Hello, everyone! I am new to these forums, though i have loved halo all my life.
I am really enjoying my first day with the game, but as a VERY competitive player, i feel something is missing…
A guide for each character would be wonderful. (Not a “strategy guide”, just bare-bones stats and facts about the mechanics and design elements of the characters.)
There is WAY TOO MUCH in this game to learn, and RTS games take longer to learn by their nature. I want to study strategies, upgrade paths, unit strengths/weaknesses, matchups, and similar subjects, but there is just no way to (other than HUNDREDS of times of restarting the game vs AI testing and discovering things one at a time).
I fully understand that a complete in-game guide is not realistic, and wouldn’t be very helpful to the casual community, but a simple list of upgrade paths, special abilities, and visualizations of the units would help people get deeper into the game more quickly. I currently have no way of even figuring out what each unit LOOKS LIKE other than to go on youtube and watch others. I also have no way of knowing what characters are meant to appeal to designated playstyles, other than to play multiple matches VS A.I. with EVERY CHARACTER ONE AT A TIME and reset every time i make a bad decision. Even just slight “playstyle summaries” for each character would fix that.
Do the devs take suggestions from the community and add them to games? Is there a community guide somewhere? Will any better practice / study options be available in the future?
