I’ve been playing hw for a long time and i can seem to do is make marines or turrets. Is there a better way to counter rushers.
Depends on what they are rushing you with…
…Or just rush them first.
First you scout and see what they will use to rush you. Also, are you talking about teams or 1v1? Totally different situations.
I always play as UNSC and always build a few warthogs and a turret or two.
if creative assembly stick to all of the game mechanics in the total war series HW2 should have different types of units who are better against another one.
Rocket hog > Banshee
Ghost > Marines
The only thing that I am a little worried about is if they implement a morale system.
The most popular rushes are the Suicide Grunt rush, the Brute rush, and the Grunt rush. All of these can be countered with flame-throwers. So if you scout the enemy and know that they’re going to rush you (their leader is on your side of the map/ they went for an early temple/ their base is locked), double pump flamers and you’ll be fine. Don’t over build though. That can lose you the game as flamers are unable to counter rush (they have terrible base damage) and cannot attack air units (which many Covie players like to spam).
After you’ve pushed off the rush I’d recommend taking any hooks available if you haven’t already. Besides that, the flamers really aren’t good for much else. After that, you should see what your opponent is up to and counter appropriately (that should go without saying).
