MAJOR Halor Wars 2 Issue / Disturbing to Halo 5

“…Proving in fact that Halo Wars 2 is conscripted & programmed so poorly that when operating either H5G or HW2 the errors in its program leave the user unable to engage either game…”

So, I’m playing Halo 5 & the game just chooses to not function. It’s only the end of an awesome WZ having used my only legendary RP boost; total freeze, trust me I waited. I did a total shutdown, including removing the power cord, shutdown of the wifi router (which I’m not technically using as I’m HDMI’d right out of the incoming ISP providers box), shut down of the ISP box, shut down of the power chord, the GFCI & the actual circuit breaker. Enough for my wife to come down and say, WTF? Waited a true 5 minutes & then plugged everything in, in a double sequence so that power would not be an issue, should it have been.

Reboot complete. Engage H5. Play WZ at a “Focused” setting. The game freezes as the Pelican is flying over water in the opening sequence for the ARC level. Big X button, Menu button, down down down, select “quit”. Engage H5, Arena FFA, playing, in 3rd place, 3+/- minutes into the game freezes. Now, I’m getting frustrated. I’m seeing a pattern yet not connecting dots.

My gaming partner and I (after I explain the situation) decide on a rational experiment, as non of these issues occurred prior to yesterday, the day I downloaded the Beta. “Partied” only in chat, we both open the Halo Wars 2 Beta. I have my official “High School Varsity Offensive Linemen Coach Stopwatch” on me. After. Going through all the pre game warm ups, and choosing Captain Cutter & after everyone confirmed and the game was beginning its official opening sequence; it choked. Those of you that remember 28.8k dial up or even worse 14.4k dial up would know what was going on yesterday … I started the timer, at 207 seconds I shut down the game and reset it to try playing it again. No more chatting. Flying solo.

I didn’t make it to choosing my player. 3rd time, it made it to the post choice screen / prebuild screen … 63 seconds … There was the pattern. There was the root.

There are no coincidences in today’s world of precision. Everything happens, and does so for a reason; 99.9% of those reasons are “Human Error”. This is an actual fact, non-debatable scientific fact. Now, I’ve established my theoretical question. The next logical step to my hypothetical theory, delete Halo Wars 2. Ok, that took 10 seconds.

I fired up what I think is the hardest process for the Xbox to run, to connect to & to play. I fired up a WZ in a focused setting (we’re both very close to the altar of 152), engaged an RP Jackpot Uncommon; the game played as if the Xbox were brand new.

Next was a game of Free For All, with an Arena boost of Legendary RP; unfortunately I tied for second loser. Yet the game played flawlessly. I might’ve been the host. Off & On between Arena & WZ … flawless gaming. I had some embarrassing moments, god awful perhaps, then again super sweet moments. It’s all about the team you draw & those that communicate & execute as a solid unit not superstars.

Proving in fact that Halo Wars 2 is conscripted & programmed so poorly that when operating either H5G or HW2 the errors in its program leave the user unable to engage either game; most seriously H5G. Leaving a huge doubt into the confidence that either will function, individually or together as it is rumored. Those in charge should be thankful that someone has taken the time to be so detailed into the specific locations of the layman’s visual experience of the errors & taken the time to use a watch to time the events.

With a presale of $79.99 I sure hope you act responsibly as you’ve made several $100’s of Millions already in the last 6 days alone.

People need to see this. Halo 5 has crashed on me several times in the past day or so, and once today. It normally does not crash. I’m inclined to think the HW2 Beta is responsible.

Yeah I actually have noticed this type of problem. I tried to play the beta for the first time after some h5 one day. I hopped in and it wouldn’t let me play because of a sync error. Tried several times with no success. Finally I jump over to help 5 (which had been working fine) and I get the exact same sync error, which prevented me from playing. I had to hard reset my xbox to get it to work again. I’m not sure what the problem is, but I hope they get it fixed. I really want to play both games.

Hahahaha Memories of Master Chief Collection…

Most likely a issue with the beta causing your xbox to have problems itself. Remember, it’s just a beta.

Take this over to the Halo Wars 2 Beta Bug Forum.

Mine crashed buuuut it cuz I didn’t turn off meh Xbox and kept disc in. Overnight.

You have your Xbox connected to a router using an HDMI cable? You may have bigger problems than a game beta.

Using a video cable (HDMI) for networking has probably wrecked your xbox.

Ya like others have said, its most likely not the beta or the games fault, you are connected to a router with a video cable… like why

I have a DVR of HW2 Beta giving me a “Retrieving Data” error in Warzone until I reset the console. I haven’t been able to play a single game on it as of yet, it keeps freezing before I get to/finish the tutorial animation.

You mean the 2 others? The ones as truly stupid as you? You didn’t read a word written. Why even comment? How could you so inept.
There’s a difference between a LAN line & an HDMI cable. Which of the 2 did I say I used. Step out of your miopic box.

I got it to work yesterday, I took my copy of Halo 5 out and was actually able to play.

Interesting. Mindyoink at this point.

Two utterly & totally completely different reactions, yet consistent in each & every scenario. Being the hardcopy HW2 disk creates a consistent problem in WZ. Yet softcopy purchases of H5G & subsequent softcopy downloads of HW2 create issues both in the function of the beta & then random terminations of H5G in both WZ & Arena, with no obvious pattern.

I never thought about hardcopy v. softcopy yet now see that they both yield different processes & different patterns within their respective processes / patterns.

This only shows that there is a specific trigger engaging the actual process; lending credence to there are no such things as coincidences, there is always & only “Human Error”(s).

This is well out of my specific Engineering scope. Yet I’m very sure well within someone’s specific scope.

Im looking forward to finding out what the actual problem(s) are/were. To see if they are related or completely unrelated yet since they’re on a Beta, the margin of error is so high. Anyway, thank you for the awesomeashed input!!

Yeah, I dunno, it’s taken some patience to get into matches. Sometimes, I have to restart HW2 three or four times. I may place, because I love RTS games, but even though this is just the beta, I know that I wouldn’t buy this game for $60.
