First off, I want to applaud them. The New leader “Colony” looks not just fun, but also very unique and truly adds new elements to gameplay. I think that is pure awesome and I’m very happy. I hope this trend is continued and every new leader is unique.
I still feel what would truly make Halo Wars 2 not just a good RTS, but a great RTS is the addition of a 3rd faction… Like the prometheans… Plenty of Lore, Leaders, and Units to pull from and create new ones as well.
With all that being said… this game needs maps to include with leaders… I mean 1 Blitz map is unacceptable. It’s old and played out. Also it needs more traditional skirmish style maps as well. I hope you’re reading this 343… Where are the desert maps, having wraith tanks and scorpions roll through awesome sands and dunes with blowing sandstorms as we play… What about snow maps?? How about either of these terrains with some cool cliffs and bottlenecks to wage war in.
We need maps maps to play these cool new leaders on!!!
I hope maps are in the future.
I mean I’m sure some are right? I just think it would be a good idea to at least include 1-2 maps per leader rollout. I’m honestly thinking with the new Campign DLC it will feature multiplayer maps with it to kind of go along with it in theme… But they seriously can’t expect people to be okay with playing on the same shipped 8 maps and 1 blitz map… Give us like a “Map pack” or something. 2 skirmish maps and a blitz map… do at least 3-4 of those and I think people would be fine.
I hope they get creative with them too, just like they like seem to be doing with the leaders…
the Halo Fan in me is honestly just hoping for a e3 reveal of 3rd playable faction as prometheans to go along with the the larger banished campaign that rumors say is also coming!
We can hope right?
Well from what I read on here somewhere we are getting a 2 mission “mini-paign”. -(Trademarking that)
With how it sounds and feels they have a limited amount of resources for the game and with a new leader every month and I read somewhere 4-5 more leaders I’d be happy with all the leaders and then a whole banished campaign dlc with cool graphic cut scenes by Christmas or something then maps?
New maps are very badly needed. I’m surprised they haven’t come out with any yet.
I hope it’s like a map pack, 2 or 3 maps. Not like hey, you waited a whole month, here’s 1. At this point I’ll take any maps but a pack of 2 or 3 would be welcome. I’d like a jungle or snow map.

1 blitz map is actually acceptable understanding the game mode
good post, i’m surprised the map situation wasn’t addressed with the community update, last thing they said about it was that they’re looking into it and that was a month ago.
They could at least redline the map like MOBAs do. Same map, but a different theme for events and stuff.
Game needs maps badly, awesome leaders and gameplay but rotating 3-4 3v3 maps gets old pretty fast!!
As a special treat for everyone I think they should do a remake of all the popular HW1 maps. Like Docks, Blood gultch, Fort Deen and so on. I think just those three would be awesome and somewhat easy to do.
Yea, I really enjoy this game. I just think that variety is never a bad thing. I have faith though. I really liked what 343 did with DLC when it came to Halo 5. In my opinion it has some of the best addons ever and it was free. This game, I’m totally fine paying for as long as they churn out some good content. I’m not like a lot of folks out there who complain and all about paid DLC. If it’s good, I feel it’s fair to let developers make the money to fund long term support. As long as its good.
But yes maps, maps, maps. There are so many awesome maps that could be made for this game too. The Ark has unlimited geographic opportunity… but if they want… like a few replies on here state, bring back some classics (revamped) and add some cool gameplay gimmicks to the equation. Bring in a new Mombasa city stage from earth, or bring back an awesome blood gulch or sidewinder style map.
i really want an awesome desert terrain complete with dunes and all… I think it would be cool navigating a force through winding canyon area to then have an awesome skirmish in an open desert with dunes and sandstorms for effects. Immersion truly goes a long way towards enjoyment when the canon and lore is as good as Halo’s.
The game is built and ready to have awesome additions. Make it happen 343!!
