Base Building

I actually hope Halo Wars 2 has free base building kind of like Command and Conquer. It would also be cool to see a sort of galactic conquest since Creative Assembly is making it and love their Grand Campaigns.

you know this doesn’t sound like a bad idea… i’m hopping on this train.

I was thinking the same thing If they had free roam base building it would make the game that much more enjoyable. Having just a few locations you have to look for to spawn a base was annoying. I’m hoping they will do this if not I’m going to be a little disappointed not gonna lie.

Yeah, I believe the bases should still cost money but have the ability to place them wherever.

I agree

I hope the game is somewhere along the lines of the old warcraft games

A more dynamic base system would be nice, but nothing too complex as it’s a console RTS and needs to be fast and fluidly-functional while controlled with a gamepad.

It’s coming to PC and on console will have keyboard support. Should have the option to be complex.

It’s possible, maybe even likely, but that’s not confirmed.

That could become very annoying very quickly

As somebody who has played RTS games on PC for many years and enjoyed Halo Wars when I played it, I think this idea is a solid one at that. It will add variation to the game and also open up peoples possibilities for strategies even further. But at the same time I liked how ‘limited’ you were in what you could do and the fact you were forced to fight over the static bases in order to build up.

Also agreeing with some people that on a controller they would have to come up with an interesting scheme to make building complex bases a lot more streamlined.

I have played a strategy game with base building on the console, it was not that bad, but it was simple. So it is possible, very possible

It all depends on how people use the bases, if they go for a complex design that is. It could work, but it depends on whether or not trolls or noobs decide to abuse such a gift of freedom. So they could go complex, but probably set limits.

It’s possible. I hope they don’t set limits. But allow for the multiplayer to have the Classic Mode. Classic Mode would have the old Gameplay, 1v1,2v2,3v3 set populations/base locations. The other type of game, however, would not have the limitations of the former.

I liked the base building from halo wars, no one got too overpowered or crowded and it was simple

I think this could be awesome, This should happen!! lol.

want it like the first game. love HW

I prefer it be like the first game, I feel it worked well and kept it more simplistic and limited how many bases could be occupied.
Free roam building would provide a lot of base rushing strategies, and would be sort of annoying.

I like the way they implemented it in the first game. Just allow us to place that base wherever it will fit instead of always on set locations

As cool as it would be if Halo Wars 2 had a traditional RTS base building mechanic, I feel the HW1 base building was good because it was simple and worked really well for console. If they were to implement a simple/complex feature, it’d be almost like making to different games. I’m quite curious to see how they end up doing it.
