I don’t own a xbox and im not planning to buy one just for this one game. im extremely disappointed that the pc verison died within 2 weeks of release. only way to play is if i click on regular team war because no way am i gonna get a rank game. its impossible to play ra rank game now 2 months after release. on behalf of me and the probably less than 100 pc gamers at this point release halo wars 2 on steam. make it a pc only verison but do something because the pc side is dead.
It’s not dead.
HUH?

yes it is almost nobody plays the pc verison of this game. takes ages to find a match even during prime time.

the pc population of this game is dreadfully low. takes forever to find matches even during peak hours.
It is very low when compared to the fact that the game hasn’t been out long. Very disappointing considering I enjoy playing it. I do hope they try and make some sort of effort to increase the player base. Aside from the low number of players the game looks and feels better on PC.
Yeah matchmaking on PC is a no go. Its amazing to see a game like this fall flat so quickly on PC. A release on Steam would certainly give it a breath of life, thats for certain.

Yeah, it’s sad 
such an RTS game should be thriving on PC if executed well. Hopfully is fixed
I’d like to know what the population would be like if they had never released the “patch” a week into the game that caused a ton of crashes, poor performance, etc. without fixing any of the networking issues. It was in an unplayable state for me for weeks, and when finally fixed with the first major real patch I could barely find a game when I came back so just stayed on console since. Obviously it would have fallen off anyway like 90% of games, but surely not this badly.
And the recent news update confirmed they aren’t doing anything with cross-play (just unrakned to keep the game playable would have been good). I doubt MS is going to reverse course and start releasing on Steam again over any one particular game, so little reason for optimism there. Too bad =\ It looks so much nicer in 4k 60 fps.
because people like me can probably never connect online
Now that a Steam release for Halo Wars 1 DE has been confirmed hopefully there will be a HW2 release on Steam in the future.
Probably the only way to rescue the PC population, provided they can sort out the cross play.

Steam uses its own servers that are in a completely unique ecosystem of its own. In order for XBL and Steam to crossplay they would have to open up the APIs for both platforms to work on making it happen. Not saying it couldn’t, but the likelihood of Xbox handing that information over to Steam and vice versa is highly unlikely.
All well.
pretty much sucks spending $75 on a game with a season pass to be dead in a month. Not cool, really prob going to call Windows store see if I can get a refund. I love this game but If I cant play with anyone… Even battleborn lasted longer than this…

Just wanted to point out the Rocket League allows cross play between systems and Microsoft has stated in the past (in regards to the call of duty fiasco) that it was the publisher/dev who were preventing the cross play. Which really begs the question as to why 343/microsoft isn’t allowing cross play between steam and pc… and even pc and xbox for that matter.

I stand corrected on “highly unlikely”. Well one can hope that they open it up then!
