Sometimes I get thrown out of the beta and returned to the dashboard. So far, this hasn’t happened during a game, but it’s starting to occur ever closer.
So after many hours playing and analyzing the beta I’ve got some ideas that need to be addressed and may be fixed with the update.
- Loading screen needs to be adjusted to faster load times and not having one player on a screen that states WAITING FOR PLAYER while your teammate is still loading - Not being able to see your units attacking but seeing your enemy receive damage slows your reaction time, making you double up your micro and macro uses. - Hearing Captain Cutter telling you that you’re losing when you’re actually in the lead. - Being disconnected from many games, or stuck on the loading screen while your partner plays (you can still monitor partners progress but cannot interact while it displays WAITING FOR PLAYER) - Being disconnected or booted from the beta entirely while loading (hasn’t happened in game yet to me)The rest of the feedback I have I will post on the other feed as they aren’t really technical matters. Hopefully this helps. This was after I played close to 50 games between 2 days. Being “booted” or “frozen” definitely caused some losses which dropped me to solve placement, but I’m unsure if that will affect the released version later.
Well yesterday the halo wars 2 was updated after the patch that was released.It fixed the language issue but i experienced three issues: 1.The game starts as normal,goes to the main menu and after pressing start it does not take me to the next section.2.As number 1 it takes me to main menu but after i press start it freezes the chrashes.3.As number 1. after im at the main menu i got thr downloading latest matchmaking data(remember that guys from mcc) and then it stays like that more than 5-10 seconds.
Okay so it was running great but right on the death arch update switch it now keeps hanging 8n the “waiting for players” screen again for no apparent reason other than possible glitch that was recently fixed is back again?
Another issue where after picking Commander game lags and you end up default with Captain cutter
Is just me or is it taking a long time to start the match

> The Halo Wars 2 Multiplayer Beta is up and running! It is, of course, a “true beta,” with plenty of rough edges and a few players have reported a couple of issues, including one that doesn’t allow them into the main menu. We’re still working to isolate what those specific causes are, and the age-old ten-second power recycle seems to fix the problem for some players, however some have also reported that waiting for approximately 4 minutes at the Beta introduction screen or main menu screen before hitting A/Menu Button has resolved the issue for them. Stay tuned for more on the Halo Wars 2 Multiplayer Beta!

Its having issues loading the game ita atuck at waitinf for players screen for about 3 min
My complaint isnt for myself but for the enemy… so my team had cleared all major bases except for for a few 2 spaced buildings. It was obvious that we won however we had to completely remove everthing on the map. I cant see this being very amusing or entertaining for the enemy and i really felt that it should have awarded us with the win to just speed the process. Im not sure if its an issue but i just want to post my opinion about it.
Sadly, I’ve installed the Halo Wars 2 beta where it would stay on the initial screen where it says: “THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THIS BETA”… The awesome track plays on loop which I love but upon pressing “A - Continue” nothing happens, it just stays on this screen. I’ve uninstalled the game and re-installed it, still won’t go any further.
Would be awesome and much appreciated if someone on the 343 team could help me be part of the experience.

Also i was in a middle of a match and the game just ended and said defeat. This was death match. I had units and the other team had units just when the game was getting good then game over

Have you tried to restart your console? Might help.
OMG love the new Death Match board. also love that the units now move attack as well, and not just move like zombies.

I did that at first with no result… but I’ve just discovered something odd which worked… My controller switched off due to its power saving timer, then when I switched my controller back on, it took me to the menu. It did a quick config download and restarted the game itself and had my initial problem so I just turned my controller off and back on again and pressed A… sorted
Thank you for your feedback, RomanAtol
You know I was having a. really good game about to crush the opposing team when al of a sudden the game tells me I was defeated. The enemy didn’t destroy all my bases and out of no were it said I was defeated and booted me from the game. Left my friend to play by himself, hopefully this is fixed by launch because it happened to my friend as well.

Wow, that is quite odd. I had the same problem but was the complete opposite. I switched comtrollers while i had the game on and it wouldnt let me use the controls unless i used the original control that i started the xbox with.
Your welcome, ThePhlee85

u have to select the guy after the players are matched up. once you do that the 1st time. u can play as covie the rest of the time.
just did my second death match game. LOVE IT!!! still issues with players either quitting early or getting kicked, but both games were great. remaining player really gave it their all.
the glitches with the weapons fire seems to be corrected. and so has the unit move while attacking.
one thing that i have noticed, is that the UNSC air units seems to be overpowered against the covenant variant. but there are other strategies that ive worked around this.
overall GREAT GAME.

I wonder if it hasn’t got anything to do with the controller updates? Not that I can see any reason for controller firmware to be affiliated with one game in particular as it only happens with this beta… but then again the nature of the problem is related to the controller. Anyways, it works which is all I was hoping for
bug report:
- Error animation of sand https://account.xbox.com/en-us/screenshot/7a204318-eb39-4ab9-b86a-1ed8c21325e0?gamerTag=bilvio95&scid=ef860100-a8b0-40a6-8331-b5760d5e8150 - written in Cyrillic
First session of Halo Wars 2… LOVED IT!!! Death match really awesome, looks beautiful, fun… only thing is that I never got to attack my enemy because my ally took out the enemies before I was even ready (I was preparing a army to be reckoned with). Took a few minutes to find a game but that’s likely due to my bandwidth and not relevant to the beta.
Please ensure an awesome single player campaign, I have no doubt it’s going to be epic. Please allow offline Player vs. AI Death Match / Skirmish mode, mostly to cater for players who don’t have internet access but also for players like me who’s bandwidth is unstable and experience high latency at times (my connection drops a lot and leaves me unable to play a number of games that require internet access for a while which is extremely frustrating).
I’m happy with the game regardless, definitely will buy it either way… just would like to see more gamers enjoying the product as a whole.
