Ensemble gives strategic advice in Halo Wars ViDoc 4

by Dustin Burg on Feb 19th 2009 6:10PM

The fourth and final Halo Wars video documentary (the cool kids call 'em ViDocs) just made its way online. This time, Ensemble Studios talks about the design process, how much enjoyment can be had with the various multiplayer modes and a few Ensemble members even detail their personal Halo Wars strategy. Pottinger's plan that involves two Scarabs firing blue death like an uncontrollable fire hose is pure strategic genius.

How do you take out a scarab?
I threw everything I had at one and it took me out with barely a scratch.

Use the Spirit of Fire's Flak Cannon...its all you can really do :/

MAC cannon...

The cannon only takes out 1/3 of it's health.
I probably should have upgraded it first.

sorry it is MAC Cannon :/ And yea you can upgrade it with the armory i believe, it should totally screw it

I had two Vultures and a couple scorpions so it was cake.

As is true with all things in halo, the answer is to give a spartan the biggest gun you can find and let them loose on your problem. 3 spartan tanks plus a little crative maneuvering and the scarab should be little trouble. Scarabs are powerful, but its because they cost as much as a small base.

For 2000 supply you could get 20 marine squads. With the rocket upgrade they could take out a base on their own. You could also make a couple vultures as well. Hell, you could make an entire army.
