In ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'', the carpet bomb has been largely replaced by an [[Orbital bombardment|orbital strike]] of Archer Missiles, available to Cutter. Similarly, Forge now has an ability called the "Scatter Bomb", that drops unguided munitions in a single area. Unlike its predecessor, neither ability in ''Halo Wars 2'' utilises the Shortsword bomber. | In ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'', the carpet bomb has been largely replaced by an [[Orbital bombardment|orbital strike]] of Archer Missiles, available to Cutter.
