Have beta downloaded but i havent been able to play it due to the constant crashing. It freezes when at the title screen and if I get past that it freezes at the skippable intro. Please fix this soon! This is cutting into my beta playtime!
I am wanting to become a beta/game tester and this will be my first official review. I loved the first halo wars with a passion and can not wait for the release of Halo wars 2, as for I will be getting the ultimate edition. The problems I have experienced are, there is a few lag spikes within the game (to be expected from a beta but still should point it out.). This is the biggest problem I have seen, the game freezes when I play causing me to restart my game, this wouldn’t be a problem if it did not happen while playing. I was in a 1v2 (my teammate left) and I was about to win with 3 bases and them having 50 tickets compared to my over two thousand, but then my game froze and I am unsure if it counted as a win or lost. Another thing is that there’s only a ranked mode, I can see the purpose of this but lets say I’m way better then my friend and I want to play with him online, it’d match us against people of much higher skill then him. If this is just for the beta my apologies. I have not come across any other bugs/problems. When one of the objectives get attacked by an enemy it says it’s being captured, so I go kill them and then for the rest of the game it still says it’s being attacked even though no one is there. Now as a fans point of view, I am unsure whether or not I like the new system of how the game works. I would like to think I’m rather good at the game so that’s not why I would dislike the new way it works. I will get the game regardless and appreciate it. I personally think the original is the best (that’s how most games and movies are though) but this will be a good game. I personally won’t be playing domination if there are other game modes. The strategy is the same every time and nothing changes, which is why I do not like it. I do know this is just the beta, and I love it.
Seems Vultures are utterly useless. Mine got taken down almost instantly by a small group of warthogs.
I don’t see all combat animations (wraith and banshee for example), so I don’t know if my units are firing or not.
And I think that the base’s health bar isn’t showy enough.
Well I’ve played five games so far and from what I’ve seen this is my list of Bugs and improvements that can be made.
- Game froze several times and had to restart (expected as I was warned at the beginning before starting to play)
- When the covenant ground units and or vehicles were shooting at my air units, the plasma would be frozen in mid air after it reached a certain height, appeared as if they were being splattered on my TV screen lol.
- I don’t see much improvement in graphics, this is a next gen console and I expected better graphics.
- Add something to the leader to be able to tell them apart from the rest when in battle, I lost the guy.
- Have to let the camera zoom out further, I like moving from one point of the map to the next in a timely manner with the analog sticks and not by pressing a button and porting me there.
- Have to change up the colors, don’t just have to be red and blue.
- Mini map quality could improve as well as the resource amount, hard to see how much I had gathered.
- Domination was a horrible first pick, sometimes won without battling at all myself and just minutes into the match.
- We need the Scarab.
- I would make the bases bigger, they look like outposts with add-ons rather than Main Bases.
More than half a year to release still, I know you guys already have plenty you’re working on and fixing, thanks for taking the community into consideration. Looking forward to the final product.
P.S. If you can add a Space map with Covenant space ships vs UNSC ships I would appreciate it, and it would be epic… thanks
Just search Halo Wars 2 on the store

For those saying that the beta keeps freezing up, make sure you are:
- When you first see the info screen. Wait a minute or so before pressing A. - This is the most important part. When you get to the actual title screen (big HW2 text), it helps to wait a minute or longer before finally pressing start. Usually longer is better.Now, if you waited long enough the tutorial thing should start up. It should be safe to skip it once you are given the option to, but it’s up to you.
If you did not wait long enough, the game will either freeze or crash with a black screen as soon as you see the tutorial thing start up - literally this will happen as soon as you press start from the title screen.
So far the only solution I have found works. Even then, this solution is iffy on whether or not it decides to work for you.
Whenever there is a lot of action going on, the camera will start of go crazy and fly off away from the action to some other part of the map.
Vultures can be easily spammed to the point of being unstoppable.
A color selection would be nice and I think the bases, mainly Banished, need more color on them, less gray.
I can’t get past main menu. Keeps freezing on the Halo Wars 2 logo with the “B Skip” in the lower right corner. Seems to be a common issue. Will try the game again later…
Update: I powered off my console, not just quit the game and that seemed to have solved the problem. I’ve played a few games already.
Update 2: No luck. Still crashing. I will attempt the waiting method.
I have encountered a rare issue where after selecting a profile my app would freeze.
Crashes at the logo screen first several attempts. Started working as I was typing this though lol.
When selecting all units to enemies base or setting global way point at enemies base, If the unit is coming from your base, they get stuck at bridge if it isn’t up and just stand there. They wont run around the map and come to the waypoint. You have to manually select them and walk them around the map till about high way point.
Crashing a lot and title screen and at movie screen.
It keeps crashing I can’t get into the game
I began playing, I exited the game completely, the next few time I tried to launch it froze, until I gave up.
im on the screen part where its saying telling us about the glithes and that and when i go and press A to continue nothing happens ???
Game crashes can’t even get past main menu😢
