Two of my good friends and I picked up Halo Wars 2 over Christmas, and have been trying Terminus Firefight. We seem to get to waves 64-84 every time, before we get wiped or the Terminus is destroyed because we cannot slow the enemy down anymore.
With three of us playing we have to share resources and population for obvious reasons. Most of us play UNSC using Jerome, Kensano, and Sgt Johson. But we have also had equal success running 1 Brute player(not sure the HQ choice)and two UNSC players. The time we have seen the most success were with the combination of races. We were all building strong air forces utilizing Condors, but we also tried having each player concentrate on a certain build, and that seemed to work better. Our last and most successful attempt, our Brute player built 3 scarabs, our other UNSC player built a large air force with two Condors, and I built large Tank and a Wolverine force backed by a Condor. We also build at least 10-15 Nightingales for support.
We make sure to utilize a variety of turrets, leader combos, and will try and rebuild the turrets to suit the type of enemy we are facing, but we still get overrun.
Any help and or suggestions you all can offer?
