Damn Halo Wars is good. I have to share this with you guys.
I was palying a 1v1 standard game.
Began as I always do, quickly got 2 bases up. Built fairly modestly between units and research. However the other guy built a rapid army up, consisiting of quite a few scorpians. We fought at my 2nd base, both our armies were fairly screwed after that, but he had 4 scorpian tanks left.
I had lost some buildings so I decided to play a mind game and lure him into a false sense of security. I self destructed what was left of my 2nd base. Immediately at my other base I trained 3 spartan units knowing he would attempt to finish me off with his 4 scorpians. When he came over with them I got my 3 spartans to take 3 of his scorpians, whilst building some warthogs (which had Gaus cannons on them) and immediately took the scorpians and what army I had to get my base back within minutes. I knew his army was next to nothing due to the previous battle.
From there I held him off, he made another massive attack which ended in my bases remaining. I decided to quickly build units which didnt take long, (warthogs, spartans, hornets.) Immediately attacked him took 1 of his bases and the rest is history. From a position where I really should have lost, I won.
Thats why this game is such a good RTS. Strategy is so key.
That is the best online feeling I have ever had. I beat him with my mind instead of reaction.
Man that was satisfying.
Bring on round 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ensemble your amazing (or were).
