Official Thread Halo Wars 2

Good to see it scoring well. No variety? I don't see a RTS game the quality of Halo Wars 2 on any other console.
 
I can play it now and then on Scorpio and I don't own a Xbox.
True. Just like many can play PS games on their PS4, or they can choose to play it on the PS Pro. Thankfully those too are no longer exclusive.

Right. Like if it was Killzone Shadowfall on PS4. And you own a pro, you don't need to go down to the grocery store and pick up a new PS4 slim.
Killzone Shadowfall thankfully its not a exclusive
 
This Halo Wars conversation is fascinating. Really learning a lot about the game.

Im in for the expansion. I spent 60 hours on the campaign alone. Though in fairness 30 of them were grinding for the borked achievements. Played it through legendary 3 times and still aint got them all. I have all skulls, still no cheevo for getting 50% skulls

Ok. ATN dropped today. Think I'm gonna wait a bit as I thought it would be ÂŁ5 cheaper. Today's patch also fixed my skull cheevo issue so I'm glad.

The expansion is 5 levels, meaning 7 campaign missions have dropped in 7 months as well as a ton of leaders. Halo Wars 3 shouldn't take long at all, especially when you consider the base game has only 12 missions (one of which is only 4 minutes long)

I'll just be happy for a Halo Wars 3.

I dont see how they cant given the lack of closure with Halo Wars 2.

On the plus side 343 now have an ongoing Strategy team (as well as an FPS team) and MS doubled down on RTS with age of empires 4. As long as there are no major layoffs at Creative Assembly now the expansion is done id think chances are strong.

The Season 11 balance update is being released 7/18 for Halo Wars 2 on Xbox One and Windows PC. Thank you to everyone who provided input and feedback to help shape this latest update. As well, a special thanks to a handful of players who helped participate in the Halo Wars 2 Public Test Server this time around! Check out all of the details below.

A new season is upon us! With this update we are starting an entirely new season! As well, we are looking to make the title 100% crossplay enabled. To make that happen, we are making 2v2 War crossplay and removing the non-crossplay 3v3 War on Xbox One’s playlists.
  • Season 11 Start.
  • Making 2v2 War crossplay.
  • Removing non-crossplay 3v3 War from Xbox One.
 
I was surprised to hear that over 30 thousand people play this weekly.

I am too, kind of. The multiplayer is fun ( I'm awful at it) but maybe gamepass brought some more player aboard. Either way, I'm glad it has its own little community.
