In Response To: New Halo Wars Gameplay Video (Stormwing)


The gameplay looks amazing; I think Ensemble is/has been doing a great job of handling a console RTS based on Halo.

After watching the videos a few times, I transcribed most of the text that appears in the menus and in gameplay:

Units:

Marine: Main Infantry
Flamethrower: Anti-Infantry. Pyromaniacs to the core, the UNSC Flamethrowers burn up any organic thing they can find. They excel at killing all…
People: 1, Resources: 100
Spartan: Special Forces
Elephant: Mobile Mini-Base. The UNSC Elephant is a unique unit only available to Captain Cutter. It can move around the battlefield…
Warthog: Scout. Warthogs are the UNSC’s fast scout units. They start with an active Ram Ability, but can be upgraded to get various…

Scorpion: Main Vehicle

Elite Honor Guard: Anti-Infantry (Cool on a stick)

Buildings:

Power: 1, Resources: 150
Air Pad: Trains Aircraft. The Air Pad creates the various UNSC air units. Air unit technology upgrades can also be found here.
Power: 2, Resources: 150

Spirit of Fire Menu:
Heal & Repair: Heal any units and repair any buildings in an area.
Power: 0, Resource: 350
Carpet Bomb: Use the UNSC Shortsword Bomber to devastate a strip of land with massive bombs. Power: 1, Resources: 600
MAC Blast: Use the Spirit of Fire’s awesome Mass Accelerated Cannons to incinerate enemy troops.
Power: 1, Resources: 600

A number of the units have upgrades or abilities designated to the Y button, such as the Scorpion has missiles and the elite honor guard has an energy sword. Also, the default reticle is now the same as the SMG from Halo 2 and 3, and that of the Warthog turret when aiming a MAC Blast or Carpet Bomb.

The only things that really bugged me in the video wer that Wraiths have energy shields and that a prophet was on the front line. Also, I'm wondering what the two banshee-looking things flying around the prophet are?
