Halo Wars 2 was a console first RTS and not a PC centric one for instance.

It’s a great game, but it’s understandable that they left it behind so soon, their focus with the game was wrong from the start, hopefully, if they ever get to make a Halo Wars 3, it should be a full blown PC centric RTS with multiple factions and complex commands.

Take Supreme Commander as a basis, would work well with the Halo universe.

I want Halo Wars 3 to stay console-focused.

Halo Wars 2 was hurt by the Xbox One, no Game Pass and Halo 5.

(It’s still has a very healthy playerbase though)

I’ll spoiler tag this post because I don’t know if talking about the latter half of the campaign is currently allowed here.

I gotta say, the last couple hours of the campaign are starting to bum me out. I go from exploring this large, very Halo world to playing in these cramped corridors doing fetch quests for power seeds. It’s like they took all the interior sections of Assault on the Control Room from CE but stretched it into 3 missions. I’m also really tired of Escharum’s constant pontificating. Like bro, I get it, chill out.

I can’t help but feel like the effects of COVID, crunch, and rebooting 2/3rds of the game really started to show once you traveled into the Spire. It’s as if 343i knew how they wanted to design the world, but screwed themselves when it came to fleshing out the story since it required them to integrate the pieces of old Halo that are just very outdated in this day and age.

Yeah sadly

Could someboy please tell me the name of the song it plays when you are fighting Chak Lok? It was fantastic.

[javycane (Javier Ruiz)]

Should be done with the story today.

For anyone finishing up the story watch after till the end credits finish or just YouTube it if you can’t be bothered to wait

@Roronoa_Zoro90

it’s similar to C&C?

The core mechanics of base building are similar to C&C, the factions are more symmetrical despite looking completely different from each other, but they do they do have defining differences.

What makes Supreme commander shine is the scale, giant maps for giant maps and armies, also super units at end game.

You have some complex commands to micro your units and mastering the economy e key to win, trying to balance between energy and mass.

What I think would really help Halo Wars is the scale of the combat, wider maps for a bigger army and a little bit more complex mechanically speaking. RTSs made with console first in mind won’t really be a success on PC, and I don’t know if a console can carry the brunt of making an RTS popular.

Yeah, of course, it’s beautiful… If you paint over screenshots. I want him to make it as a gif or a gameplay video next.

But yeah, weather conditions could add so much, for sure.

VFX artists already on that as we speak I’m sure.

Im really liking how meaty the Mangler feels. I’ve been using it along with the BR mostly. I hope they add more heavy feeling pistols later in DLC.

Thanks for the explanation, from what you describe, it is what HW was meant to be, a large scale warfare game, but being it a console first RTS, it was constrained by its limitations.

I wonder how they ported it to the 360, because I heard it’s impossible to do. XD
