First I’m not the Postumn employee of the 343.
Second I do not have active account in Haloway.
I play since the open beta, daily.
This game is dying daily for simple things to solve.

  1. expensive and very frustrating to be disconnected in hw2, and continue online on Xbox live, and be wrongfully penalized with-35, that and be doubly penalized. A script that admit that you did not rage quit had in the Hw1 10 years ago, why not here?

  2. Huge difference in speed between players (lag) This favors a lot to those who live near the Data center of HW2 servers. Why not make equal hw1 same lag to ALL.

  3. PC Vs Xbox, see well pc has unique commands, how to order that certain troops stand still on guard, among others as macros, Keybind, hot Key,
    why do known players use Pc in HW2 and never return to the Xbox? Only blind don’t see that. Save the HW2 on the PC and the detriment of the Xbox and disrespect all control players.

  4. Do not force me to play against people with computer, I bought the console to play hw2 not to serve as a subject of entertainment for people with superior hardware and software.
    Developers worry about developing the game, let me choose how to play, Xbo vs Xbox maybe PC vs Xbox, do not force us to play PC vs Xbox.

  5. paper, Stone, scissors, grunts and Marines in large quantities in 3:45 or 4:13 with 3 or 4 snipers or powers of leaders completely breaks the balance of the game, the turrets are dumb and slow when it comes to attack priorities 4 snipers in midle of Mariners Are untouchable, sucides cant close, leader too.

  6. Clenense Beam, returned again joins lag and troops that slows you down or powers of leader more Clenese LVL 3 = Whipe who is better to split Xbox? Pc? Same?

It saddens me to see fewer players in the game than I love every day.
With respect and civility I leave my opinion, with the best of the attached.
I will not go back to see the answers, the topic will be locked and I shall be banished.
Long Life to HW2

This disconnect issue seems to happen mostly to Xbox players.
The crappy part is that when a guy in your team disconnects…then you have to play alone vs 2 players and its nearly impossible to win. But…after you lose that 1v2 game, you still lose your rank…and sometimes a lot of it(50%+).

I kind of agree with Xbox vs pc matches being unfair. I can’t really imagine playing on Xbox using a controller.
Its “sad” whenever I see my teammate slowly “scroll/pan” from one side of the map to the other side, just to see where his units are and then pan the camera back to base to build some units/buildings, then scroll all the way across the map again, back to his units. Even funnier is when I ping a location and he tries to look what I’m showing…and scrolls over the ping location…then back again.
With a mouse, it takes less than a second to jump between locations on the minimap.

Also, i wonder if xbox even has control groups that are easy to use.

We do have control groups, but they are impossible to use consistently. Console needs unit type control groups.

We do also have the advanced controls, such as “hold”: On Xbox,If you go to Options -> Controls -> Controller Layout (A) -> RB tab to Advanced Controls.
You can then see all the Advanced Controls.

Hold is RT + Double Tab LB
If you have LT/LB Swap enabled, then it is RT + Double Tap LT

I do use that one from time to time. Its nice to send a unit to a far location and not worry about selecting “all units” to redirect him. Or if you want to keep some AA units at your base.
