Since the flood has been revamped, and the covenant introduced. I thought a place solely to talk strategies and ideas on how to fight, or fight as the factions that are now playable was necessary. But if you bring up frigate spam, unholy hell will rain down upon you. So to start off, i have found these effective:
- If engaging a large UNSC force as Covenant, attempt a two pronged attack, if you can hit them from behind, you will be on the inning side.
- If a Covenant players is attacking, Hold tight to your SMAC guns, this will make them have to endure much more to get to your ships, and the opening volley will be a fantastic display of explosions.
- If UNSC, pair a team of Orion's with a supper carrier and a valiant with there passive buffs active, that will turn this small little team of capitals into a deadly lethal weapon. And the higher the level, the better.
- When defending as covenant, you may have already found that defense is rather easy, but a good combo of ships is about 5 CRS cruisers and a CCS, feel free to tweak this one, depending on the map and how you are doing offense wise to keep your enemies at bay. And i picked those ships for three reasons: there fast, there mean, and thy are tough to destroy with proper tactics
So guys, contribute your own, tweak mine, tweak other peoples, its all good here!
