Halo Wars Covenant Strategy - Locust Rush

[remen3]

next time fucking put the steps in the description!!!!

[N3xtL3v3lGam3rRemix]

Prophet for the win play a 3v3 1 prophet 2 humans the prophet concentrates on full upgrades on his prophet get him to 3 stars, annoying the enenmy is the key tactic keep going back and forward to an enemy base mainly if you can destroying their reactors. then you can build what ever you need to counter strike the enemy team, easy win easy 1-9k points in around 7-20 min games double if its a good game for you. ;D look me up on xbox i play for Fun only :), SNz ReMiiX. enjoy gaming

[iFur3y]

@N3xtL3v3lGam3rRemix - ok. and what's your trueskill?

[EpicWin0CriticalFail]

@N3xtL3v3lGam3rRemix You still playing, SNz ReMiiX? I'll add you if you don't mind? My GT is IPWNFLOOD, I'm an easy-going player as well :)

[FALLOUTVEAGASBOY12]

lol locust i thought this was gears XD

[cutthecheese1998]

i just did the locust rush on 2v2 and won in 10 mins

[mushroom0987]

ur very good and i kno its a old vid but i get my first locust out in 3:10

[asispilot]

@sodatree111 shut up, he wanted to show people that where interested in covys a new way to play

[sodatree111]

seriously? this is awfull first of all your playing a computer on normal congrats... they didnt scout you im pretty posotive that if you were playing online against me and i seen you just making thos garbage units ill make cobras with air units play me if you want GT: X11ORION11X

[dmlopez2013]

@sodatree111 He posted this like 2 years ago? Im pretty damn sure he's better than what ur seeing here and has modified theis strategy to fit an online situation. I think most of these strategies were created while the demo was released. I don't see the need for you to talk shit to anybody when you're the one coming to search for these videos as well in the first place.

[iTrollhardi]

ide have 3 tanks with spartans in them kill all those locusts lol...

[Tonystarkfil]

what diffuculty is this on?

[iTrollhardi]

@Tonystarkfil he said heroic around 7:40

[Tonystarkfil]

@iTrollhardi sorry I posted the comment before I heard that.

[mariobros1ify]

can you do a rush with scarabs?

[TheUberPokes]

@mariobros1ify no because you can only have 2

[halogamer566ify]

theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee caaaaaaiiin  ssssssssssssuuuuuucccccccccckk­kkksssssss like this comment if u agree again tttttttttttttttttttttttttthhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeee cccccccsaaaiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnn­nnnn sssssssuuuuuuuuuuccccccccckkkk­kkkkkkkkksssssssssss

[halogamer566ify]

um this is a rush so shut the fuck up kid who said he stoped watchin when put temple in front of his base ur trying to do as quick as yuo can does it really matter dumb ass

[Marwin1906]

.: MISSING YOU PRACTICE :.

[AusKMike]

this is shit



[juliosachump]

This is poop

[MrClayCummings]

i need to stop watching this he keeps playing against computer instead of real players

[MrOnebadassmofo]

haha bigwetvulva?

[waldron186]

lmao this isnt a rush

[kh2halo3rsfan]

ok 1. computors 2.cant use prophet for shit 3. go online n try this ull fail epicly

[PureXHeart2]

@kh2halo3rsfan he said it wouldnt work as well againts players u noob.. smh

[RampagingNightmare]

Fail, You use your cleansing beam which wastes supplies to get supplies? You'll lose supplies it will only look like more because of your supply pads, I can get 5 scorpions in 5 minutes so you would get owned if you used this rush against me.

[MaWx102]

This is a good attack...but only for an early attack...not a rush

U rush then u do an early attack...

attack wit leader

piss em off

build locusts

beat them badly

keeps up the pressure u know

[800Frozone]

is this on easy or normal. Personally I ethier play on Heroic (Rarely) or Ledgendary (Almost always)

[theysaidno]

@800Frozone nerd

[800Frozone]

@theysaidno and is that a bad thing?

[Xero0000]

Not to mention the prohpets speed in this vid is how it was pre-patch

[jaminson533]

seriously not even heroic.... mate most ppl on halo wars only play it for the multiplayer cos thats where its officially challenging. And your trying to make a popular set of strageties for us to follow and you can't even play against legendary? this gets many thumbs down... so dissapointing U.U

[jaminson533]

not trolling or anything, but from the point of view of anyone who is even a little good at this game, by that i mean able to defeat a human opponent, this rush plan sucks. well the way you go about it, because you take way too long, you make rookie mistakes like letting a spartan take over one of your locusts and not using the prophets teleport to susatain your attack. and then to top it off you say something like "i had so little resistance even once on heroic"... soooo this isn't even heroic?

[luisrule4evr]

idk man i could elephant rush u in just 1 minute

[Hunter54811]

DEATHMATCH LOCUST RUSH=PWNAGE

[CopperCabishomo]

Locust are powerful but not against the Arbiter!

[XxTNHSCLANxX]

u take to long i could marine rush u so bad

[NATEBRO16]

the remaining enemies at the end will have been garrisoned in the other supply tower at the top left of the map

[xylophexitis]

takes way too long to get the locusts out for a rush. Anyone good could crush this rush.

[coldshadow77]

@xylophexitis it would play out good in conjunction with a cheiftan rush should you play 2v2 or 3v3

[SpartanVoodoo]

I love using locusts to overdrive through certain terrain. Its very useful for killing a base quietly :P

[xWaRJaRx]

No offence, but you not only forgot about building units, but you left the Spartan for a turret and you attacked the base with the Locusts + cleansing beam before attacking buildings...

[Screaammz]

ive won a 3v3 by myself with a locust rush

[tkirk999]

yea.... but they got owned

[tkirk999]

i survide 90 odst and made a complete cobat with 6 scarabs 4hours later =) got like 3000000000000 score =) mwaahahhahaha

[BioExtract]

@tkirk999 4 fucking hours later!?!?

[deadunborn]

sorry but this can be improved a lot

[K1NGB0SS]

@deadunborn

What would you do differently? Don't get me wrong, I do agree with you though.

[deadunborn]

@K1NGB0SS build supply pads first while getting resources with the ghost, once the base is upgraded to citadel and there are only two building spots left I'd go temple- factory (in that order) then upgrade to the next era, upgrade locust and then start pumping them out, lock your base while doing this and send leader to enemy base, once I have 3 locust unlock base and teleport units, then attack while pumping a fourth (maybe even a fifth) and then upgrade leader and supply pads

[deadunborn]

@deadunborn (I'd be attacking around the 5 minutes mark, the problem is you are extremely vulnerable while doing this strat so I only use it in 3v3 matches unless there is a free reactor in the map

[ASBEincorporated]

@nieknikey you are an absouloute retard so fuck off oh and by the way next time you destroy a base ain for the middle once destroyed keep clicking select and look at your score dumass

[wassuplife]

all you ppl bitching about rushing are idiots there is a thing called counter rushing if you scout you can learn what there doing and counter stop bitching and learn to play its a strategy im new to the game and i can understand that idiots

[Pyro6Burning6Gundam6]

@wassuplife and there's also a strategy called counter counter rushing. if your base is locked up you can't exactly tell if they are making a ruh or not so stfu amateur

[SlapshotToTheFace]

@Pyro6Burning6Gundam6 Umm they can look at your buildings and see if you're making something out of them. Remember Summits make air units only so make anti air, same with vehicles and infantry lmao. Also you can see if they're making Warthogs or Elephants,etc too by seeing the two blue lights blinking. Also a war is instant they call if Halo Wars because the war of the covenant and humans and you're making battles online/story. So technically it's still a fight 10 min or 10 hour :p

[Pyro6Burning6Gundam6]

@SlapshotToTheFace when as the unsc making units take time because they have power unlike noob covenant who have no real stength aside from rushing. and if it was named for a stupid reason like that they would've named all the other games the same damn thing. and there is a difference between a ten minute pussy rush and a ten hour warzone

[HeWhoCannotBePwned]

@SlapshotToTheFace today i got rushed by 3 generals, me and my teammates lasted an hour alive thanks to good play. I ended up with 3 times more socre than the 3 idiots combined. That's talent right there. You want to play sorry ass matched where you score some 300 points max? fine by me.

[SlapshotToTheFace]

@HeWhoCannotBePwned Yeah probably your mates did shit and you keep killing them. Also I like the win not the lost. I want my opponent to see that YOU ARE DEFEATED sign. 

[dbks029]

I tried this online and it worked but the kid cussed me out in a message after

[GeneralNonsense9]

@dbks029

That's funny.

[Pyro6Burning6Gundam6]

Rushers suck balls, ppl buy games to enjoy them, ppl abuse games and ruin it for others.

rushing=agrees that you're a quick shot that can't last long in the heat of battle.

real players fight it out and make the game realy earn the title of wars. A real war is one that lasts hours with neither side giving up and endless battles raging on. I've survived such a battle that lasted two hours in 3v3. both randomixed teams but it was truely a real war.

pussy=rushing

man=fighting strong

[SlapshotToTheFace]

@Pyro6Burning6Gundam6 A man gets the job done.

[HeWhoCannotBePwned]

@Pyro6Burning6Gundam6 That's thw whole truth to halo wars.

I've had 2 and half hour long games and those are real motherucking wars, not pansy ass hit and run shit like most people. That's how people rank up and get good at this game, by playing lonng ass games.

[SlapshotToTheFace]

@HeWhoCannotBePwned Only a dumbass would be open to a early attack. So technically you're the pussy building up and don't scout like a real strategist.

[HeWhoCannotBePwned]

@SlapshotToTheFace Its called halo Wars cause you try to make wars, not guerillas or some cheap shit. it's poeple like that that ruin the game becuase they rush, proving they dont have the talent for long games. tell me, what takes more talent: defeat the enemy with 10 warthogs, or with 14 star girrzly tanks.

your answer is there. and besides, what points you might get in a rush, i tend to get 10 times over in a single game by not rushing.

[SlapshotToTheFace]

@HeWhoCannotBePwned Well 10 warthogs is pointless I tend to make Banshees. It's their fault for not making turrets,leader, anti air, scouting, etc. See all those I said? That shows that rushing is a free fall on a thin trampoline. The other player has to be skillful enough to counter or stop the rush. Also it takes more talent to make 10 warthogs even though they're useless. And even if a battle takes 10 minutes it's still a war but it's just a battle same if battle takes 1 hour

[Pyro6Burning6Gundam6]

@SlapshotToTheFace turrets are pointless because they're so weak, and not all use pussy covenent forces that are weaker than the UNSC. A real skill is being able to break the scorekeeper and still keep on fighting. and 10 minutes only counts as a fight. Teenageers fight for well over 10 minutes but we never call that war. after an hour then it's war

[midgetunion]

My warhog rush stradegy.

Play as anders

Build a reactor and a warthog.

As soon as the reactor is out reserch gunner.

send your hogs out as soon as you reserch it.

Build 4 supply pads and send more hogs.

This stradegy hasent got me a win yet but it is a very good way to slow your enemy down and for you to get your income out faster than him.

[halofreak9724]

how do you do that with the purple bubble

[MaWx102]

Jack a locust with a Spartan.....make it a full star locust......beats scarab

[midgetunion]

@MaWx102 Imagine if i did that with a ghost.

lol

[iliketosnipe97]

lol the best way 2 get stars is by not using your leaders special power... it makes it harder to get stars on your leader...

[HaloFunStuff]

locust= baby scarab! xD

[888blueflamefilms888]

i have found out if u have a bunch of locusts instead of 1 or 2 scarabs the locusts will destroy the main base building with full buildings with all fully upgraded in just seconds than 2 scarab less than 10 seconds around there. and the locust need to have overdrive ability. its crazy

[halo9917]

try GRUNT rush

[TheHalokng]

something that helps me is build the important buildings in the back of ur base. that saves those buildings from being killed first. also scout the enemy base 1st then put locust just out of enemy base range and the locust can still attack base without turrent hurting them.

[superzak9]

do a locust rush on legendary make a video of that

[CptnMcAwesome]

a rush is under 5 minutes and i can get locust twice as fast

but you tried

[gamster52]

all i hte is that when te locusts arattacked by even a sall force there dead oce tier silds are down BTW carpet bmb can easl kill al locists in the area

[MGRaiden64]

i usaully rush with scarabs...i can built them in 7 mins :)

[Darl1n1]

love locusts they are cheaper than scarabs and just as powerful

[XKopaka85X]

@Darl1n1 Powerful but a few shots from a scorpion can take it down.

[Darl1n1]

@XKopaka85X but if you have like 6-7 fully upgaraded you can kill most units and if you have banshees or waiths you are set

[XKopaka85X]

@Darl1n1 Unless the scorpions become grizzlies but in the end the air unit would beat both.

[crazywilly55]

this is my favorite rush

[QSA10]

need free stuff goo to my vid

[andrewknight2]

wow u seriously advertise  getting strippers on your desktop sad

[TheJohnnebravo]

what your gamertag

[duke8287]

lol electro magnetic thing (d bomb)

[leumas0097]

guys lay off. 1 i think this was made in demo. 2 its a.i, so of course your online strategies may be able to beat it, but since it was A.I's, he wasent pressed on time, so @#$% off

[MrZeco63]

This sorta works... But I think it takes to long.

[ColdShadow3993]

@MrZeco63 on a map with bonus reactors i am sure it wouldn't take as long

[Byane12]

Horrible, horrible rush. I usually have my first tank out a 3:42. My third is done my 4:50, and thats when i would hav erush you. Then i would have droped a disruption bomb on my tanks and juked you're prophet. It would of failed so horribly. The only thing the prophet is good fot is boom hit and runs on a bases reactor while you're building a scarab or have on built attacking another base. Dont rush with him. You would of failed so epicly aginst me.

[jimmyboyG485]

@Byane12

100% agreed.

[reneton2000]

OMG all of you are so stuped, there is no way a good player like me is going to let you built all that without been attack, i can tell all of you are a bunch of noobs. Plus the phophet is the worst rusher from the covenants, at list i make videos against real people online and not just the machine, in 5 min i already have 2 thanks with any Human race or suicide grunts with the arbitter or Little brutes with the Brute chief. DON BE FOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!

[DarthTater84]

@reneton2000

PoR is akshully pretty good as rusher. A couple days ago (in Deathmatch, because I am pretty great) On the map based in the city on Arcadia 2v2 (forget the name), but it's basically just a big U shape, with a wall separating the 4 starter bases from each other. Just made a Temple, flew over the wall, and decimated both enemy bases. Game over man, game over.

[jimmyboyG485]

@DarthTater84

Deathmatch is for n00bs that can't handle a proper game.

[Oreoz1000]

@reneton2000 dude listen in his video he said its a demo so your the fool pay attention.

[thealonzoshow]

nice strategy man

[kevinmarquez19]

Locusts aren't that "stupidly powerful" id rather build wraiths.

[jimmyboyG485]

You ****ing suck. You wasted money beaming rebels, and lost half the prophets health anyway? Just take them out one at a time with your cannons. Also, this took over ten minutes? Rush is first 5, this is a boom, and a pretty weak one at that. Just tanks would beat this.

[SpartanF19]

The marine rush would strike this

[xxxLeddyLegendxxx]

not the best setup make 2 warehouses and a temple then get resources then upgrade ur warehouses then go take a base while doing that make more warehouses just cover your main base with resource pads then ur 2nd base make vehicle depoe etc

[unscelite34941]

at 8:45 you can here a  warthog that is why u didnt win so early

[amartinez97]

Locust? ehh...you mean those guys from gears of war? lwell gears of war 2 got the flood so i guess halo wars had to get the locust.....lol.

[triangle8343]

How the f*** do you rate videos anymore with the new layout i cant find it :(

[nekku19]

@triangle8343 I think they deleted the whole thing.. :(

[amartinez97]

@triangle8343 You cant you have to thumb it up or down D:

[triangle8343]

@amartinez97 ya i noticed that now :(

[tropicallanterns]

Some of us gamers are actually gay, so please be careful when you call something horribly gay =)

[ERPOLINS]

allora sei forte ^^

[zockerfreaks]

thats no rush u noobie

[TheMetalg00se]

i just rush with like 40 warthogs i can normally kill the whole enemy team in one rush even online

[frank12364]

locusts are good but they die very very very very very very very fast. A non upgraded squad of marines could kill a locust

[SilverWolf618]

iv done this, Locust are long ranged, so stay away and keep your leader power handy

[JustLuckyToBeMe]

my cleansing bEAM LASTED FOR ever cause my supplies came in faster than the aility used

[joedog09]

try in death-mach you can get more locusts and you dont have to upgrade

[Manthejann]

yer i love deathmatch, its easier

[TeChNoJoRdAn]

Dude if u make strategies or clone em, get the full game

[vtv6zh]

here is a little tip dont use the prophet in 3v 3 online just take the arbiter and upgrade it full thats good for 2 things when u get warhog rushed the arbiter will take them all down and second he is invisible so u can just run behind the base so he dont get it till youve destroied his base

okey good luck online

[Jordan22473]

but cleanisig beam raps shit. I wont stop/cant be parted

[Timer483]

You, my friend, are pretty damn good!

[drunk1monkey]

i would like 2 see a hawk rush ive look for one but thair all crappy so would ya could ya?

[BlooSilva67]

i like this game a lot but it took an hour on avg. to beat someone but its a good game

[krazywolfpack]

to end a game you gotta claim enemy base

[OurLordIsOne]

no offence, but this is pretty terrible....locusts suck a lot of balls for one, and ur playing an AI....AI's suck, the legendary one is meh but it still sucks.

In under 5 minutes into a game, i can have 8-10 warthogs with gauss which can merk ur locusts.

Or under 2 mins into a game, i can prophet rush u (with blessed immolation) while training appropriate counter units (jackals/hunters) which again can merk anything u throw at me.

[SilverWolf618]

@ lord

dude they say BUILDING KILLER for a very good reason. dont get your pantys up your @ss.

[OurLordIsOne]

what r u talking about, u cock? whend i say locusts ARENT building killers?

if u like this rush, do it on me, my gt is BeyondL3thal. ull get fucked so bad, lmao...

or better yet, do it on xbox live, i bet a person without rank will destroy u.

[SilverWolf618]

wow, your sad, you know that?

[OurLordIsOne]

im sad....says the guy who thinks locusts are good...

go shake a sack or something.

[SilverWolf618]

they are good for killing building, try reading, it helps.

[Gumbi1012]

You think Locust's are bad? Shows how good you are anyway

[natalater1]

1 sqaud of non uprgraded can kill 1 locust

[Gumbi1012]

???

[MiguelLikesKungPao]

The thing about this rush is that locusts take a while to be built and upgraded even once, and they're not good at unit killing so much, so no one will really ever expect it online, thus not many people think to make anti vehicle-- giving you the advantage. It's a decent rush

[Runescape50202]

why don't you kill the barracks. that way they can't attack you when you try to kill them. and when you play a human player all they can do is sit and watch you kill them

[ELITExEXO]

HALODAN12, rushers don't have skill, they have brains and know how to play the field.

[voidpure96]

grizzly's have no skill...

[IndianapolisColts8]

@voidpure96 ummm nothing in halo wars takes any skill so stop bitcing

[jimmyboyG485]

@IndianapolisColts8

Countering a good rush takes skill.

[ToneRulez]

Oh I would have an army before this guy....

make four warehouses

get Citadel

make two more warehouses

make temple

As soon as temple is done upgrade to next AGE

research Overdrive

start making them...

[nieknikey]

What your doing at 6:50 shooting at the center of the base is not very smart. You can get much more points by destroying every single building, before destroying the center of the base itself.

[MRHSproductions]

@nieknikey 50 extra points :\

[HALODAN12]

rushers have no skill

[mikeyjr133]

Is there a program or some way i can record myself playing xbox? Without just holding a camera to the screen.

[jimmyboyG485]

@mikeyjr133

You can get something called a capture card that records automatically. But im not sure how you get one, youd have to look into it.

[Uberpielover]

@mikeyjr133 rushers don't have skill, how does it take skill to build a temple, and a bunch of warehouses and leader rush? the only thing you need to know other than what I just said, is how to use the leader power, and yr telling me that takes skill?!?!?! if that is considered skill than you must be a 5 year old stupid kid

[pocotoco2737]

takes skill to survive against good players so many people rush me and i stop them so easily

[benrivo]

i really enjoyed this video especially when i see you unlock stuff.

[starscreamleader]

actcully not all ur stratigies suck against human like ur banshee rush its good

[michaeel6334]

attacking at like 10 minutes isnt really a rush

[15chagO]

yes for do rushes you need skill and strategy if you are a idiot you dont how rush somebody the rush are cool .

I love rush !!!!

[hurrle3600]

Rush=Gay

Rush=no Points

Rush=Funny

[itry2phly]

Rush=Strategy

Rush=Points. They Updated it.

Rush=Funny. Yes, We love to listen to you bitch.

[ShiftRiderz]

itry2phly= the man.

[papajdizzzle]

@itry2phly dude, isn't that the truth. The best is after the game is over I get a little message that says "You have no skill, all you do is rush" Tehn I smile and think to myself, if I have NO skill and I beat them....what are they saying about themselves? LOL

[TheIPvClan]

@itry2phly yes but rushing also takes no skill and if failed you have no way to protect yourself

[Dominican4life13]

if he at least upgraded his locusts once he could have destroyed the base faster

[gxxlee123]

Yes locusts are powerful against players with no units 7 or 8 infantry with genades can stop them they are for long range combat mainly. But if you have 6 i think with overdrive they can destroy a coveant base with sheilds really fast just have a few other units to stop the others units.

[gxxlee123]

You never have been rushed by the A.I.??? Me 7 times out of 10 when i play the A.I. i am rushed (on normal 4 out of 10) it is easy to stop but still i wonder if they built more then one verison of the A.I. for diffenect games?

[finesk9]

rush = no points

rush = idiot

whi do you it???

[xXDylanGXx]

rush = pints for desroying base

i do it because im already the highests level so its funny watching little kids get pissed

[AnnoyingingeXD]

finesk9, if you dont rush, you are wasting time. look at the higher-level games. nobody ever wins a game in a rush (unless their opponent sucks) but you can usually take a reactor out or some supply pads and get an advantage that will help mid-game.

[Malacite]

Because you people suck at RTS and QQ about not knowing how to defend yourself early game while you tech up to your super units, expecting them to steamroll everything when they're done.

[Macke15swe]

the ghost sound like darth vader ^^ fun

[blizzkixx]

the thing i hate bout playing with the covenent is the god damn tier upgrades- 1000 for the 2nd tier! 2000 for 3rd! freaking ridiculous, but this is a pretty fun game

[silverblood99]

The air rush works good as well

the only thing is you have to be very quick about it
