Not the worthog rush...

My favorite strategy is to sacrifice time spent with my family to fire up the Xbox and join a game in which I will be rushed by the Prophet of Regret with a new Elite showing up every couple of minutes to contribute to my slow death.

I like to use my Arbitor and kill stuff then build a mass army and destroy.

Locust Rush/Covenant Hero Rush....Nice simple and fast =]

Rushing

This is an excellent RTS game and I can't wait to try out these new game types.

the elephant rush its so uncommon no one expects it

I usually like doing a Profesor Anders Hawk rush. I usually get hawks in about 9-10 min.

Hide-and-seek.

Favorite strat is WINNING!!

massive ODST drop out from the sky!

Suicide grunt rush!

Warthog Rush!

Build your defense, then after you destroy thier offense you beat them into submission!

I don't LIKE rushing, but I often will if I'm in it to win.

I don't attack I wait for them to attack first and if I beat their wave I attack.

Hunter/vampire/jackal rush anyone?

I like using Anders. I usually try to build hawks. I'm not too big on rushing.

warthog rush

Ummmm I like to kill other people in multiplayer?

run and hide with air defense.

Strategy:The Warthog Suicide Blitz

Explaination: starting warthogs (about 5 or 6) rush CPU controlled bases for easy kills, then I rush the enemy players base with warthogs and cyclops's.

Upgrading everything.

Teams of 3: Brute Chieftain (Me), Anders, Forge.

I rush with jackals and brutes and the others build up while I provide distractions. This eventually wears any enemy down, whether they go air, vehicles or infantry; the 2 UNSC and Covenant team is able to counter any conceivable tactic through the use of powers and military.

Research ODSTs while getting scorpions, then attack with scorpions and odst drop...

OMG I'm sure about a billion other people have said it, but I have one friend who absolutely HATES the Warthog rush and so I feel compelled to use it every chance I get.
