Description
So far, just Elite Minors and Grunts. One Elite per Grunt squad, save for Grunt Specialist squads, armed with Fuel Rods and other heavy weapons. These more tactical squads are comprised only of Grunts.
fuel rod grunts...i always hated those guys
Oh yes, and I plan on making you hate them in this mod too, don't worry! They certianly wont be invincible but they will become a priority once they are spotted. Of course, there will be UNSC units like that to offset as well.
Excellant. One of the things that has always excited me about halo rts games is the prospect that infantry combat will be the same as the original fps' Even if this means bringing back the annoying units and the tough units :)
Yep. This is one of the shortcomings of Halo Wars. Fuel rods didn't even appear in the game, save for Hunters, and Hunters were WEAKSAUCE. There were a ton of other weapons that made no appearance as well and unit abilities were lame as compared to how they function in EaW or other games like DoW of CoH.
In Halo Wars the hunters were basically made half as good as they are. If they were actually as good as they are then it would be pretty unbalanced though.
No, not really. They aren't unbalanced in the FPS games so if I taylor game mechanics to be similar, than there should be no problem. Aircraft would probably be the easiest way to take out a hunter...since they will be inaccurate vs air and also can't melee.
cool! is one of them sitting?
Yep. Good eye! One of the idle animations is to sit and go to sleep, like they so often do in the original games.
Haha that's pretty awesome.
I figured people would like that ;)
Hunters pl0x :P
