So with this coming out soon and the definitive edition already out i must ask, does anyone know how moddable the game is?
now when i say mods im not talking about cheating ones typically seen on console but rather ones which add new features such as units, maps or even full campaigns. Halo Custom Edition on PC even after near on 16 years the game is still constantly worked on with mods which add entire new campaigns, features and otherwise redesign it to be more then it originally was
For those who dont know halo has extensive modding community’s for various games many of which im sure woulds love to work on wars
The thing that’s a pain in the -Yoink- is the Microsoft store. When you download games from the abomination it doesn’t download the files on your PC, the files needed for modding. You can still mod the game if you can find the apps XML files and change things, AKA begin to mod. The easier thing would be if one uses a third party program that lets you download the game files on your PC.
All in all. Halo Wars: DE has already been modded and so will the second game too. Google and you’ll find a video of HW: DE being modded.
they dont download the files to your PC? thats odd, i wonder if we could ask 343/creative assembly for proper mod tools or some such
Simple but very interesting the mod thats already out, the potential is there for more hell even with whats shown we can get more units for skirmish/campaign.
Hero Units for the UNSC [Forge and Anders were already in the campaign as units, might be relativly simple to have them buildable by a base or armoury] Other units like the Rhino Artillery, Rebel Sniper, Rebel Infantry and Arcadia Police would also be interesting to have as units since they’re already in game.
The Rhino and Sniper would add their own, unique roles to the UNSC while the Rebel inf and Snipers are just cool to have does the mod work with campaign? like could you play the campaign with the higher unit cap to? that plus the extra units would make for a decent amount of extra replayability
so even in this ‘simple’ form the mods can really come out of their own, especially given how many unique units wars 2 has as per blitz pack
Sorry folks, against the rules to share or discuss modded or the modding of content
