Halo Wars Guide › Basics

Welcome to Halo Wars Advanced Training

Please read through the instruction manual so you’re familiar with the basics of movement, combat, and multiplayer modes. The following training assumes you’ve learned game function and perfected the two Training missions prior to starting the Campaign mode. Can you split up your units, fast-scroll around a map, and use your Leader Powers? Then Advanced Training begins now!

Note

For specific information on a building or unit type, consult the “Factions” chapter.

To learn details on basic movement, unit selections, and combat, read your instructions manual.
