I’m curious, how many of you have experienced disconnects/game crashes when it comes to Terminus Firefight? The past 3 Firefight games I’ve tried playing over the past 3 days (with different friends each game) every game ended with someone lagging out. The other day I was playing Solo Terminus Firefight, an hour and a half into it my game completely crashed. I started thinking back to my experience with TF and I realized I’ve lost more games of Terminus Firefight from people disconnecting than I have the enemy breaking through and killing the Terminus.

I find this very disheartening. It begs the question if Terminus Firefight can properly run on Halo Wars 2 without crashing. Obviously I know it’s possible to get to wave 100 because I see them on the leader boards but I’d be interested to find out how many times they had to restart due to disconnects. In fact, the farthest I’ve ever gotten in TF was wave 80 and we lost because one of us lagged out and pretty much destroyed our 2 hour time commitment.

To conclude, I ask the question: Is Terminus Firefight consistent? I answer no. It’s also worth noting my internet is fine and rarely have connection issues in other games.

I’m interested to hear how often you all experience these issues.

Online I find a few connection issues with teammates/ enemies. You know when you hear from your leader of choice,“Our friendly is in trouble” you already know what happen. This happens rarely though so I just shrug it off and search for another match. But in TFF I never have any issues, the only time a friendly leaves/disconnects in TFF is they had to go due to some other personal thing. Though a part of this good connection with one another could be when I play TFF I never play with randoms, I play with friends who are a 2 minute car ride form my house. The only time my game “crashes” is when there is WAY to much going on at once. But you’re right in the fact that in TFF it crashes more often because of the previous mentioned condition. It sucks to lose an hour and a half of progress to completing it, it feels like you just wasted your time, but I’ve just learned to accept it.
