Halo Wars Strategy: 3 Minute POR Locust Rush

Read the description before any derogatory comments are made.

I do hate my nasally voice. And my terrible sense of humor.

A Halo Wars rush build where your first Locust comes out at 3:09.

And yes, I do realize that I put the reactor in the back.

Locust & Wraith Rush Build:

Simple Breakdown: T-WH/EHG-WH/Reactor-WH/BWH(First WH)-Factory-3 Locusts-BWH-Wraith Pump

Detailed Breakdown:
(Base Slot [x/5]:Buildings\Simultaneous Actions

-1/5(Back):Temple\Ghost Harvests
-2/5(Side):Warehouse\Honor Guard
-3/5(Between):Warehouse\Claim Reactor\Scout with Ghost
-4/5(Between)Warehouse\Blessed Warehouse (Slot 2)
-5/5(Side):Factory
-5/5():3 Locusts\Move Prophet towards Center
-5/5():Blessed Warehouse\Move Prophet towards enemy base
-5/5():Pump Wraiths

Explanation:
The key here is the pump 3 Locusts out in about 4 minutes, and then support them with Wraiths. Wraiths are a great unit that will counter just about anything except anti-Vehicle. That is why killing the Scout is crucial.
The Second Blessed Warehouse is AFTER the Locusts, thus your Prophet needs a little micro until the first Wraith can get there.

Late Game Transition: If this rush fails (Losing 1 Locust, or all your Wraiths), then cancel whatever unit you are currently buildings and upgrade to Citadel. Here you MUST build another Unit Production building (I typically go Summit), and another Warehouse or Shield Generator, based on Scouting.
This rush generally does not fail (unless your Locusts are killed before they get a shot at the base), because it rips apart a UNSC base extremely fast.

In this game I was really tired, and a little off, so my micro and my control was a little bit off.

Leave any constructive criticism you wish. Acting word being CONSTRUCTIVE.
Here is what I am expecting from the numerous 9 year olds who scour this here website, thus a FAQ shall be written.

I thought you played Halo 3?
I still do, but I find this game more addicting.

What Leader are you?
Prophet of Regret. Watch the video, DUH.

What do you suck so bad?
Why did your mom suck so passionately in bed last night?

I bet I could beat you, stupid NOOB.
You just might. I don't know. I haven't played against any top players yet.

Why do you spam D-pad commands so much? It's MAKING MY BRAIN HURT!!!
I feel like it. Like I said in the video. Lol, it's actually so I can see everything that's going on at a very efficient pace. I don't really need it so much early game, more late game where you have to work on a million things at the same time.

Dude, you suck.
I already gave you my response.

You put your temple at the side, not the back.
I KNOW. It was like 1:00 AM lol.

You're a little baby, only staying up till 1:00.
I am a little baby. More like a puppy.

You suck at Halo Wars.
I could probably beat you in Halo 3, lol.
That doesn't matter though.
I really don't care.
I just wanted to share with the world this build I came up with.
Someone may have already discovered this build order, it's not uncommon. If so, there's no video on YouTube about it.

How do I counter this build?
Anything anti-vehicle decimates it, except for Spartans. I'm sorry, but Spartans just get raped by a good micro, unless you research adrenaline.
Lock your base, then spam like Hunters if you're covenant, and anything air will handle it. Scorpions or Wraiths also work too.
