First I would like to say that I am not trashing the game by any means. The amount of blatant complaining and hate here is absolutely irrational for a beta. The first day of a beta no less. I mean come on people! If you hate it so much then maybe tell them why instead of uninstalling the game and grumbling on here because that isn’t gonna make the game any better.
Now for my feedback.
I have never played the original Halo Wars though I have been told by everyone that I should. Obviously I had a problem with getting the game to start without freezing so I’m not gonna go into that issue.
My real issue is that I am not having fun. I had to drop the game. After playing it with my friends who are veteran Halo Wars players and hearing their comparison to the original I can see why so many are frustrated. A lot of the changes I have heard about just don’t make sense to me and I find myself wanting to go buy the original over playing this.
I feel that the game itself is not being given a proper chance. I WANT TO TRY THIS GAME but the matches go by so quickly that I have no chance to figure it out before it’s over. Because of the extra resource required to build it takes a long time to assemble a good army and try out some of the cool stuff and by that point the enemy who has been busy around the map has taken most of the bases and almost won. The rounds go too quickly and no one ever gets to build the big bad stuff or get a real feel for the new controls.
Introduce Skirmish, private matches and offline bots so we can actually get a feel for the game and test it’s features and balance between units. The matches are going way too quickly to try anything or collect any real feedback.
All I want is to get on and vs my friend and each of us make a truce and just build massive armies and then meet in the middle of the map! That’s all I want!
It’s probably due to the game-type, they’ll be changing to another one later through the week…which should involve longer matches.

Hopefully. I’m not playing it any more until they add a longer game mode because the matches always end as soon as I am actually ready to fight.
Match length is extended a bit and unit progression is faster with the right strats.

Are you just making a counter point to my statement or did they actually increase the match time since I played yesterday?
He’s saying matches can last a good amount of time if you actually try to dominate the map like your opponents are doing. If you let them control everything the match will end in 5 minutes.
I had plenty of matches last night where I got to 4 bases and a full tech 3 army. I accomplished that by doing things with my units early on - not sitting back.
Try and send a Hog and some troops off to domination points early if your opposition is too.
Just played 5 games where the enemy didn’t really do that so I was able to get most of the points for my team and we won quite comfortably.
Well the problem here is that I am not used to Halo Wars so I’m not really good enough to rush at the beginning. It’s pretty hard for me to learn the game when it is going so fast.
i stopped reading at this point “I have never played the original Halo Wars though”. go pick it up for $20 on xbox one digital…it’s way better then this one imo.

Well you see, that’s fine and dandy… Except the only reason why this one isn’t better is because people like you keep forgetting it isn’t final and that the whole point of the beta is to give them the feedback they need to make it better.
