Every once in a while I’ll get stuck on the loading screen to get into game. It might just be my internet though xD. Another thing is when a player drops out all their resources are destroyed, leaving their teammate in a severe 2v1 disadvantage with limited resources. My suggestion is to give the player still in game all resources and control of whatever units the leaving player had. This would leave the player with a chance at winning instead of an auto loss just due to not having the resources to fight twice as many enemies. I’ve played games where if one player drops out, the other almost immediately follows up just because they’ll get overwhelmed in the 2v1 situation. I know that if I had their resources in a 2v1 that I’d have a fighting chance instead of getting bagged on as soon as my enemies get notified that my partner left because they know that they can overwhelm me so much easier at that point. Any special units they have that I wouldn’t normally be able to control in the situation that I gained their resources, I would have control but couldn’t produce more. Their base can transform into the type I’m using to accommodate my commander, or I’d gain the ability to control and switch between both our selected commanders and use their abilities accordingly. Save me the stress of teammate dropouts and give me the ability to actually stay competitive in the match instead of the illusion that I can pull of a victory or the straight butt -Yoink- that comes after if my opponent knows what they’re doing.
At first I kept getting stuck at the tutorial video, then I waited a few minutes on the intro screen and it actually worked.
Also, every time I try to play a second match, I’ll get in the game, but there will be a blue semi transparent bar across the screen saying “waiting for players” that doesn’t go away, and I’m unable to do anything, and that includes pausing the game. I end up having to close out the game. I don’t know if it’s connection, but my connection is usually good enough for Halo 5 and Battlefield 4 matchmaking to run smoothly.
halo wars 2 not working after I downloaded it. keeps freezing on halo wars 2 title screen
I can’t play at all. The game keeps freezing after I push the Menu button after the title screen.
I will be as detailed as possible in case it helps diagnose this.
I have a Day One edition Xbox One console. It has a 500 GB drive with no extra storage attached (read on for some more details about that). I have been attempting to play with. I’m in the Seattle area and my console was purchased on the first day it cane out from a local retailer.
I began downloading the beta on Monday evening. Several seconds, after I began the download, I checked the ‘My games & apps’ screen and noticed that there may not be enough space left in the hard drive to fit the beta. So I immediately deleted one game to free up an additional 45 GB or so. I don’t know how much this matters, but that happened to be the first game I ever installed on my Xbox One, which was Battlefield 4. So the space I freed up (which again, occurred after I started the Halo Wars 2 download) might be from the “earliest”/“lowest” space on the disk.
The download was taking so long that I decided to go to bed before it finished. I set my Xbox to shut down after six hours of inactivity. The next morning (today), I noticed that my Xbox was off. I didn’t check it then. When I got home from work, I turned on my Xbox and checked the ‘My games & apps’ screen to see that the Halo Wars 2 beta had been fully installed. It looked normal.
So I start it up and see the initial splash screen with the message about the games beta status. After pushing the A button, the game froze just as dashboard and used Industries logo was appearing on screen. The video froze and the audio frozen in a repetitive stutter.
I used the Home button to go to the main console dashboard and used the Menu button on the controller to close down the Halo Wars 2 beta.
After starting it up again, after the ESRB warning, the screen remained black for a long time, about a minute, though I could hear music playing. I closed down the game again.
After starting it up yet again, the screen again remained black with music playing after the ESRB warning, however this time I waited about two or three minutes. The main title screen eventually appeared, the one with the sort of panning shots of the Spartan with the tank and the warthog. I pushed the Menu button and received a message that said something to the effect of “A new configuration has been downloaded. The game will now restart.”
So I pushed the A button and the game restarted on its own. Now, I can reach the main Title screen. However, if I push the Menu button the game would freeze on a dark screen that showed a different version of the Halo Wars 2 logo. This just keeps happening, even after ahitting down and unplugging my Xbox and then trying again.
… aaaaand after typing all of that out and trying to start the game like ten times, the game seems to work now. I was just about ready to uninstall it and try installing it again. So now I was able to watch the tutorial video and am now waiting to join a match.
On a side note, it’s unfortunate that you couldn’t get the same voice actor for Cutter, and it’s really strange that you made him look younger.

> Where do I go to join the beta?
Xbox one store its a free download just type in halo wars 2 open beta or just halo wars 2
The beta fails to boot, after pressing the start button , quickly press the B button to skip and can not be frozen game
First off i would like to say i absolutely love the game. And i am a HUGE fan of Halo and most important halo wars. I have played well around 16-17 hours in the game already if not more and gotten my fair game play of it to see alot of bugs. Lets get down to them.
Login screen
- start screen tutorial video has a crashing problem if you click skip to fast
- solution wait around 5-10 seconds before skiping
or remove it and keep the option to find it in settings if not a tab of it’s own.
(patched can ignore)
Game mode itself
- games tend to be a little quick for testing out troops or getting the hang of the game.
- solution: add more tickets and make it so majority of the of control of points gets to remove tickets not just haveing one and able to take them away (example) ( if i have 3 points and you have 2 i should be able to take away your tickets away slowly you should not be able to take mine at all unless you get the majority of the points). If that dose not work add new game modes for us to test. So we are not limeted to the one game mode. (Others are bound to have bugs too).
- we need more maps and gamemodes to call it a real beta if you would like us to find real bugs for maps, units,spells est. Other things need testing as well.
Disconnecting problems or just freezing
•the game will close out and relaunch by itself in loading screen or the second the games start rarely in the game itself.
•after loading screen and sometimes in games everyone or just yourself will freeze.
-Keep in mind these do count twoard our losses
Character select and in game bugs because of it
• if character is not pick and or locked in (have not found out which yet) ( I don’t like losing games by dc so have not tryed it alot) when you load in the game you get to see the map and your base but the “waiting for players” message dose not go away. Keep in mind i am in the game so i can see what everyone else is doing on the map but can not interact with the game it’s self. ( i have lost about 6-8 games because of this) (that and just the game closing).
troops bugs
-
warhog
• shoots the wrong way all the time
• is a little slow for a warhog if a spartain can allmost keep up with it
• raming is cool but a little slopy there is no “real” annimation for it you just kinda drive into things and if they die you just keep driving. Needs some knockback or some real feeling to it. -
Tank
• canistershell upgrade dose not have an annimation, if even works at all can’t tell yet. -
snipers
• the line they have when they shoot is cool but needs to be faded down a bit because if you have alot of them the lines take up the whole area they shoot makeing it allmost impossible to see.
Unit selection
• needs a real ping when you move them, because if there is one it is not able to be seen.
•troops sometimes get stuck in the base when you build mass quantities (5-6)
-solution i found
- rapidly click to move them about 8-10 times will un bug them.
• units spazz out when walls,checkpoints, bases, and even other units. (Mainly the Marines brute grunt squads)
Announcement person and text
•talks to you for both teams whether it is Cooldowns loseing winning
• text is missed a lot if you are not paying attention to it.( new color but not one that will distract the players)
Mini Map
•need to be able to see ally cursers
• the pings need to be changed not just a little vibrate and small white ping (make it like the old halo wars just add a little spice to it aka covi gets their own and unsc gets theirs.
• need a little red alert if attacked but small so it dose not anoy players if it is spamed.
• mabe even special pings such as, on the way(blue or green), move away(red),group up (yellow). Etc you don’t have to follow the colors.
•i don’t know what to put this under but it is very very big deal.
•when you see a army or even a couple of troops on the map you tend to not see them actually till they are allmost on top of you.
AI Pathfinding
•troops tend to take the long way instead of the short ways to battles
•troops will randomly start to run away from battles or just mindlessly walk away from where you told them to guard.
Commander powers
• may not open some times
• mac dose not have an animation if used to fast.
• Cyclops tends to not even have a drop pod just kinda spawns there.
• covenant dropship bugs out alot (bugout meaning stays in that one spot for the rest of the game and keeps attacking) if attacked while droping troops.
• lazer beem for covenant leave a black outline were it was so any trrops that go into it when it is gone are un seeable
Building menu
• is a little slow to work around with the joystick. Takes time to get used to but still is a little chopy to get from top to bottem.
Pre ordering
- i don’t know if this caused it but it started right after.(it is fixed now)
• when i pre orderd the ultimate edition my Marines would glow really bright which would make it hard to look at them and even want to control them.
This is all i can think of other than nurffs and buffs that are definitely!!! needed. I will inform you if more bugs are spotted.
Personal request from Fans and Myself: If possible add some Promethean definitely the flood and some wildlife on the maps not all places are deserted and battlefields most have neutral creatures that can be harmed(real life and your comics and movies). I know that allmost every halo wars player wants to be able to play if not have to fight more of these in the maps not just the campain. But i know this can be alot of work to be asked for in a game you have allready planed for allready never the less Alot of people would play $$ for dlc that adds this,even me. But this can be possible for another halo wars just throwing it out there.
THANK YOU so much for halo wars 2 and keep up the great work and i look forward to seeing what you can do to halo wars 2 there are so many possibilities you can do with this game and you may not even know it.
Do reply to this if you have things to add and or would like to talk about. (Fans and Creators)( I am updateing this for new things that come up such as patches or more bugs).
I’m stuck at the “A - Continue” screen 
It just keeps on crashing and crashing…
One main issue is it taking either a very long amount of time to get to the main screen or not getting there at all, when it does get there graphics look excellent. I have tried to get to the main screen about eleven times then, it finally got the the main screen. Haven’t played the first one so didn’t really know how to play it. Maybe even in the next beta for a game maybe add a tutorial. Really cool once I got the hang of it. I would like to add that the map could be a little easier to maneuver around. It was a little bit to get used to.
Yesterday during a party, it froze… the only way to leave the game has to stop it.
Hello I had a problem with the launch of the game (on the map) there are marked “waiting for player” for about 5 minutes before tournament that the party starts normally.
Keeps freezing on halo wars logo and says press b to skip been stuck there lame
I got a few launch issues, but after launching the beta a third time I got into the game. The first match dropped a single player from each team, so instead of being 2v2 it was 1v1.
I know this sounds crazy, but I’ve tried everything given as a fix on this feed from a hard reset to waiting 4-5 minutes at the thank you screen. I have whatever the normal current build of the GUI is, not the experience beta. I haven’t even been able to get past the thank you screen! The only thing that worked for me was turning off my elite controller and switching to a regular one. It worked immediately and has worked fine since! Hope this helps, been trying to get it to work since yesterday morning
We need to get rid off 343i. First it was mcc and now this… I see a very dark future for Halo if 343i is still in charge.
Got stuck in the command tree menu at the beginning of a match

> My game seems to freeze up when I press start on the title screen. I’ve tried closing the app and restarting, I’ve tried signing out of my profile and signing back in, I’ve even tried powering off the xbox and unplugging the power for 30 seconds. Still no luck. Anyone else having the same problem? Any ideas of what I need to do to fix this and move past it?
