I for one hate it. However their’s time for changs
This isn’t a war it should be called Halo Skirmish the max unit count of 60 may seem the same as the first halo wars but that is a deception. Units cost much more population ,even a grunt squad with fewer grunts costs 2 population in this game rather than 1. If anything this is next gen we should have more unit count than the first halo wars I want all out warfare and the new group idea would be a brilliant way to integrate it.
The new "classic halo wars " gametype domination added in control points straight out of company of heroes. Not a bad decision to avoid camping however their should only be 3 control points for a map of that size A,B,C Their’s too many control points for a console rts and the player has too few tickets and loses tickets too fast. Only rarely do games last longer than 20 minutes. I’ve never had time to destroy a main base.
The art style I’m not a fan of ,and their’s not enough units. Having two resources is also a bad idea and no tech level eliminates the strategy of taking out reactors.
I hate that stupid placement matches and resetting rank each season dynamic 343 sticks with it should be a skill level 1-50 like halo 3 never reset our rank.
Classic units such as Cobras ODST’s and elephants are gone I presume because they were “op” instead of making units to counter them 343 scraps the units instead.
Some positives, I like the new heroes and leader upgrades tree and I like how the covenant and humans are more balanced. I dislike how their’s no shield generator for covenant however. And that commanders seem to have no unique units
Overall this game isn’t heading in the direction I would like and I wish they would give us the classic halo wars experiance simply improved upon.Instead of trying to change things so drastically this doesn’t mean change us a bad thing but they should stick to what made halo wars such a beloved game in the first place.
