its easier if you put your global meeting point next to the scarab fully upgrade your marines block your base and make marines and upgrade your field armory
theres a massive glitch for this level, its awesome if your doing this on heroic+ difficulty. upgrade marine squads to have new blood then garrison them in the sniper tower directly north of your base. The Scarab will continuously fire at the tower but not do any damage to it. It will aways keep firing at the tower so long as you dont get any units to go through the beam
im getting gamerscore for Halo Waypoint career improvement, i think its not fair that this achieve is only 5g. i think the placement of your units behind the "wall" determines when and how much it attacks the wall. not sure what the trick is though
Thanks Grif lol, on message boards people think this mission is really hard but it isnt. Use the MAC and after a while the Locusts will come to you and attack your base, wipe the floor with them and then retrieve the skull with a Warthog or two, simple lol. Good video btw.
Have you seen the cut scenes for this game? They are the most amazing cut scenes I have ever seen in a video game, if they were any better, they would be real. So don't go bad mouthing the graphics cause they are amazing.
I just got the micro manager achievement the other night, and it was a pain. Without destroying the nodes, the scarab head swings at full speed from side to side. The only method that DOESN"T involve massive casualties on your side (in my experience) is using 3-4 warthogs (including Forge) that drive from side to side, constantly shooting the scarab while doing so.
wow, much easier than my way... i went back after getting the skull and box and just massed marines, 3 waves of em fully upgraded took it out with a few mac blasts, i didnt have any problem with them destroying the nodes but i could see someone coming across that... it doesnt completely kill a marine squad with one blast so the little bit of time between each blast really added up in the end
First of all, Yes it does, But that wasn't what I was talking about. Gameplay in 3rd person was a good idea back in 1997 when games in 1st person had bad graphics. Games in 1st person has to really focus on graphics since your looking all around you instead of just a birds eye view or AKA 3rd person.
there have been rts games that allow you to take control of any of your units and play as them in first person. but yeah, the majority of rts gameplay is 3rd
I used the MAC attack and destroyed the scarab, don't listen to the others, it works fine, just upgrade as fast as possible and get 2 - 3 shots into it. I did this in 6 minutes.
What i did was turned on skulls for faster supplies and faster mac blast recharge and would send in 4 warthogs at a time and use them to dodge the beam as long as i could :D
I agree 100%. Check out Bungie's RTS, Myth TFL. There are some nice videos on youtube. Hard to believe that it was made 10 years ago. (note: the people in the videos use myth 1.5, which uses openGL.)
i just spawned like 20 warthogs and upgraded them, and sent them right to the scarab, then sent one off the the right for the black box. the loscusts came to my base so then i went and got the skull. i just kept spawning warthogs then sending them to the scarab using different paths to keep them from destroying the nodes. mac the scarab as often as you can though
Cheers. btw its not crucial that you get the skull and this achievement in the same sitting, so my advice is to just take the extra time and make it easier on yourself.
I'm not sure but when i use mac blast. I'm able to use 2 of them before it recharges. I use one mac blast then quickly go back and theres a fully charge mac blast again.
It is like starcraft in the since that you play in 3rd person, ( AKA a commander commanding multiple people at once, instead of just commanding yourself as in Halo 1, 2, and 3 )
Yes, The name of the whole species is covenant. But the particular name of that monster is a locust. Just like a "grunt" is covenant. a "locust" is covenant. I spelt that out as simple as possible for you ;) "n00b"
Nobody is downing Starcraft, we're just comparing Starcraft to Halo wars only in the sense that they both are played in 3rd person. Personally, these games are good on the computer because their easy to control with the mouse. Yet on the Xbox, you use the xbox joystick, which is harder to control then the mouse.
a goodway to do is to make a ton of warthogs...upgrade em to gausshogs and when the scarab starts shooting at your base, take the hogs to his left side. and then they will kill him. I had all buff skulls on and on easy and i did mac shot when it was rdy. was lucky i think cuz he just kept shooting at the walls infront of my base. Took 10 minutes.
ok.... but this game isnt about walking around in a room..... its about taking out the enemy stratigically and the graphics are just a bonus it is fun as hell
ok maybe i was wrong but still. it is bungie that startet it all plus to this video... what difficulity shuld i use to dammage the scarb more ?? any idea?
ha, i got this skull by and micromanagement the same time before i watched this movie... and i attacked with 8 scorpions at one time, got too boored to wait for the mac, like he did. and i drove those 8 scorpions on a little route that almost free of powernodes so they didint kill them... and then boom those 8 scorpions only took half its hp. i macblasted the rest^^
If you do this on easy and use the MAC Cannon to destroy the last bits of health on the Scarab, you'll destroy the Scarab and get the Walk Off Winner achievement.
you have to kill all of the other enemy units before you can kill the scarab with the MAC. i just got it on accident. the Achievement is Walk Off Winner.
Well starcraft in the sense of a RTS ("real time strategy" as opposed to Halo's FPS - first person shooter) game. Many games are RTS, I was saying just don't compare it to Starcraft which is undoubtable the best RTS ever made. Personally I tried the demo and didn't like it at all.
Commanding the armies and it being tough has little to do with micromanagement. I've played it with everything, myself, and there really isn't much to it besides to most basic aspects of the genre; it feels like half a game. So yes, i supposed it's really no different, if you're comparing it to the RTSes of 10+ years ago, just with much prettier graphics.
correct bungie was not allowed to help in anyway Other than plot development as they need everything to link up to future games and the old marathon games.
you might have had it its walk of winner and i was like "wtf theres loads of lucust to kill"which i couldnt see but knew were there cause i didnt get the skull and i got it any way^^
he did use some buff skulls didn't he? cause i just tried it on normal with no skulls and it didn't work out even with scorpions, rhinos and gauss hogs hitting this thing...
What about Starcraft being the #2 most watched sport in South Korea just after soccer. They have channels devoted to it. That's much larger that a "devoted fan base". For english commentaries on RUclips check out the channels VioleTAK and CholeraSC.
Graphics don't completely make up the Game, but they do play a big part of it. Yet so does the Gameplay. I really don't like Halo Wars, because its a game you play in 3rd person, on an xbox. Those types of games are only good on the Computer
Not just bacon, all meat products that means bacon, sausage, steak, ham everything that is meat but not fish...so yeah its what i do...lol...I sleep horrable thinking about all the meat I'm not eating
After you do the optional objective, it highlights the spot with the skull on your mini map.
its easier if you put your global meeting point next to the scarab fully upgrade your marines block your base and make marines and upgrade your field armory

Wow 12 years later replaying I remember watching this 12 years ago bought on the steam sale and 100%ing again back to the same video lol
Thanks Grif lol, on message boards people think this mission is really hard but it isnt. Use the MAC and after a while the Locusts will come to you and attack your base, wipe the floor with them and then retrieve the skull with a Warthog or two, simple lol. Good video btw.

because I subscriped to roosterteeth's Channel to see the new red vs. blue shows

i like when that warthhog spun at 1:35
I used the MAC attack and destroyed the scarab, don't listen to the others, it works fine, just upgrade as fast as possible and get 2 - 3 shots into it. I did this in 6 minutes.
halo is by far the most fun game ive ever played = =
What i did was turned on skulls for faster supplies and faster mac blast recharge and would send in 4 warthogs at a time and use them to dodge the beam as long as i could :D
I agree 100%.

lol with that scorpian. i did the same thing with a bunch of cobras. The trick to most of these acheivements is to play on "easy".
I'm not sure but when i use mac blast. I'm able to use 2 of them before it recharges. I use one mac blast then quickly go back and theres a fully charge mac blast again.

im pretty sure the reason why the scarab didnt swing over and target the tank is because it was trying to kill Forge laying on the ground.

Zomfg,
that sounds like such an awesome game!!!!
Imanna be the first one to buy it!
Yes, i would save getting the skull for a different run through
0:32 You can see the flash of white on the node. You told them to attack it. Lol.
do you have to finish the level after you find a black box?
a goodway to do is to make a ton of warthogs...upgrade em to gausshogs and when the scarab starts shooting at your base, take the hogs to his left side. and then they will kill him. I had all buff skulls on and on easy and i did mac shot when it was rdy. was lucky i think cuz he just kept shooting at the walls infront of my base. Took 10 minutes.
actually, he was referring to it ignoring the tank. He realized the scarab was after his base.
what does a black box actually do?
or does it just unlock a time line event or smthing
If you are playing on heroic or legendary make 3 or 4 at a time
ok.... but this game isnt about walking around in a room..... its about taking out the enemy stratigically and the graphics are just a bonus it is fun as hell
ok maybe i was wrong but still. it is bungie that startet it all plus to this video... what difficulity shuld i use to dammage the scarb more ?? any idea?
like mac blasting a certain spot does more damage?
what do black boxes do? what are they for?
ha, i got this skull by and micromanagement the same time before i watched this movie... and i attacked with 8 scorpions at one time, got too boored to wait for the mac, like he did. and i drove those 8 scorpions on a little route that almost free of powernodes so they didint kill them... and then boom those 8 scorpions only took half its hp. i macblasted the rest^^
You say it "Looks" Dumb, but its really fun. Play it.
If you do this on easy and use the MAC Cannon to destroy the last bits of health on the Scarab, you'll destroy the Scarab and get the Walk Off Winner achievement.
I don't get it? In the beginning you did destroy a node. How did you get the achevement?
He tried to correct me. Saying that i referred to the covenant as "The locust" which i did not, the name of that particular enemy is a locust.
you have to kill all of the other enemy units before you can kill the scarab with the MAC. i just got it on accident.
the Achievement is Walk Off Winner.
you know, you can also get another achievement if you are patient enough to finish off the scarab with your MAC.
if you look close at 0:32 he clicked on the power node to attack it.
This game was NOT made by Bungie, it was made by Ensemble Studios. The same people who made the Age of Empires/Mythology series.
do u have to kill the covenint close to the power nodes
dude, I got the micro manager achievement from mac attacks alone, I already had the box and the skull so all my units hadn't moved at all.
What are the Black Boxes? What do they do?
Well starcraft in the sense of a RTS ("real time strategy" as opposed to Halo's FPS - first person shooter) game. Many games are RTS, I was saying just don't compare it to Starcraft which is undoubtable the best RTS ever made.
Personally I tried the demo and didn't like it at all.
ya it worked for me thanks for tellling helped alot
@AranTheLegend the up button in the pad on the left of the R
Thanks alot ! Really helpme :D
what does rts stand for?
easy put some Cobras and the two Rinos in lock-
down mode near the Scarab
if ur talking about halo wars....its alredy out... its been out sense march 3.... -_-
if ur not talking about halo then sorry for making that mistake.
That is how popular it is over there.

If you can call Halo Chronicles a game. From what they've told us it will basically be a movie that you only play when absolutely nessisary.
how do you use the mac attack
i hate how the scarab eventually blows up the wall guarding your base
geoff, lets do it.
does this work on any difficulty?
Starcraft isn't "undoubtedly the best RTS ever made", all the C&C games have a HUGE devoted fan base.
correct bungie was not allowed to help in anyway Other than plot development as they need everything to link up to future games and the old marathon games.
who is speaking? which character from rvb?
does anyone have the rooster teeth video for skull nine...there is everyvideo on here but the 9th one..
where are yo getting this 3 min victor from it takes 3 min just to wait for a mac attack
you might have had it its walk of winner and i was like "wtf theres loads of lucust to kill"which i couldnt see but knew were there cause i didnt get the skull and i got it any way^^
i agree but it is one of the small key features
Halo was originally supposed to be an RTS.
The More you Know.
he did use some buff skulls didn't he? cause i just tried it on normal with no skulls and it didn't work out even with scorpions, rhinos and gauss hogs hitting this thing...
How do you make a Rhino tank ??
and also keep a marine or sumthin 2 keep at each infection thing if they regenerate..
I didn't have to worry about searching out the locust, they found me -_-
That would be Geoff.. He plays Grif in RvB (The really lazy orange guy on red team)
Thanks alot geoff :)
one thing about that. its been out for a week and a half
At least you get to eat bacon...smart one I am gave meat up for lent :(
Its a long 40 days to Easter...trust me
lol
Oh yeah and it was a good video
i got the achievement "ready for the sequel"
actually ive had it since Feb 27
What about Starcraft being the #2 most watched sport in South Korea just after soccer. They have channels devoted to it.
That's much larger that a "devoted fan base". For english commentaries on RUclips check out the channels VioleTAK and CholeraSC.
I wish halo wars would be on PC :(
have u ever played a RTS thats fog of war nearly every strategy game has it
Omfg, my stupid warthog destroyed the power node, right after he destroyed it, the scarab blew up, so I had to restart the whole mission -.-
arg ive been doing this on heroic the hole time without realizing it >.< no wonder it was so fuckin hard
They call it micro manager nice one at the end there just in case no one caught it
also how the hell do ur macs do so much damage compared to mine? can u get this on easy????
really 30 squads of marines?i gonna try that
wen i first played this lvl, i was like "NO NO NO RUN AWAY FROM HIS BEAM NO NOT THAT WAY N-" and suddenly my units were dead :P
this plan doesn't work even if I start blasting it with mac as soon as the mission starts he still gets to my base
Graphics don't completely make up the Game, but they do play a big part of it. Yet so does the Gameplay. I really don't like Halo Wars, because its a game you play in 3rd person, on an xbox. Those types of games are only good on the Computer
my last name is a mac type of name and my teacher always calls me macker :)
Lol it is indeed but that's what all the decrease skulls are for.
it is an opnion but ii agree that a game with good graphics isnt what makes a game.
mac blast is easy for the Micro Manager
I think they unlock the Halo timeline.
Awesome! :D
red vs blue owns
Not just bacon, all meat products that means bacon, sausage, steak, ham everything that is meat but not fish...so yeah its what i do...lol...I sleep horrable thinking about all the meat I'm not eating
