So far I am loving the beta but I feel there is an issue with the controls. I don’t expect everyone to agree with me on this, but I feel like it should be said. The controls just don’t feel like they are meant for a controller. I was a fan of the first Halo Wars and those controls seemed to fit well with the selection wheels and controlling units. Like they took the time to design the controls for the controller. But with Halo Wars 2 they feel like they’re weren’t meant for a controller, but more so a keyboard and was then ported over to a controller instead. Maybe it’s just me being used to the old control scheme of the original game. Hopefully others agree with me as well.
Side note: Could we please get a game mode to test that isn’t domination? It just isn’t a fun game mode to play.
Agreed
I feel the same way you do about the controls. Especially after they were talking about using the keyboard and mouse on the xbox. Halo wars controls setup was spot on.
After getting use to them their fine. I do feel that it wasn’t needed to change the controls from Halo Wars 1 when they would have worked fine in this game.
can we just assign Leader Powers back to D-Pad Up and Universal Select to LB again? Oh, and put the Global rally point either on the R-Thumbstick or out of existence. was there anyone who actually used it? They better have a controller mapping system for this game

I believe it’s the 16th that the beta switches over to Skirmish mode from Domination.

Are you serious? You didn’t use it?
I agree. One thing I think we really need is for the cursor to lock on to allied/enemy units like it did in HW1, because it sucks trying to pin point a small cursor onto a hornet with a joystick.
