**[[SPARTAN Group Omega]]: SPARTAN-IIs are individual units who are superior to Marines. They can receive the ability to dual-wield weapons and can hijack enemy vehicles, so the player can control them. They can also be outfitted with [[AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun|chainguns]] and Spartan Lasers as well as AIs which can increase their speed, much like Cortana does for John-117 in [[The Fall of Reach|Halo: The Fall of Reach]], and help them hijack vehicles faster. <ref name = "IGN E3 2008: ''Halo Wars'' Hands-on">[http://au.xbox360.ign.com/articles/890/890357p1.html E3 2008: Halo Wars Hands-on]. ''Alex Simmons''. Accessed on 2008-17-07</ref> When a SPARTAN hijacks an enemy vehicle, their rank is added to the vehicle's rank and the captured vehicle's stats are increased. Only three SPARTANs can be deployed at a time. It has been confirmed that their health will regenerate over time; Spartans do not have shields, as they are outfitted with the MJOLNIR Mk. IV, meaning they should not be capable of supporting AIs, a fact which has apparently been overlooked. | **[[SPARTAN Group Omega]]: SPARTAN-IIs are individual units who are superior to Marines.

**[[Hellbringer|Flamethrower Marine]]:<ref name="Forum">http://www.halowars.com/forums/thread/242938.aspx</ref> Called the ''Hellbringers'', these Marines are specialists equipped with heavier armour and flamethrowers which can be used to torch entire infantry units. They can be upgraded with Flash Bang Grenades, which stun enemies when hit, napalm ammunition that will most likely increase the damage they caused, and oxide tanks, which also increase damage. <ref name = "IGN E3 2008: ''Halo Wars'' Hands-on"/> | **[[Hellbringer|Flamethrower Marine]]:<ref name="Forum">http://www.halowars.com/forums/thread/242938.aspx</ref> Called the ''Hellbringers'', these Marines are specialists equipped with heavier armour and flamethrowers which can be used to torch entire infantry units.
