My strategy for Mission 15: Escape
The overall focus in order of importance:
1. Get more bases
2. Get the ODST and Hawk upgrades
3. Wipe out the Covenant
Specific walkthrough steps:
1. After killing the first few enemies, take the starting Marines, send two to the left, one to get into the Supply Tower, and one into the Sniper Tower that activates a light wall. Send one marine up to the right and into the Supply Tower up there.
2. Start building up the first base with 5 Supply pads and 2 Reactor pads.
3. Build at least 3 Warthogs, or an Airbase and start pumping out Hornets.
4. Move up the right side, take out the Flood around the first base, build the base, and put Turrets(with Anti-Air upgrades), a Barracks, Supply pads, Field Armory, and possibly Airbase.
5. Keep upgrading towards Hawks/ODST's and getting any good Field Armory Upgrades(Turrets, Mac Blast, Population Boost, and Training Boost).
6. Don't build anymore Warthogs.
7. Keep an eye on your starting base, watch the map for attacks against you, and make sure your Spartans are doing ok--often a Locust will shoot them from a long ways away--hijack the Locusts and Wraiths when possible. Also make sure your Marines/ODST's in the Light Wall Sniper Tower are doing ok--eventually a Locust will attack them. If they die, replace them.
8. Use your Hawks which you hopefully have by now to take out the 3rd and 4th bases, build them up quickly with supply pads, one airbase, and turrets with anti-air.
9. Continue to the Covenant bases with your Hawk fleet, wipe out the Covenant bases...
10. Keep building Hawk's as you lose them, and place ODST's in any good locations/Sniper Towers/Supply Towers.
11. Activate the doors! In order, they need to be paired with the opposite ones. Also make sure there are NO enemies of any kind near the doors!
The first doors are the one right at your base, and the one exactly opposite.
Second set are the ones near your 2nd base, (counterclockwise on the map from your first base), and the opposite again.
The last set are Clockwise from your starting base and it's opposite twin.
You're done!
If the Scarab ever starts attacking a base, hit it with everything you can at once--Mac Blast, Cryo Bomb, Carpet Bomb, and attack it with Hawk's(if you have them) right after the Cryo Bomb.
