SORRY: Was mistaken. Apparently some games, Halo wars included Require Preview Program

Original Post: Preview program members no longer get back compat before other players. You should be able to download it.

Does it matter if we owned halo wars on disk or not?

10

If you have it on disc, you’ll need to pop the disc in to your Xbone to start the installation. If you own it digitally, the download option can be started from your Games Ready to Install menu.

Glad its coming soon for everyone else.

Is it smooth?

Has anyone actually played Halo Wars on XB1 yet?

So far the particle/obscuring effects seem downgraded. I haven’t yet gone back to X360 to confirm this, but, for example units partially obscured by dust clouds seem very pixelated. I don’t remember it being that bad bad on X360, but maybe I’m wrong.

Otherwise it seems to run decently. I’ve only tried campaign so fair. I’ll be jumping into Multiplayer soon.

I’ll try to be more critical on my next play through and pass on what I see.
