Let me start off by saying that i completely understand that this is a new game and still in beta. I have no problem with that but i did have some ideas that i would like to snowball off some of you guys and see what you think. in my opinion i think these changes will add to the game for the better. ( some of these ideas have been done in halo wars 1 but i believe it can be done better)
So lets begin
-
I would like to see a cover system sorta like company of heroes 2. (im not asking for the same thing, just to kind of reference from). As far as being able to select a group of UNSC Marines and place them behind either a pile of rocks, trees, or even a working vehicle. (and even a vehicle that has already been destroyed) i would also like to be able to make my own cover like digging a hole you know or something . this is halo you cant tell me you never used cover in the game, why not in hw2. This would add some more strategic to a game where iv seen 10 squads of marines just sit there and shoot at each other until the other team wins. normally the guy who had one extra unit… kinda boring and stupid in a strategic way.
-
Customization!!! when i think of a RTS i think more customization the better . for example being able to decide if i want a group or Marines to be more geared to AA infantry give them a sniper or AA vehicle let one guy have a rocket launcher. And lets not stop there we can have medics, mechanics and so on. This can also be done with the warthog. or any vehicle in the halo world. (Stop) before you start yelling at me and saying well the marines can be upgrade to have rockets bla bla bla. what im proposing is very different.
-
i would like to see deploy-able stationary turrets like the M80 missile launcher or the M247 General Purpose Machine Gun, and of course the Stationary Gauss Cannon from a pelican that allows me to place it in any defensive position i choose. Witch will let me choose to beef up a position but also giving me the opportunity to play the way i want weather i want to rush , or build up a huge defensive wall and watch you try to blow it up.

last but not least having a game that is easy enough to maneuver with a controller and challenging enough to play on a PC. first off i should say that i do not plan on playing this on my Xbox one . Why might you ask. well would you get sushi at a Mc Donald’s ? i hope not . i feel like a rts game is born to be played on a computer, and i dont think halo wars 2 should be cross playable with the Xbox One just because the PC player has a clear advantage. im not saying dont play on the Xbox one . i just feel like it will be a better experance on the computer. let me know what you think about these ideas that i have proposed . and post some of your own .
Thanks
