it wit fucking scorpies no play with covonent make scarab then some locuses and with arbyter as hero and you dont need to rush

  • you dont rush with scorpions they are expensive and not good u might as well go with grimlin rush or worthog rush there so much better in a rush easy to train and dont cost that much

  • lmfao? scorpion rush is the most effective lol.

  • Rushing is a stradegy....

  • i agree rushing makes itso hard to rank up and it ruins the fun of having gigantic battles with crap loads of super units

  • thats why you play Deathmatch...

  • i think this is a bad rush. yea, it worked, but i just think theres an easier quicker way. instead of the expensive, slow building honor guards, you should just make barracks and pump out grunts. alot faster and cheaper

  • @JumpToChorus but see the point is trying to stop them from building is you take your time getting grunts up he (if that person is experienced) he will have flamethrowers up. i do this rush sometimes with the brute i think its better the using the prophet.

  • You should of destroyed the barracks first, resources don't do anything if they can't make decent units.

  • This strategy would work great vs. Anders, and especially if the player only goes warthogs. However I have seen a lot of regrets die because they can't target warthogs, it depends if the player can hit them. Elite honor guards become great defense and offense early attack.

  • first rushing isnt really fun second ur always suppose to destroy barracks air pad and vehicle things first

  • the this would never work on a real person cause all you would have to do is lock the base and when you have about 5 flames and a few unsc and use your disrupt bomb but if your in a 1v1 and you know the other suck then it will work

  • if you lock your base and train flamethrowers then i will continue teleporting in jackals

  • Hmmm, I don't normally play UNSC, but why not use D-Bomb while training flames if you have the credits, might help a little.

  • i dont play unsc either but i was attacking this guy's base once and i was in a turret blindspot, he dropped a d-bomb on me and i was pinned there so his warthog could kill me

  • it probably sucks if you have to demonstrate against AI

  • Heroic AI are actually challenging. Try it.

  • no, they aren't

  • they really arent

  • actualy this rush is classic and alot of people do it

  • Covenant ftw

    unsc can suck my balls

  • @killnewb covenant have balls O_O

  • @killnewb So who won the war?

  • @killnewb

    Anders > Cutter > Forge > Arby > Prophet > Brute. Notice how all the UNSC leaders are at the top end.

  • @jimmyboyG485

    Some major tactics the covenant sed in the story were not in Halo Wars.

    And the only reason unsc wi alot is because of gauss hog/sparrowhawk spam.

  • @killnewb

    The reason UNSC win alot is because of Scorpions, simple as that.

  • i usually just send prophet off thwe bat and right when hes ther just keep pumpin out honor guards and get them al to kill the enemies right when they come out

  • Terrible rush. You should have taken out the barracks first. That would have made it a whole lot easier.

  • y did u put the rally point next to the teleporter? u should have put it ON the teleporter

  • 4 the guy was under attack he should of built 2 turrets at the back and put his base on lock down and built up an army and kicked his ass and he could of used his mac blast as he was Cutter

  • its against ai dude

  • I've taken down rusher with up graded marines. I like surrounding 'em and blowin' 'em up with their rockets. then slowly make my way to their base. Thou one time I had this guy who took down my entire base with just a prophet within 3 minutes of playing. How embarrassing!

  • i usually build 3 or 4 warehouses after the temple, then build a few honor guards and continue building them. then if they sneak off and build another base before they die, build a shield generator and maybe vehicle depot or something. and obviously put your rally point in the hot drop right away. but if your leader dies, your rush strategy is kinda screwed.

  • i think you should have upgrade your base when you were recking his base at 5:05 because if he somehow survived you wouldnt be doing to well later and You were certain to finish of the base.

  • i hate rushers they never take their time.

  • it wouldnt really be a rush if they did.......

  • that barracks should've died long ago.

  • brute does the same thinfg

  • u know u could justput the rally point into the hot drop, they automatically hot drop after coming out of the portal-thingy

  • People fighting with comments about Halo Wars? Can you say NERRRRD FIGGHHTT!?!

  • i would own you at this game easily

  • wow i didnt remember honor guards being so good against marines

  • rushing is soo gayy

    it wrecks online

    halo wars will never be a good online game beccouse off people like u

  • dude learn how to speel

  • Haha, the more people like you bitch about rushing, the funnier it is. Are you stupid enough to not be able to counter rush? Rushing is what makes Halo Wars more strategically advanced. I'm not going to just sit at my base and say "I'll just wait until he is done building all his units so its harder to kill him". Everyone who thinks rushing is for noobs has probably lost to a leader rush and now is mad because they didn't know how to counter. Noob...

  • Comment removed

  • i think its more the stigma behind rushing, if you break it down its just throwing start units at an enemy, in comparison to controlling an entire army, using their abilities, knowing weakness, strength etc etc.

    in my opinion its just another tactic just like all the others. and can go either way ^^ i also think halo as an fps is better than halo as a rts

  • true to your idea of halo being better as an FPS but i was really surprised how well halo wars turned out, they really kept to a halo atmosphere.

  • Ok if they want to controll a whole army verse another whole army then play Deathmatch. But the human units are made to be stronger than alien units, so being a covenant and not rushing is a simple loss against good players.

  • Actually covenant is the best to counter UNSC super units. Jackals shit on ODST's, Hunters shit on Grizzlies and Vampires shit on Hawks, So you can be good with the Covenant without rushing. You just actually need to be... smart. That's how I roll. It's not like I would wait 15 minutes and leave my enemy alone, but I always keep him in check and see what he's doing while my army is being built.

  • That's true, I agree that being smart is the only solution. But then Carpet bomb shits on Hunters and Cyro bomb shits on Vampires. And you have to remember that UNSC can build counter units to counter those counter units. So yeah, best thing to do is scout and be smart.

  • Cyro Bokmb does almost nothing to Vampires ive tried it doesn't work.

  • Upgrade it...

  • That only makes it bigger not stronger...

  • The more it's upgraded the more vampires you kill...

  • no It DOESNT KILL THEM!

  • I could bet $50 on that

  • Hunters are not very good vs. grizzlies, and worse if they have spartans. Covenant is harass and assault, you don't seem to know them well enough. Better to have banshees vs. grizzlies.

  • RUSHING IS FOR NOOBS THAT DONT KNOW HOW TO PLAY!! i just scount and counter what they have. if the person you are faceing is covinent then just resine if you are doing a 3v3 and all of them are covinent then just build up diffense

  • retard

  • Rushing is not for noobs. If you cant counter a rush then you are truely a noob. Rush tactics are key components in all RTS games. I take it that this is your first RTS you have ever played, other wise you would know this.

  • Yea i bet you are a noob who can't play when a real game happens when you don't attack them within 4 minutes and have to win by making sure they are not ready

  • are you mentally retarded or just ignorant? 'real game'? rushing is a legitimate tactic in any rts game...you're just an idiotic 'noob' who's used to bitching about things in halo and then started to cry when you lost to a rush

  • NO i have stopped almost every rush that noobs like you have tried to do and then i come back and rape them cause once it fails they suck at the game

  • and by spamming nothing but super units to 'rape' them, you are proving that you're much 'better'?

  • Comment removed

  • You could just put the flag rally point on the teleporter so u didnt have to look back at ur base every 30 seconds

  • this is the demo when people were just learning the game he didnt know

  • the human guy should have locked his base so they all come at once. that would have been easier for him to kill the prophet without getting his units spawn killed.

  • i am getting tired of people crying about other people rushing

    IT IS A STRATEGY

    so shut the fuck up and grow up and try and counter it

    they are not that hard to counter

  • lol rushing in this game is dumb. EVERYONE on xbox live tries to do this to me. the same every single time, professor anders always uses hawks, then forge uses only grizzlys and cutter always mass odst amounts, the noob who do this get owned easily. if your one of those people think of better tactics.

  • Well, although I agree with you, I think that the main reason people do this is simply because it works! Unless your opponent can figure out exactly what you're planning to do (which they can usually) using your special abilities to your advantage is usually an excellent card to play.

    The key is to not make an entire army of just one thing. Then you're just begging to get Wolverined or Cobrad. (If those coun as verbs now...)

  • rushing can be countered..even though i rush when im being a total idiot. but usually plant some turrets and flamers along with a few warthogs before i go into the enemy base with others.

    i also keep a close look on my base.

  • thats probly just your rushes but if its 2-2 its very affective,and it depends on what you use to rush

  • I don't really know why people rush. I mean I assume that some people rush in order to try to get to general faster but rushing actually gets less points than playing a full length game (and it's not like you can rush to general anyway considering that you need 3,200,000 points). Although I never get tired of the rushes that fail so epically that the rushing team resigns because those are just plainly funny.

  • i just rush if i know i have to leave or i wanna piss off my friends (ha :) but i dont like the spirit of rushing so i usually do my best to see if the enemy is rushing so i can counter...

  • no rush is gay because they can all be countered. Flamethrowers anyone?

  • shields anyone?

    throw a cleansing beam in for good measure and you're winning.

  • rushing is for noobs with no form of real strategy, the only reason they have power is because noobs show noobs how to rush on youtube, learn to play for real people, they let u train 40 units for a reason

  • I see that rushing is as hated in RTS, as camping in FPS, but like it or not, the only noob people, are those complaining, and losing to this LEGAL -maybe honorless-TACTIC.

    Rushing is part of every RTS game, if you played RTS before you should know that.

    Some ppl like to grow fat in tech and army and study all and then attack... so, if you like making buildings and population, play sim city or something.

  • i usually am either prophet or arbiter and fully upgrade them as soon as possible Usually 7 mins if they try and rush and fail which they usually do if you do this right if they are warthog rushing and you are the arbiter they are dead arbiter kill warthogs in about 2 hits with arbiters rage kills gaus hogs no problem once fully upgraded try and get 1 scarab dont worry about 2 put leader at the front to take the damage so the scarab can sit back and shoot the base.

  • What kind of dumb ass are you? The enemy can easily drop a Disruption Bomb and nullify your Arbiter's Rage ability.

  • yeah but you can only have one disruption bomb per five minutes dumb fuck even if they put it down you move him if he dies you rebuild him instantly before they got the diruption bomb back

  • Are you really that retarted? After a bomb, you can easily close in a leader and fuck him up on every side, destroy the opponent's Temple and there will be no rebuild leader you idiot. GOD, you're such a BITCH

  • most people dont build turrets and shit because were not expecting fags to rush

    im lvl 39 in 1v1 standard and i still get rushed by fags. I build turrets and odst you can couter them easily. But any covenant rush is still good.

  • rushers suck cock dude

  • This is a weak rush because they could build turrets and infantry by the time you get enough honor gaurds to finish them.

  • I just rushed some 1 with the brute rush and one in about 2 mins his gamer tag was :sen bob dole

  • it just annoys me when im playing 3 on 3 and a whole team is cutters and build elephants and starts like building and unending supply of odst's

  • Rushing can be countered with a group of 'nade spamming marines. The only type of rush which is near impossible to repel is a Pelican rush and it takes some time to prepare.

  • pelican rush is like a 99% kill

  • ahh, the classic bum rush.

  • Prophet & Arbiter rushes are easy to counter. You just have to know how. Basically what you want to do as human is try and build asap 5 anti-infantries and 2 turrets. That should cripple the first wave. After that you should try and build your army and destroy the temple first, the prophet or arby will most likely have powered up their leader powers.

  • Lol what is so bad about rushing? Is it because it's better then your turtle defense? Or maybe because they want to get done as fast aspossible.

  • its the fact that theres absolutely no skill involved in spamming stuff... if you spam nades in halo 3 your usually just too shit to fall back on your aiming skills... same thing applies here (except theres no aiming skills xD)

  • halo wars is so gay now because of al the gay rushers!

  • dont let them rush you see what they are building then build whatever counters that. after they attack you they lose. then you attack right after because they wont have anyone to protecet it or not many people at least. i have a record of 36 and 5 using that only no rushing. well i rushed 2 times but that was when i was a noob :)

  • Anyone who is looking for a good rush strategy on youtube is dumb. Because these arnt good rushes. ask LsSf Gandolf he is ranked 10 as prophet of regret.

  • this guy sucks he is attacking the building on the side your sopose to go strait for the base it goes so much faster that way

  • not if you only attack the supply pads. they die fast compared to other buildings. so knock them all out or at least some and it will save you time. but reactors have more health thn supply pads so dont bother

  • rushing is gay most of the bitches who do it suck at every other game ever i would rape you at this game or any other rts including but not limited to ra3, the entire first decade but mainly generals,and tiberium wars

  • shut up you whiney bitch

  • at 2:09 in the vid the map in the corner is in the shape of a chode

  • i'm glad you actively look for such things.

  • Wow... I didn't know rts players that complain about rushing still existed. Fucking newbs.

  • haha this works i rushed them in secodns and they just left

  • Everything in this game has a counter, including rushes. Anybody who calls rushing "cheap" or "pussy-ish" is just a fag.

    For example, Brute Cheiftan can be upgraded to stun when he attacks. This is very useful against prophet.

  • guys i am going to be making a ultimate battle video and i need some elses help for it contact me

  • this rush works well. I have used it myself, but i think it kinda defeats the purpose of the game, its a little pussy-ish... My guess is there gonna make a patch for multiplayer that is not gonna let you attack for like two minutes or something.

  • Rushing is pussy-ish? I see it as rather daring.

  • Then that is rather sad, I really hate it when people bum rush me I bought this game to actually play having a 30 minute or 1 hour game with a divirsified unit group not an 8 minute game with one single unit if this keeps happening then I will stop playing halo wars online comepletely

  • and its the noobs like you why i bought the game

  • Yeah. All you really need to do is build up your defenses right away.

  • 2 words death match

  • true, it might not be as much fun as playing aginst people in a legit, but nothing gives me more pleasure than messing up a rush :)

  • Please do. Xbox live has enough whiners like you as it is right now. :)

  • that would be gay... people who dont like rushing are just babies.. if you dont like prophet rushing then just make like 3 wolverines and it dies so fast.... you people should really experiment before you start crying...

  • lol I love the name of this rush. Sounds so dirty in a nice way.

  • im kinda a noob at halo wars and when i first played multiplayer the covenant did this rush to me and i was scared shitless. so if your versing a noob(you can tell because they tend to gather up resources first) then rush them with honor guards (not grunts ect) and it should be sucessful. replie back if you have and questions or comments

  • i dont think this rush rly works ez conter is making a tower

  • Better yet, Engineer spam over Honor Guards.

  • should u but fuel rod cannons for the prophet?

  • you people who say rushing sucks and all that bull really piss me off. its an RTS game for crying out loud. i bet you anything that the people who say rushing is noob get wtf pwned by people who rush them. Rushing is a Strat either learn how to counter it or go play halo 3

  • Lag

  • SEAL, HAHAHAHAHA pro gamers will probably make more from about 2 tournaments than you will in your life

  • Make more what? Money? Who cares, "Some people go through their entire life wondering if they did any good, Marines don't have that problem." A pro gamer may make more money than me but I'm defending the way of life that can allow him to do that, he can be a gamer, I'll be the one he's gaming as.

  • "People who want to play the game for fun not a freaking rank hate it, people who are so obsessed about the game that they have to get the highest rank possible otherwise there life is ruined, use it. " I agree, rushers are annoying.

  • but its so fun its also trains you to be quick

  • Sorry but honestly, rushing is the gayest thing on Halo wars. It has ruined the game in a week already, I took my game back already, it completely took the fun out of it. Your just adding to it, get off Halo Wars and get a life.

  • u can double click the right analog stick on"thing that teleports stuff to ur profit" and theyll go through the portal without u telling them to

  • yeh rushing's homo, both sides build up armys and go at it lol

  • my best tactic for 2v2 is one player be prof. anders and another player by sgt. forge, if your sgt. forge spawn 3 supply pads and get tons of grizzlys, if your anders spawn 4 supply pads and get tons of hawks then you own air and ground!

  • I think spamming T4 is kinda gay though, takes the fun out of the game. But it is the best known 2v2 tactic, and I do use it a lot.  No choice really, either spam or get spammed lol. I am trying to find a way to counter them.

  • I tried a Prophet rush, and my enemy had 4 warthogs and he circled my guys killing every one of them... couldn't do a thing.

    They gave this game ranged and melee units for a reason.

  • IF getting rushed in 1v1 is a problem. Why not find a way to counter one?  If your good you'll be able to stop it and come back easy.

  • i dont really like to rush. especialy if my opponent is a builder like me. that way we both have fun and make epic battles

  • wow i hate rushing its no funnn

  • only people who can't do it hate it

  • People who want to play the game for fun not a freaking rank hate it, people who are so obsessed about the game that they have to get the highest rank possible otherwise there life is ruined, use it.

  • 2 things. 1 he isnt even building anything. and 2 anyone can rush. it takes no skill or strat. thats why you see most people that rush low rank

  • mwahhahahah thats why i am 5 wins 0 losses mwahahhahahah

  • not exactly, pros use rushes, you just gotta mix up your strats.

  • Pro means professional, which means getting paid. If someone were to make it to pro on a video game, then I'd assume that they really like the game. Now tell me, what exactly is incredibly sad about doing what you love and getting paid for it?

  • Nothing is wrong with doing what you love and getting paid for it, it's the video game part that's bad and sad. Video games are a past time thing, not a professional, if everyone wants America to get off their butt and stop being a "fat nation" then stopping professional gamers could be a good start. Nothing is progressive about video games.

  • Nothing is progressive about music bands, basketball or soccer either, but no one says that the professional sports/music players are sad. Its all just entertainment. People like watching other people play sports/music/video games etc., and because other people want to see them play then can make money from selling tickets. By saying that people shouldn't be able to make money off of video games is, dare I say it, just plain stupid.  Just watch, within 10 years pro gaming will be huge.
