Because, why not?
First off, let me say that these are the strategies which I employ during matches. Obviously, there are a plentiful amount of variables at work, however I’ll make the assumption that once I’ve told you what to do, you’ll find the means to the end. I’ll also try my best to include solutions to certain situations, which are out of the ordinary, and harder to think your way out of.
Early-game (0-4 minutes) decides what happens mid-game, (4-10 minutes) decides late-game (10+ minutes).
This guide’s gonna focus mainly on early game, as if you can get that somewhat perfect, then it’ll carry you through the rest of the game.
Also, I assume that you’re going to be playing with a teammate who is playing UNSC, and somewhat knows what they’re doing (They need to be around…30-35TS. If they’ve got that, then they should be able to hold out until you can start working on the UNSC, but more about that later).
I’ll be posting strategies vs…
Anders/Brute - Anders/ Arby - Cutter/Brute - Cutter/Arby - Forge/Brute - Forge/Arby
Without discrediting him too much, the Prophet’s just not tough enough to bother thinking about. Send your hogs at him, Rage a little, strip his base. GG.
Finally, if any high level players wish to contribute tips/criticism they’re welcome, and will be credited. Keep in mind, however, that playing this way has got me a 42 TS, so I’m evidence that it works, so don’t try to hint, or explicitly tell me that it won’t work.
FINALLY, I won’t be talking about obvious things, such as collecting supplies or other things which should be common sense.
So, I think that’s it.
Being a Covenant leader, the Arby’s general objective is to get more air out than his opponent, force the opponent into Vampires, then either win before the Vampires become a problem, or switch to Vampires himself and then outnumber the opponent.
However, the Arby is different in that he has a secondary function: his Rage ability. The Arby’s rage makes him more complex to use, offering more choices than the, oh so stereotypical, double summit. His Rage makes him a perfect counter to Warthogs, and’s likely to force anyone opponent who’s going Warthogs to rethink their strategy.
I underestimated my own laziness; this might be continued during the Winter Break.
