Halo Wars 2 is coming to Xbox Game Pass

This could increase the population and get more people into the game. Or conspiracy theories but that happens all the time.

Seems legit, we could get some new folk.

Pray Forge is nerfed by then.

Garric why do always have to remind me about what is wrong in the world lol

inb4 every new person quits after their first game because there’s no FPS toggle.
Never understood that suggestion.

If a game was built around that, it could be really fun.

But a true RTS is no game for a FPS toggle lol

There was a game like that. Natural Selection 2. I’m pretty sure it got very positive reviews.

I remember C&C had a similar game in development before EA pulled the plug.

Definitely would have played it

My problem is the reasoning. (like most things :p) I have seen many suggestions for an FPS toggle and they boil down to “it would look so cool”
Maybe it’s just me but people overestimate the graphics of Halo Wars 2. It’s impressive but it isn’t a Blur cutscene.

Anyway this should definitely bring players in for at least a few hours.

More new blood!
Good!

FYI:

> yes, Feb. 1 is when it rolls into Game Pass. We’re excited too - Halo 5 got a big influx of new players when it was added and I suspect HW2 will see an even bigger uptick since it’s newer/less people played it prior. But be nice to the new folks, don’t scare them off of MP. :smiley: @ske7ch343

> Glad you enjoy the game! The team here was small but super passionate and put a ton of blood, sweat, and tears into the game with partners at Creative Assembly. I wish it would’ve done better and drew a larger audience but I do really love how dedicated the core playerbase is. With any luck we’ll see an influx of new players next month when it’s added to Game Pass. @ske7ch343

I dont understand why the average gamer would want to add fps shooter #50+ to their game library instead of the only RTS game available on the xbox.

Revert anti air buff before Feb 1st

I feel like with HW2’s hero units it could be pretty neat- but you’d need a lot more processing power than is currently available anywhere to make it happen. Kinda an unrealistic thing to look for.
