Finally there's the 3 unique leader powers which I'll describe here:Īrbiter(Covenant): Probably the most powerful of the 3 Covenant. These are similar to Battle Cruisers from Starcraft but instead of that big fireball, they shoot a huge volley of missles called Mega Barrage. Next is a troop transport which is used for shuffling units across your visible areas of the map. Next is an area of effect heal which heals units within say a 5m radius. It throws down a distortion field that negates any leader powers for up to 2 minutes in that area.
The D-Bomb is one power that's used to neutralize other leader powers within say a 10m radius. In contrast the UNSC don't have their leader on the field of play but they get a slew of leader powers, accessed by pressing UP on the d-pad. They have a lot of health and their beam is only second to an army of Locusts. They take up a massive portion of your population. Each leader gets one special ability that's controlled by the Y button and aimed with the analog sticks. Their leaders are an actual playable character. Covenant is kind of a throwback to Warcraft 3. There are 3 Covenant leaders and 3 UNSC leaders to choose from and each with their own special bonuses.
His additional bases also start at 5 slots while the other leaders start at 3. The bonus for choosing his character allows for a full 7 slot base at start. You start off with a main base that has 5 slots for building your supply and production facilities as well as researching higher technology with the exception of Captain Cutter leader. Gone are the days of having to micromanage your base building and supply gathering. The controls although simple, still allow for a detailed and immersive combat experience. What we have hear is a near perfect example of how to make an RTS for a console.
