Really dont know what I should think about it…

Personally I think (after playing both betas) that the game will be awesome.

But game magazines get about 90% for sure money to write something positive about the game. Spieletipps from germany is the best example.

But its cool to read what other computer magazines from other countries write, I like that

TIL RedBull produces news articles about video games. Whodathunkit. Pretty nice article, too. Better than I was expecting from a soft drink manufacturer lol.

4

For some reason Forbes also does video game articles… They seem rather negative towards Halo Wars though, so I doubt their articles will ever be linked.

They are negative on every Halo. So they must be biased against Halo.

OH man day one and im pretty pissed. seriously a decade in the making and this is what we get. ive got to get a few things off my chest. unfortunately they are things that there most likely unable to or wont fix.
-First off literally the first thing i said was " this is a joke right"… the bases! man do they look retarded what -Yoink!- monkey saw those designs and said OK…“this just in! creative assemble hires the first blind concept artist in video game history for there new and upcoming tittle halo wars 2” … like WTF… generaly not just that either the graphics are overly detailed and cartoony aswell its very difficult to destinguish between the building typs on your base because there just plane generic looking or something… theres little differentiating visually the unsc buildings and units from the covenants. you would think and alien race would do things somewhat differently…
-The colors please do something about the colors in multiplayer and the voice overs are just brutal. 2 blue just one lighter than the other… really next gen ?
-matchmaking is brutal this isnt a fps…is it realy to complicated to have the classic search function where you can pic what you want to play with how many players and what map… i droped 10 games right off the bat trying to get a 3v3 or because of those stupid fps game typse your pushing on an RTS where they dont belong. my poor team mates. this realy needs to be fixed i just wanted to play a 3v3 standard and aparently thats impossable without a full party. second get rid of the random game type thing in AI play i would like the power to play what i want to play.
-I was expecting alot more diversity and strategy form the maps and units umm free build ???.. im blown away unit selection screens are still 50 percent empty … for the most part new unit typse are just revised old unit cobras kodiaks yada yada

  • in stead of the nice diversity in charater types and the way they look and play its just been generalized theres realy no difference in how the individual leaders you pic work its a huge step back.
    -bring back reactors for tech please.
  • when myself or ally highlight an area on the map could you make it noticable please i cant even see it and im the one doing it.
  • overall this game significantly let me down for 10 years and a next gen console i truely was hoping for a step forward not a step back … especially in the graphics department im blown away by that. just like the old saying if in aint broke dont screw with it. they really didnt do anything commendable on the new side. most of the awesome things about the first they went and changed but all the bad things we wanted changed they didnt do jack about. … honestly 5 out of 10 im so disapointed. listen to your fans please its there money you want after all.
    still lots more quams but its only been a day… ill be back im sure
