Revisiting my 'Halo Wars Unit Tier List' Have my opinions Changed?

[@si8085]

kinda good to see how a little and good comunity of game with 15years stills going on, and being the most underrated halo's game ever, its almost nostalgic that sound of the start of the video

[@TurnipVids]

beeg yoshi

[@WillyMacShow]

Played a bunch of halo wars recently for a couple weeks. It was clear right away that Tanks and Gaushogs are top tier units haha

[@StyroNo1]

So true Willy

[@TurnipVids]

They are truly the bread and butter of the game! Thanks for watching

Bet my left nut I’ve dragged you on HW

[@ShatteredQvartz]

Poor Hornet It's like the Internet Explorer of Halo Wars, only used to access his better counterpart

[@f4na7ic2]

The downfall of the Hornet is that it has two moments of power. The first being that while nothing is upgraded, it is actually quite useful for its cost and build time… And the second being the Hawk.. And the kick in the teeth comes from the leader that can utilize one of these strengths misses out on the other. (Forge early, Anders later…)

[@thatsimulatorguy]

I literally just finished that video lmao. Thanks for the update dude! Edit: I found a slight use for the elephant. When all of my infantry is upgraded, I replace the barracks with a different building the. Call an elephant and lock it down behind my base. Not only is it extra turret fire but I get another building slot. Only downside is the fact the elephant does not have as much health as a building

[@rawrxdtonepforme9360]

I'm sorry Turnip I have to hard disagree with your elephant placement. I have never seen you lose to hornets but I have seen you lose because of an enemy elephant. Honestly I've seen more badass elephant plays than anything else in C tier. And I've seen elephants pop up almost as much as hunters in games. I think my biggest case for the Elephant deserving to be higher is just how strong it is for repelling an earlier rush. The amount of marines it can vomit out is not to be trifle with and it saves you a pad on your base. Like if you are gonna rate THE chopper that way I think THE elephant deserves the same. Plus you cannot build a Vulcan without one. There's more I could get into but I think I've made my case.

[@cupofearlgreytea7651]

Here in the first 10 minutes, I'm interested to see how your opinions have changed! My elephant love from the last tier list is somewhat dimished, I believed i had them at top of A tier, now I'd place them either in the middle of A or upper B Love your vids man, lives are super funny too! Keep up the great work!

[@TurnipVids]

I appreciate your support glad you enjoy the streams!

[@iampain5737]

@@cupofearlgreytea7651 Yeah I loved elephants too but they were never top tier but they are definitely a solid b tier unit. I always loved doing an elephant opener as I could usually counter any rush with one and then when their rush failed I could easily put counter pressure on them. Bringing up a couple more elephants and going for speed, turret and even armor upgrades while popping marines and or flamers right in front of them usually had games ended within 5 to 7 minutes if they didn't quit earlier after their rush failed. Even tried some funky stuff like putting a spartan in an elephant and it kinda worked when you got the upgrades for the elephant ngl lol.

[@cupofearlgreytea7651]

@iampain5737 that's a different way to play em! I usually use 3 of them with Spartans inside as a 3 unit rush army. When locked down, fully upgraded, they're a menace when you've got a spartan behind the wheel gaining veterancy I usually used em to hold down or outright take enemy bases and while the turrets on the elephants were opening fire, I'd set em to keep pumping out ODST's to just add up into overwhelming firepower! That or I'd use them as extra turret emplacements to fortify a base! Set em up in front or on the flanking sides of the base with one I the front and watch em shred anything that gets close, combined with the base turrets, it's alotta DPS that nothing short of the locust can deal with. Even then, the locust barely handles it! @iampain5737

[@dominien6487]

nice to see you back man

[@TurnipVids]

Thank you!

[@iampain5737]

37:28 Is there a renaissance for og halo wars or something because I remember playing around with ghost shield wayyyyyyy back in the day along with using grunts to counter hogs too when the game was first out on the 360. (Edit after finishing the tier list) I feel like I mentioned this on the old tier list but sentinels actually glitched out arbiters rage to where he couldn't hit them at all. Now idk if the glitch is still around or not but back in the day I had many Arbiters just flat out quit when they realized there rage wasn't doing anything to the blob of sentinels lol.

[@arizonacan5635]

Ok this is freaky: i just watched your tierlist RIGHT before this came out and only noticed now. Weird

[@343Films]

Same. Literally just watched it like a day or two ago

[@7thdayfallout]

here for the prophet

[@notatimetraveler6444]

When pairing Scorpions and infantry I always go flamers. Their faster movement and massing potential makes them good at chasing units and clogging enemy formations, they are also good at cleaning hunters which can eat up scorpions if you’re not careful. And in return, if you got jackals or vehicles incoming, have your scorpions mop them up. Plus, the burning animations are (strangely) satisfying, and I love their voice lines, even more so than the Scottish voice in 2.

Turnip posting, now this is great!

[@mrpig5949]

Chopper disrespect is unwarranted, if this list is based of utility, it should be at least high b tier. Some 1 vs 1 match up’s are entirely lost if the chopper is killed early

[@IHeliosI]

In "defense" of the cyclops, there's actually some super niche and situational uses as an early creeping unit. On 3v3 Frozen Valley, if you start as pocket (the middle) you can go HSP-Reactor-HSP, make a cyclops once your reactor is up (it's only upside of it being cheaper than a warthog at 125) send it to your expo and use the Y ability to one shot the rebel camp turret. While it takes damage from it and the rebel infantry bring your hog back from scouting and ram the rebels. Then attack them with your cyclops and do one last ram. That's enough for your cyclops to survive fighting the turret AND the rebels then finish the camp. As the timer ticks down for your expansion, collect the crates with it while your hog resumes scouting. Now you have an expansion without needing a covie leader to clear it for you or any help from someone else at all letting you get your expo up about as fast a temple 2nd build order might. And it only eats up a single pop space so you could send it to get healed at the center and then scout with it also. As a side note, this allows it to instantly get 2 stars once the camp blows up.

Fr. It's fine if he doesn't wanna open the stream himself, but if you're gonna do that, then don't constantly interject asking where they're at in the list.

I hate that games have glitches. They are in every game, its impossible to make a perfect game. But it still sucks. I want a battle of skill and wits without glitching anything. I consider using glitches to be cheating but they are everywhere. If I play Madden I want my football mind and skill vs your football mind and skill. I dont want it to be a game of "I know more broken plays than you".

[@TurnipVids]

I agree, I wish they would do one final patch for the game and remove some of the game breaking glitches

[@343Films]

​@@TurnipVidsThat could make for a cool vid. Like what you would do if you were given the opportunity to patch the game one final time (within reason obviously)

Annoying people in the channel and sometimes it's hard to tell what unit is being talked about as there's no graphics involved and the picture is too small. Also no 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 rankings?

Because Scorpions have an op glitch

@@CEOofAutism that isnt really why. The canister shell is far worse on grizzlies compared to power turret. The initial canister trade between grizzlies and PT in large groups makes PT win comfortably everytime

You have obviously never felt the pain of 3 star spartan assisted warthog spam

They’re pick up trucks lol of course they’re gonna have low health. They’re fast enough to drive away from most danger.

@@TaylorBloomqvist look up Top Gear Killing a Toyota. Nevermind, here is a link below. They throw this truck off of a 10-20 story building and it survives. They drop a 10-20 story building on the truck and it survives (the building was being demolished so they put the truck where the building would fall and crush it. These guys did everything they could to destroy that truck and it never died! Sure some wires and belts needed to be replaced but the truck itself would keep running no matter what they did to it. My point is pickup trucks should have good health stats.
