Me and my buddy were playing a game. Wining by double tickets. All of a sudden we lost the game. Out of nowhere. No one disconnected and no one resigned. We were WINING by double the amount of points :’( has anyone else experienced this?

> Lastly, why does Atriox start with more units then cutter? Are UNSC marine squads better than grunt squads? I am scurious as this seems like a very obvious balance problem.
In the first Halo Wars all Covenant leaders start with a higher unit population. The reason why is your guess, Covenant units are overall a tinge weaker than UNSC units. So the Covenant Units are given higher populations to balance out with sheer numbers instead of raw power.
Hey guys game is great except for a few bugs. It won’t load the game consistently and also ibam currently losing while not being able to do anything. I mean i can’t control the untis move the camera or anything. It says it is waiting for players, but the other team captured Alpha somehow.
Hello good not much English, actually I am using a translator to give my opinion.
Well I liked the fact that translated the beta to Spanish that I appreciate it, and I really like the beta reminds me of the first halo wars while I improve, I would have liked but was a game mode IA vs player or other game besides domain but what I’ve seen still the essence of the first halo wars that I love.
Well I’ll look broken record but I’d really like a lot to put back mode vs. AI game player.
Also do not know if it is the domain mode but would rather be a limit higher than 60 units population is very restrictive.
Honestly?
Captain Cutter is at a supreme disadvantage. His starting unit has a big bad gun, sure. But he can’t get another hog until tech 2 with a garage. Atriox gets 10 to Cutter’s 6, and the hog can’t gather resources but the chopper can. Y’see the problem here? As Atriox I can divide my forces into groups of three, take the first three points and at least one power node with absolutely zero resistance given nobody goes to A, get two mini bases up and running and already have investment in the center mini, and MAYBE if I’ve been working fast, have another outpost built. If I’m perfect, two outposts.
…Cutter can’t do that.
Cutter’s ODSTs and Cyclops are also absolutely no match to the spirit drop. The turret is great! But to defeat one cheaper movement of suicide grunts, you need to drop all three- or have your maxed out drop.
Atriox simply has an advantage.
Now lore wise I get it, it makes plenty of sense- it’s clear that the Banished have been here a while, live here and have built their forces for a very long time. But it’s just as clear that not always, is lore more important than gameplay. Indeed, it never is. Lore should supplement gameplay.
Not hinder it.
Now, are Cutter’s units flat out better? I believe the Hog is certainly superior to the chopper, but not the marauder.
I want to play as Cutter, I really do… But I can’t I just flat out can’t play as him, because Atriox simply gives me a much better early game advantage- and in Domination…?
Early game is EVERYTHING.

> Hello everyone! I created an account just so I could give my feedback. I have more hours invested in Halo Wars than any other game I have ever played. I have played over 20 matches so far in Halo Wars 2, here are my thoughts.
>
> Technical issues, I know this is a beta and these will probably be fixed:
>
> 1. Health bars are very small.
> 2. The bullets and missiles of the units are nonexistent when they attack, but it seems like they still do damage.
> 3. I have seen Warthogs shoot air units but the bullets go in a completely different direction in the air.
> 4. The domination points can sometimes be glitchy to capture. A unit would run back and forth next to the point and not do anything. This has happened on both points A & C on the map in the Beta.
>
> Here are some of my inputs:
>
> 1. Switch the abilities screen (LT) and the speed up button (LB). LT feels a lot more natural to press than LB on the XB1 controller, and I hold the speed up button a lot more than the abilities screen. Halo Wars 1 speed up button was LT also.
> 2. The team colors. The different shades of blue and red can be confusing, especially on the bases. Maybe have blue, green, and purple always be together on one team and red, yellow, and gray(or something) on the other team.
> 3. The map in the Beta does not seem to be very strategic. It’s just a big open map.
> 4. About the turrets, which some others have mentioned. I think it’s a good idea to have all 4 turrets in the beginning of the match in Domination because the goal in Domination is to secure points, not attack bases.
> 5. The new dual resource thing… I feel like I have to have two bases full of supply pads and energy things in order to do anything. I think I’d rather have a single resource instead of two.
> 6. The factions… What made the Covenant and UNSC so special in the first game was that they played so differently. UNSC had leader powers, while the Covenant had playable leaders with an ability. The units from one faction were very different from the other. For example, anti-air for the UNSC were Wolverines(vehicle) while the Covenant anti-air were Vampires(air). This led to very strategic options for each faction, and the faction you chose to play really did matter and completely changed your way of playing. In Halo wars 2 each faction has an equivalent of each other’s unit. There is not a lot of diversity. The base turrets, shields, and radars are the only thing that makes the factions different.
> 7. I would like the camera to be able to be zoomed out just a tad bit more.
> 8. I expected the max population size to be a bit larger than 80, especially when marines and grunts aren’t even 1 population.
> 9. When you press the analog stick to highlight a part of the mini map, it would be nice to have a sound to alert you that a teammate is trying to tell you something.

> Lastly, about that definitive edition Halo Wars 1 that will also be coming out. If there could be an updated look of the multiplayer maps and units that would be amazing!!! New 3v3 maps would be a great surprise too!
I agree, on all points. Especially about the units being the same. 343 needs to spend a few dozen more hours playing the original to see that unique unit balance that made it magic to play. Other than the LB/LT mix up the controls seem pretty good.
Also, it looks like some people disconnect before losing and causes the game to freeze with no waiting for player message or auto win when it is the last player on the team.
Why is the halo download and update taking so long. Im 2 hours into the update and still on 1%!?! By the time i get to ever play the game the beta is going to be freaking closed. Come on 343 please fix this issue
Join game, stuck with “waiting for players” although the game is playing.
The Game always freezes at the opening screen and sometimes in-game, this is a potential game breaker.

I’m stuck in the same boat. Only seems to happen when I’m playing Atriox.
with all updates still the same mistakes ¬¬
Today it kicked out of a game back to the main menu I had just started building a second base and out of nowhere just shows main menu no error message or anything
tried playing again today with the lastest update its making progress now it only freezes and crashes after the start screen.
Wow im still stuck on one percent. Well im done i just lost all interest in 343 industries. I miss bungie. They always made everything run so much smoother compared to 343
I have been trying to play for a fe days and after the 15th try o gave up…never even made it into a game…
When I exit the the controller layout menu, the language setting changes for a little while. Other than that, I haven’t had many issues. Great game, though.
Is anyone else having trouble playing the beta? Says connection lost to server every time I try to play it.
