Body
Carpet bombing is a form of aerial warfare, utilizing large numbers of unguided bombs, to attempt the complete destruction of a target region, either to destroy personnel and material, or as a means of demoralizing the enemy.
Appearances
The Carpet Bomb within Halo Wars is a Spirit of Fire support option. It was first seen in the E308 rendered video teaser.[1]
By utilizing the option, players could call in a Shortsword bomber from the Spirit of Fire which swoops across the battlefield, deploying bombs. The direction of the bombing run can be directed by the player using the thumbstick. When the bombs are delivered, they remain unexploded for several seconds before all explode at once. This ability requires 1 energy Unit and costs 600 resource points.
