The first Halo Wars was set before the events of the original Halo game, while this new one is the opposite bookend, taking place after everything that happened in Halo 1 through 5.Ī scouting party lands on the planet and fast butts heads with Atriox, a Brute who fought the covenant and created a faction of alien outcasts called The Banished. Clearly, the war has moved on without you.

There’s a human signal coming from the surface but your outdated ship isn’t able to decode it. Continue pumping out units and you may want to upgrade one of your reactors at this time.The game starts with the Spirit of Fire, your ship from the first game, coming out of a 28-year-long drift in hypersleep in orbit around a strange space station. After your army builds up to 4 or 5 units you should start expanding or attacking your opponent. You may need to build some turrets or even lock down your base for a while. At this point your opponent will probably be attacking you or expanding. If you have enough minerals you may even be able to start doing this before you start building your airpad or factory.Īfter your factory or airpad start pumping out units and fill out the rest of your slots with supply pads. For instance if your opponent is building hunters, build an airpad because air units are good against hunters.Īs your airpad is building upgrade your base. Pick whichever counters your opponent the best. Next build a reactor and a second reactor as you continue to grab crates and scout your opponent.Īs soon as your second reactor finishes build either an airpad or a factory. Build another supply pad and use your second warthog to gather the supply crates near your own base and the middle of the map.

Use your warthog to see what your enemy is building and steal the supply crates near his base. Carefully micro your warthog to avoid being damaged by creep (non-player units including insurgents and flood). Send your warthog to scout out the enemies base. Start off building a supply pad and another warthog. This build can branch off to either ground based vehicles or aircraft which you will do depending on your opponent's build. This is the standard build order to use with Sergeant Forge when going for a mechanical army.
