Hey everybody! I just want to start by saying that I’m quite enjoying Halo Wars 2 (when it works and I can find a game, which isn’t often the case). I play the game on PC, and while I’m used to more complex RTS games (Supreme Commander, StarCraft 2), Halo Wars 2 stands up in its own way.
That being said, I feel like Halo Wars 2 on PC really does not live up to its potential on PC. While I could make a large list of things I would love to see, there’s one thing in particular that bugs me about the game, which is the inability to select a specific type of unit. The ability to do so would be particularly useful in Blitz, where micromanaging your army is essential to win. Maybe the enemy is away from their base, and sending an air unit out to capture the point quickly would be beneficial. Or maybe you’re defending a base, but want to send out infantry units to get resource nodes that just appeared. As of now, the only way to “micromanage” is to fumble around trying to click a specific type of unit while being unable to control things properly. It’s no secret that the controls on the PC version of the game are bad, and this would help make up for it. But if you mapped specific buttons to immediately select all air units, it would make such plays so much easier to do.
I get it, Halo Wars 2 isn’t Supreme Commander, nor should it be. It’s a simple RTS made for consoles. That being said, if you’re going to release a game on PC, it helps to at least try to somewhat cater to the PC userbase with that particular version of the game.
Anybody else think this would be a nice addition?
