I Built 3 Scarabs and Got Reported in Halo Wars 2 

I’ve long waited for the day you’d get caught, Andrew.

I checked the Xbox Code of Conduct and it says if you build 3 scarabs in Halo Wars 2 then Phil Spencer will come to your house and take your xbox, RIP TeamRespawn

"Your honour, he built OP units! Surely that's gotta be against the ToS, right?" *Team Respawn found guilty of building scarabs in competitive* For committing a war crime in building three scarabs in a single match, you are hereby condemned to winning the game.

imagine being one of the many grunts his teammate made. They're getting slaughtered. There is no hope for victory. Then, over the hill comes a charge of 3 Scarabs bringing death to your enemies.

Having 3 scarabs is just fun and not illegal, i mean they could have built 3 scarabs too if their strategy wasn't so bad hahaha

Rule 101 especially in starcraft: Seeing no units for a few mins equals the horde or purge units is drawing near.

I thought it was common knowledge that having 3 Scarabs is against the Geneva Convention.

Didnt see them scout your base once, maybe they should have realized something fucky was going on when you had zero map presence besides your starting unit

I bet Reach also filed a report against the Covenant when they glassed the planet.

I've had this happen to me back in the day. Playing Starcraft 2 multiplayer, me an a friend both playing Zerg were reported for committing a Zerg Rush. Let me repeat that, Zerg players, were reported, for Zerg Rushing, with Zerg.

The Elites commanding the Grunts: "Hold the line, HOLD THE LIIIINE!!" The Scarabs finally stomping over the hill: "Your request for reinforcements, has been acknowledged."

Enemy: "You're cheating!" OP: "like, thats your own opinion man"

The covenant invade Earth and bring at least 3 Scarabs UNSC: "I'm reporting you!"

Guys like "Build Units next time." And I'm like.... "He did! He built three Units!"

Come on Andrew, just admit to your long criminal history of building Scarabs

One thing you should know about just about any strategy game, if you haven't seen a player all game, assume they're stocking up

Don't know why everyone complains about the super units. I love it when my opponents build them. That 40 supply and a lot of resources tied up in one unit that doesn't move fast and gets melted by just about anything that can target it.

Imagine losing a 3v2 for 13 minutes straight and then wondering why you didn't win in the end... Yellow could've built nothing but Ghosts and they still would've won because, lol, the other 2 guys kept them in check without him.

Now see, being better than the enemy team gives you an unfair advantage. This proves that you are definetely cheating because you're not allowed to be better than them.

This feels like an actual mission on a videogame, imagine playing as one of the grunt that his teamate made and you need to keep the enemies busy until reinforcements arrived.

Andrew you naughty boi how dare you poo on this Kevin, you’re supposed to lose and let them win.

"Reported making 3 scarabs in halo wars" Me: Halo Wars is multiplayer?

What I love about this video is that none of those three ever scouted his bases or encountered an army from him. Logically one should put together that he simply held his resources. Also someone literally was going all grunts 😂😂. That means he could’ve simply given all his power to the scarab cause lol 😂.

Its amazing how mad people get in FPS and RTS games specifically.

Had someone who said they were a dev and reported me for kicking him for kicking him off the server and that pc players were ruining the game. Poor kid had terrible grammar and spelling.

I have made three scarabs so many times you are allowed to do that Kevin

That joke about the thermostat was criminal. Just like your gameplay, Andrew

Getting beaten is like a slap to the face. Three Scarabs is more of being bare footed before stomped in the toes by spiky hiking boots, while watching.

Just discovered you on RU-vid, played a bit of the original Halo Wars but never wars 2 aside from the beta/demo, but man your banter is exactly what I would look for in a trio or duo! You remind me of the old days on wars with my buddy. Perfect vid and the triple scarabs... I'd be mad too lmao. Great commentary to all 3 of you.

Ah but you see, the contracts of humans means nothing to aliens! (Initiates glassing)

Man high rank players just can't handle a lose can they?

*Other team reports you for making 3 scarabs* Me to the other team: You stupid karens

You held back, let your friends/allies do all of the attacking, just to allow yourself time to field three massive, game ending, tanks....that's not cheating, that's smart. It was allowed in the game's normal code, they were just sore losers. Granted I'd be pissed at losing to you like that, but that's the breaks, you out smarted them.

I was playing in lower ranks once and had stolen one of their mini and i guess they just never realized and then i made 3 condors on their bases...

I always called this trick the Scarab Steam Roll. First time it happened to me, I was so impressed that I wasn't even mad in the least.

Man i remember in halo wars 1 that you could build 2 scarab and 10 engineers. Now THAT was classic haha

It's not cheating when you can build 3 Scarebs. They are just sad

This reminds me of a WH 40k DoW2 match I was in years ago. Team game. Victory Points. A Space Marine player had a powerful infantry force that he death-blobbed and was regularly wrecking the shit out of my Tyranids. I simply did not have the tools available (or resources for that matter) at that particular time to properly counter him and was on the backfoot alongside my team. I decided I needed to change my approach to help my team win because I was only bleeding models and burning resources at little cost to my opponents. This Space Marine player had two terminator squads and was the biggest threat from our opposition. High-tier super-heavy infantry. Typically, seeing more than one fielded by the same player is considered griefing, though the way I see it if the rules allow it, it's up to the opposition to find a counter strategy to that. After all, people are only using the tools that are available. My current unit comp couldn't deal with that let alone that guy also having at least one tactical squad, an assault squad, and I think a plasma devastator squad aside from his Force Commander hero all supporting these terminators. I decided to beat his overwhelming anti-infantry capability with monstrous creatures that weren't nearly as susceptible to his weaponry, so I went for Carnifex spam. Uncouth, but if this guy was gonna continue playing as he was unchecked, we were gonna lose. While he could eventually bring one down I was able to get two, then later three, on the field at once after some time and resource management. I was able to push him out and start killing his guys. The Space Marine player decides to have a fit that he can't kick my ass like he was earlier in the game because I'm bringing in units he isn't equipped to efficiently deal with. This guy griefing my team with his two terminators, a unit that's quite difficult to get rid of, and his anti-infantry death-star wants to get on my case for bringing something to the table he can't properly counter? The tools are there, it's up to him to figure out how to deal with my brute-force counter "strategy". I fought cancer with cancer. My team's collective efforts won in the end, but the salt from that guy; absolutely no self-awareness.

posting this before you reveal the scarabs, you CAN send each scarab and the leader to different places, infusion wake a 5th place, and then pop cat. cat 5 places at once and witness the purest form of chedder

Me on the enemy squad: Why do I suddenly hear boss music?

When he told you to build units, you should've informed him that you had built 3 :D lol.

Clear violation on the UN Human Rights Charter on Halo Wars 2.

“Go file a complaint” that’s gold

I too know a secret bug. I want you to try it. Be Isabel and someone else Serina, let Serina build her Icethrowers and you decoy them. Watch the ice buildup from the decoys. Only way for decoys to do actual damage. May work with air units too.

what I've seen in this video Yellow: builds three scarabs in 13 minutes Red: idk man that's kinda slow you could've done better light blue: omg cheating everyone else: quietly accepting fate

One scarab alone was a pain in the ass to take down in the mainline games, I can't imagine fighting three.

"This man has like, 6 Kodiaks." Ah yes, the Terran Main.

Just imagone how mad they would have been with 4 Scarabs.

So because you have team mates that are good enough and willing to let you cheese a game for a laugh its against TOS... I would have loved to see you state "Sounds like a you problem.".

I'm reporting you for a major breach of the Internationally Cheddar Convention. That was too much cheddar!!

Ah yes, no one really did anything to take you out of the game when it was clear you were acting strange, and weren't making much map presence. They got what was coming to them.

Imagine being the person who reads their complaint. "The doodoo head built 3 scarabs and team wiped us because we didn't build any units or try and fight back."

Based, love how swiftly you start moving the scarabs and leader just to focus massacre on the base.

Him: I'll just make 3 units The 3 units: Scarabs The enemy team: WTF

13:35 I love that, "theres another war council right there!!" That made me giggle

I always tripod scarabs lmao, it’s literally unbeatable if looked out for by your teammate

Imagine being such a clown that you not only get caught on RU-vid failing to beat down a 3v2 for 13 minutes straight, but also being a poo-head in chat and getting laughed out of the lobby by your opponents. 😎

I like how the scarabs just never stopped walking forwards.

Thanks for having me!

I have no room to talk, I've done the same thing in other RTSs. "Hey, think you guys can protect me while I build (overpowered unit) ? "Oh yeah, " "sure" "go for it!"

Hey Andrew what is a trees least favorite month? Sep-timber

The best way to win is by spamming suicide grunts on their base until they pity you enough to forfeit the match.

It's all fun and games until you're the one caught in the beam of 3 scarabs. F to pay respects

I would rather have 3 scarabs vs all the other cheap rush strats

So no ones going to talk about how this man was making a yo mama joke and after being told the mom was dead he continued the joke and finished it? had me rolling

I've never played this game, seen this game, or heard of this game. I'm so sleep deprived. I can't stop wheezing.

I would have reported too for unconstitutional gameplay. The founding fathers would be sad.

Hey Andrew did you hear about the guy who cut off the left side of his body? He's all right now

Your a grunt in battle and your being slaughtered then over the hill like that one scene in war of the worlds, 3 scarabs appear all hope is lost, and this short war is over

According to the rules of the game, 3 Scarabs is 100% legal. If it wasn't you wouldn't be able to build them.

"Build units" *builds 3 Scarab's* "Build non-boss units."

I wonder how long the war on the Ark would've lasted if Cutter had reported Atriox for sending in 3 Scarabs during Last Stand...

I've done this in single player a lot but I never thought it was possible to do it in multiplayer. The AI is pretty easy to trick but in all seriousness it's impressive you are able to pull it off. I've only been able to pull it off against the legendary AI once, with a sheer amount of luck

Yet again, Andrew has failed to beat my scarab rush record 😎

"Your mom-" "Dead." "I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that."

I mean hey, if you don't see one player use any units for like five minutes and don't get suspicious, you deserve to get stomped by ultimates.

my question as an avid RTS player. Why didn't they think something was up when they didn't see yellow ALL GAME. I would be like oh shit im dumb for not even checking what yellow was doing.

Off subject, you and Ed are the reason i finally tried Kinsano out. so much fun.

"Build units next time." He clearly built 3 Units.

"Player used a valid tactic, reported!"

Imagine playing the game with a non-cheating advantage, and playing the game as you're supposed to.

honestly? I do the same thing in almost every game like this if I can because it's honestly just cool to watch your small group of murder robots or whatever vaporizing the enemy like they're on a calm stroll on the beach and having zero issues. and when I had the demo of either this or the first game, I'd basically have an engineer or two near a scarab to keep it healthy. so I say keep building them scarabs and giving the salty people a hard time with them. lol

Based solely on what was recorded, I will be filing a complaint with the UNSC and demanding that all leader powers be equipped with a can of Raid. It's the only way to balance the field of battle when faced with 3 giant bugs :)

alternate title instead of sending hate mail i sent 3 scarabs

Can't even get to that point without getting marine spammed

That guy has to be joking like he's probably just in awe of seeing 3 scarabs paying his base a visit cheddarful overall

Had a game with me and a couple friends. We all got scarabs ready, the max amount to be specific per player, then we had a sudden kamikaze, wiped our infantry, then rushed the enemy with three scarabs per foe. Their reactions were great.

Man is it illegal to have 3 scarebs

Just imagine the entire team made scarabs. I know super units aren’t strong as they seem but 9 would a scary game. Just imagine a skull that made the only unit scarabs and the capacity was 400

I didn’t even know u could report people on halo wars 2 tbh

Everything seems clear to me. Ye got the red army with the infantry spam. The orange guys with medium motorized infantry. And then the one guy focusing on the BIG GUNS while the other two distract the ennemy. Legit strategy. Disgusting, but legit xD

Lol. Your scarabs rode on Hosties coat tails. Grunt defence and offence against warthogs I bow down.

I know I’m late to say this, but you should be ready to buy the next scarab right when the current scarab is being finished. I noticed that you were upgrading in the war council and then had to wait a while to start the second one. Save just a little power to shorten the time that the second (or third) scarab is made. Unless you were to spam unit production upgrade (I forget the name of it) then maybe that would also compensate for that time lost. (Sorry I’m just very analytical about strategy.)

I have discovered that colony is the best for this strategy if you spec into the leader points for engineer's warm and passive healing Plus combat hardened or whatever it is to get more veterancy your scarabs basically become Immortal because they heal in combat and also out of combat so moving between combat you basically regenerate to full health

Man tells him to build units next time. If he had done that these guys wouldnt have even lasted those 13 minutes it took to build the scarabs.

Am I missing something here? 3 Scarabs is completely normal in my experience. Me and the friend I play with regularly love beating the enemy down then saving up for 6 scarabs for a final grand finale.

I don’t ever want to go against them, even though I probably already have 😰

I love the Scarab wave tactic as I call it. I do it with decimus and his combat siphon, makes them so annoying to kill in a big fight.

I don't know why RU-vid only just showed me this now but it was worth the watch and the laugh.

Ah, good. My steak does need some salt.
