I’ve played my fair share of Terminus Firefight in my day…
(I think it’s one of the Funnest gamemode in HW2 )
I’ve been devastated by 3 Spartans many times on the first 5 Waves, they mow down your Infantry, (Even when in their in the healing area of the Terminus) they have an insane amount of health and damage, a direct blast from an Unstable Barrel doesn’t zonk them, and they have their up grades too.
(Machine Gun turret, Rocket launcher and Spartan laser)
You see the Banished heros don’t have their T2 upgrades, making them fair.
(You can ask me how I know that in the comments)
The three Spartans should have their dual pistols, but they don’t.
(Which is what they start out with in standard Multiplayer)
How to combat them is: build snipers or elite rangers,
(Oh Rangers are T2… I guess if your A Banished leader your pretty much done for if you get 3 Spartans on the first five waves)
Problem is if you build snipers, the system will scan your units and send a Condor or big guns. (Darned if you do Darned if you don’t eh?)
Maybe I’m just ranting, or maybe I have a point? But know this, I have played many matches in my time and I still haven’t come up with a way to defeat 3 Spartans.
What are your thoughts thoughts on this matter, are they unfair or not?

build turrets and once they are built, upgrade and mass build marines as they beat everything at wave 5. I have trouble killing Scarabs but everything else easy. Banished can even mass Grunts but they become inferrior quickly after wave 10.
So, I play UNSC always…forge always… just my style. but what i did is marines and snipers from the start with a few flamers thrown in for good measure works every time, now if your a banished id say suicide grunts and just send them after those spartans like they stole there food nipple. and of course build the turrets and make them anti infantry if you have the power.

I love Suicide Grunts but they are WORTHLESS against heroes.

Here’s my ideas. (Untested, may fail.)
Stacked Rams. (Choppers, Ghosts, Goliath or Hogs.)
Shrapnel Mines (Lots of them. Might be easier to setup if Wave 4 is either Direct Air or ODSTs.)
Grenades (Amounts that equal MW2’s Noobtubes per-match.)
Heroes who can Stun. (Spartans, Warlord, Pavium) (Veteran Ideally)
Infusion
Cannon Fodder doing their job.
Helpful early Leader Powers. (Stun Vortex, Ice Wall, Fixed Living Barrier, Bunkers, Heavy Metal, etc…)
Goblin Hustle in Healing Circle when Low.
Heroes in Bunkers.
Stasis 2 Spartans. (Nades/Mine)
Hunter Captain Taunt.
Combine some of the suggestions and it might work.
The only option which is a guaranteed success alone is leaving/restarting the match. (It’s only Wave 5)

Another tip, you build four supply pads before gen, just don’t upgrade the supply pads unless you get a power bonus.
I would love to help with this problem but I don’t do legendary, if I can’t even beat it on easy I don’t think I have the right to try legendary. Any tips for the mode though? So when I do play it I don’t get obliterated, instead I get decimated?

Build 15 walls on one side, the enemy will funnel to the other side, get lots of Siege Turrets, Direct Air only comes on the 4th wave of a Banished or UNSC round.
Flood are a free win.
