I’m very curious to see what the Halo community currently think about Blitz mode and why do you feel that particular way. Do you guys think you’ll enjoy it or do you think it’ll overall be bad?

Some people think Blitz mode is going to be a “pay for win” gamemode.
Some people think Blitz mode isnt going to be a “pay for win” gamemode just by looking the rarety of units and saw that best units like scorpions, banshees, wolverines etc… are commun or uncommun “cards” and dont cost much to deploy.
f.e a banshee or a reaver (commun cards) cost only 60 to deploy.
In the same time, Jerome, aka The Useless, who’s a legendary unit, costs 200 to deploy…

I am very excited for the mode. These sort of modes add longevity for me and I enjoy collecting cards and making decks. Blitz mode doubled my interest for Halo Wars 2. A few things I am hoping though:
- That there will be many cards and that they are sufficiently different enough to feel like a different card. Very important for the joy of deck building.
- That the leaders are unique from each other, even within the same faction. I want each leader to have a unique set of starting units and a lot of unique cards only they have access to. I want Decimus to play very differently from Atriox, and so on.
- That there is a limit to duplicate leveling. I don’t want someone to have a level 38 grunt that can take down a Condor. Hopefully there is a reasonable hard cap limit for leveling the cards (something like 3-5 levels) at which point duplicates stop dropping (think maxed out items in Mass Effect 3 multiplayer).
- More Blitz mode. Hoping to see later on more Blitz mode like “Blitz Mission” where you co-op with someone to complete a random set of mission maps within the Blitz mode (think Starcraft 2 co-op missions).
- Possibility to play Blitz PvP mode against AI opponents (not to be confused with Blitz Firefight mode).
- Always some form of progression. I want to keep getting progression as long as I keep playing, regardless of what mode I am playing. I am always more inclined to keep gaming as long as there is progression for whatever I am playing.
Those are my wishes/worries about the Blitz mode. If at least half of it is covered, I’ll be happy.
I personally think it looks fine. To me it looks like a relaxing gamemode you play when you want a break from the other gamemodes. Y’know, playing cards, relaxing.

You can’t really judge a unit until the game has been finalized and released. Everything in a beta is subject to change and CA and /or 343i (Don’t remember who said it) did say the first Halo Wars 2 beta was technically an alpha which is before beta, in other words, the balancing wasn’t done, far from it.
I just hope, that there won`t be microtransaction again…
When do I get the cards? When I level up?
Sorry but that`s the same s*** with WarZone… Arena players never will use that Rocket Launcher, so why did he get it?
Better having the normale system of Halo back with a good ranking (which is very good explained how you get High Skill)

For Blitz mode there will be micro-transactions. You can also earn cards by playing the various modes like campaign and so on. If you dislike this, there are regular multiplayer modes that do not have form of micro-transactions.
It’s just ONE mode of many that actually use the micro-transactions so if you don’t like it, don’t play that one particular mode.

That`s the point;
I get those cards “by playing the various modes like campaign and so on. If you dislike this, there are regular multiplayer modes that do not have form of micro-transactions.”
Why do I get something I dont want? They really dont get it. A lot of Arena players hate it in Halo 5 too to unlock Weapons for WarZone but they just want to play Arena. Thats like getting a bullet from my boss instead of money and hes saying that I can still go into a bank with the gun and get money.

But what does it matter? It will show up under your Blitz mode so you will probably never notice getting them even. You don’t need anything for the other modes so you can just play in your own blissfull world and completely ignore Blitz and everything that has something to do with Blitz. I mean, there is no downside to it at all. Why would you go into the bank to get money? You already have the money in the other modes. There is zero extra things to get for them…

I think we Talk about different things xD
I just don’t get it why I get stuff for playing campaign or MP but not Blitz Mode but getting things for something which has nothing to do with it.
I play campaign and get things for Blitz mode.
I play deathmatch and get things for Blitz mode.
Why not something different?

The other modes don’t need any reward system since everything is unlocked there. The only system that has rewards locked away is Blitz. I like the fact that I can get rewards no matter which mode I play. I am very excited for Blitz mode and it’s nice knowing that while my friend and I are playing the campaign co-op, both her and I are also unlocking and developing our Blitz collection so we can quickly jump between campaign and Blitz.
I honestly see no harm in the way they have chosen to do this.

I think it’s better that you may be able to unlock stuff to costumize your ingame player template then unlocking things for something else

But again - you don’t need to because you have everything unlocked? =) Isn’t that better? I mean, you could either play normal mode and get nothing unlocked because everything is already unlocked anyway, or you could play normal mode and get Blitz cards unlocked which is cool if you play Blitz, but doesn’t matter any if you don’t play it anyway.

FTFY. But in all seriousness, Blitz Cards aren’t really a make or break at all. It’s not like they’re polluting a pool of unlocks, as far as we know. Nor are they needed for any of the core modes other than Blitz itself. Hell, it doesn’t even look like a fun mode in and of itself IMO.

Because there’s nothing else to get besides maybe an Emblem or something.
My main concern with Blitz mode, is the way in which your cards will level up as you get more duplicate cards. I fear that if the buffs a unit receives is not limited in some way it will just lead to games being completely one sided.

Yes - card leveling needs a hard cap and preferably a low one.
Most games like blitz have a hard cap on levels so they will probably follow that usually around 10. They then extend the cap when a certain percentage of players start maxing out most of there cards.
Also if you level up your cards it should only take a few games to get higher in rankings so your playing people close to your level/skill. Try clash royale on mobile. Blitz is loosely based off of it. Not by gameplay but card mechanics

So then just play the game. Cosmetics are just Cosmetics warzone and blitz mode have specific items to be unlocked and used that are specifically for that mode. Your analogy doesn’t fit the situation… In Halo Wars 2 you get cards FOR Blitz mode doesn’t effect you skill or rank.
Not a fan of it or it’s microtransactions. I’ll play a few games at launch, but probably will never touch it again.

Blitz most certainly will have a upgrade cap (hopefully). But uh I wouldn’t use clash royale as an example, high level play there is horrible p2w and the game matches you with players 3 levels higher.
