Play HW2 open beta, get 3 gold req packs in H5G

It popped up in the xbox community feed that playing one match of HW2OB gets you one gold pack and 5 matches gets you two more.

Interesting. I might have to try this…

I was planning on playing it anyways, so that’ll be a nice treat.

Ohhh wonderful (:

Sweet, only need exactly 3 more before I’m finished.

Better be mk iv in those gold packs. That armor is glorious!!

Is the beta multiplayer only or also campaign beta?

If this is true I might actually try this out.

anyone played it what you think? Mine is downloading and just gonna play this for now. Curious if its better then the last. I personally didnt care for the first halo wars even the I love RTS

Hmm, nice addition to the already free and open Beta.

Multiplayer only. Check the ‘Know Your Enemies’ update in HaloWaypoint’s news section to see the details and which game modes are active when.

Thank you! Always prefer to start solo, but guess I will be jumping right into action.

I wasn’t planning on playing the beta but I think I’m now going to try it just for those Gold REQ packs.

Yes, I played and it’s supa fun. I now think, I should’ve played the first Halo Wars.

I was wondering if they’d offer some sort of incentive to play the HW2 Beta, and now that there is, looks like I’m jumping in and seeing how it is.

Rushing Scorpions still work =)
Got my scorpions to the point where I was able to obliterate the 2 enemy players armies by myself =P
Fully upgraded Scorpions with repair ships = Good times for you, not so much for the other guys.

Great for 343 to get larger sample data, bad for the people who really want to play. Now there will be people who hate RTS games jumping in and throwing matches just to get their free packs. I’ll probably hold off a few days before playing to avoid all that nonsense.

I would much rather have the beta prime, beta star and the beta emblems that were initially available from the h5 beta. I’m not even sure if they are in the req pool rn.
