Cutter shoots back that the Ark now belongs to the ''Spirit of Fire'', and that Atriox can piss off. Isabel then reports that Atriox has ''never been so mad''.]]
** It's zig-zagged between them. Atriox didn't take the humans seriously and the entirety of the game is them managing to inflict more damage on his army than the Covenant ever did.

* ACommanderIsYou: Broadly, the UNSC are ''Elitist Brutes'' and the Banished are ''Spammer Guerilla/Technical'', but individual commanders add to or change their faction's role:
** Captain Cutter: ''Unit Specialist: Infantry'' with unique ODST from his power wheel. ''Ranger'' with a passive movement speed bonus to his infantry. ''Gimmick'' via his heavy use of unit drop powers.
** Isabel: ''Unit Specialist: Vehicles'' with an emphasis on the Scorpion tank. ''Guerilla'' due to her holographic decoy powers and ability to hijack enemy vehicles.
** Professor Anders: ''Unit Specialist: Aircraft'' and especially Sentinels. ''Research'' with her R&D passive making unit improvements cheaper and faster to research.
** Atriox: ''Turtle'' with plentiful mines to defend strategic points, cheaper bases and Fortify research, and multiple healing and invulnerability powers to keep his army in the fight.
** Decimus: ''Brute'', unusually, with his power wheel providing his whole army with BoringButPractical passive bonuses to attack speed and LifeDrain. Decimus wants to get his army buffed with passives then steamroll over the enemy with an unstoppable wave of Banished.
** Shipmaster: ''Ranger'' with movement speed increases from Banished Raid. The epitome of ''Guerilla'' with a strong emphasis on cloaking and teleportation. ''Technical'' due to the micromanagement required to use his teleports to their fullest potential.
** Sergeant Forge: ''Unit Specialist: Vehicles'' with unique access to the Grizzly tank. ''Industrial'' due to his passives allowing him to get his economy to full speed faster than anyone else except Pavium and reduce the build time of vehicles.
** Kinsano: Plays more like a ''Spammer'' than usual with passives that reward rapidly losing and replacing units with Redline speed increases and Hellcharge death explosions for a powerful rush.
** Colony: ''Elitist'' and ''Brute'' for a Banished leader with a strong focus on vehicles and aircraft empowered by Skitterer drones for additional health and damage. ''Turtle'' with aforementioned additional health as well as Combat Repair granting them mapwide passive regen and the powerful healing tool of Engineer Swarm.
** Sergeant Johnson: ''Unit Specialist: Vehicles'' with unique access to Mantis and Colossus mechs and several powers that exclusively buff them. ''Turtle'' with bunkers and a Siege Turret drop to lock down key locations. A very powerful late game ''Economist'' with Digging In Deep making all base buildings free.
** Arbiter: ''Technical'', relying on stasis to divide opposing forces, powerful buffs from using his hero powers to shore up normally weaker Banished troops, and his hero unit requiring more micromanagement than most.
** Sergeant Jerome: '''Brute''' with Time for Heroes and Inspiration from various abilities making already powerful UNSC troops even more so, and '''Elitist''' with Omega Team alone taking a fourth of his supply in three Spartans.
** Yapyap the Destroyer: '''Spammer''' with free Cannon Fodder giving him incredibly strong map control and more units than anyone else. ''Technical'' due to the need to manage three hero units and their abilities at once.
** Serina: ''Gimmick'' with a heavy focus on freezing enemy units and shattering them quickly for massive damage. ''Turtle'' with freezing auras around captured points and her turrets.
** Voridus: ''Economist'', strangely, due to the ability to get resources by attacking enemy structures to sustain his rush. ''Gimmick'' with many units and powers generating and benefiting from infusion pools, which also passively damage enemies.
** Pavium: ''Industrial'' and ''Economist'' in one due to Burnout boosting the production of his buildings. ''Turtle'' supreme with Mega Turrets allowing him to bombard enemies from afar, the ability to passively repair buildings as well as make them invulnerable for a time, and the Lich letting him lock down a key location.

Let's just say he really probably came to regret not killing the Spartans he did.
