In HW1, Vultures had a satisfying barrage.
In the first HW2 Beta, Vultures had a NUKE (similar to Heroes exploding when you have the skull on)
In the finished game, Vultures have a single missile that does massive damage.
I know that this is ultimately just a minor visual issue, but does anyone else prefer the barrage or the nuke over the Pheonix missile?
Side note: Phoenix missiles… Isn’t the Spirit of Fire’s logo a Phoenix? Isn’t it also a Phoenix class colony ship? Really need to brush up on my lore.

I do for sure. Yeah, I really miss both (mainly barrage). I do kind of like the lazer target thing that they have when firing it though.
I just like how it take three vulture missiles to kill a conder
My guess is that the original nuke animation was just too damn heavy for the game to handle. Massive frame rate drops and stuff.

Remember when XBO was supposed to be super powerful? Pepperidge Farm remembers

It does?
…
Maybe I have been underusing them…

Well, -Yoink-. Wish I’d known about this before. It would’ve made my life easier on several occasions.
I really like the visual style of the barrage, it looked awesome. The thing I liked more about it is that it didn’t take a year for the barrage to fire, unlike the phoenix missile.
I just miss that one line. “UNLEASHING HELL!”

Yeah. All special abilities aside from Heroes, really. Tried using the Scorpion’s Canister Shell ability?
You can enjoy a nice cup of tea by the time they fire the blasted thing (pun intended)

That was one of the lines I was sad to see gone.
I like “Judge, Jury, and Executioner” it isn’t a replacement, fits with the unit though.
Maybe a patch can add the “Unleashing hell” line back?

Yes, Spirit of Fire has Phoenix in it’s logo and yes, it is a Phoenix Class 2473 support ship. On it’s logo it also has a motto Exitus Acta Probat witch is “the outcome justifies the deed”. It’s so uber climatic 
Also i really loved the barrage together with UNLEASHING HELL.

I really liked that visual of HW2Beta’s phoenix missile. Today’s phoenix missile has no attraction for me.
HW2Beta had many good points.
It is sad 
I miss it, yeah, but I absolutely LOVE watching a quartet of Vultures unleash Pheonix missiles on an enemy base and instantly kill all the turrets, letting the rest of my army roll in and clean house.

I posted a video about “Vulture of HW 2 β”.
Please watch this clip:)
Halo Wars 2: Vulture is the best Air unit !! (youtube)
Everyone will know the splendor of Vulture in the β era.

I doubt it’s quite that weak. I’ll have to test that. I mean, three vultures could probably beat a condor because of how fat they are and that they have anti-air as a passive but just three missiles… Questionable
I dislike the way the culture fires, I get its for balancing, but it seems a little absurd that you have to aim a laser pointer for a few seconds.
I only found out recently when canister shell decided to work, that it’s pretty much the same animation, flashing light and big wind up

It s called monocasting and it s awesome. It allows for much greater micro as you can pick the target you wish to fire upon, 1 by 1.
next patch i heard they ll add that to marine s grenade!
Whenever the patch comes live, anytime now… really… like soon right?

12 Vultures and the day is over ^^
I remember vulture rushing in the first beta, then spamming those phoenix missiles. I crushed.
