343 pls… I’ve been playing the early access and it’s been weird. Offline campaign runs smoothly and the story’s pretty good. But online’s… something else. I’ll just list all the undesirable stuff:
- Constant dc’s from everyone and having to self destruct or sit in base due to numbers disadvantage - Fps / response lag online only - the level up notification clearly says that you got a pack as a reward… but you don’t get one (FOR SURE this happened at least twice to me now… WTF) - being stuck in the load screen or freezing upon match start and having to restart the game… AND IT RESULTING IN A LOSS (not just me, I’m seeing the same people in my very next games) - probably just because it’s early access… but the matchmaking process takes forever to find other players - wth is versus ai set for 3 random modes??? make 3 separate queues please… - having to click like 5 times on a single unit to be able to select it - clicking on the minimap and having the game treat it as if the map was nonexistant (not shifting to the location on map, but just clicking the ground/unit under the minimap - I’m fine for now with the controls, but total biscuit wasn’t wrong those interface gripesPlease… fix this game. I haven’t played a Halo game since Reach, but I’ve always still been a Halo fan and kept up with the news. I grew up with the series. Put yourselves in the player’s shoes, and take a look at what I’ve listed. Cause this stuff is pretty infuriating. Excuse the negative connotations, but it truly is sad to see a sequel to a game you played in your childhood in this current status. There are many more positives. Seeing a game you’ve enjoyed come back after what, seven years? Being able to see such great artwork. And seeing the lore of Halo being expanded upon, not limited to the Chief alone. However, this isn’t enough, and you devs know that. godspeed
I appreciate the fact that you took the time to post concrete issues with the game. Much, much better than just spewing a bunch of hatred toward 343 and HW2 in general.
I agree TC. The disconnects are the primary issue that is making my experience very, very frustrating. I don’t know enough about unit balance yet since I haven’t spent that much time with it. The Blitz packs are simply broken. After every game (literally every game) I get a notification saying I ranked up and received a pack.
Hope these issues get resolved. It’s early, but good God lets not have another MCC
I want to see the devs behind one of my favorite franchises succeed. But we can’t get the game to a better state by sugarcoating the problems. I was considering the purchase of an Xbox for the MCC… but I’m primarily a PC gamer now. Halo Wars 2 was an insta-buy for me as a result. Things will definitely get better for the game, but they need to tackle the right issues, the ones that the fans NEED to be fixed.
Yeah hopefully the issues are resolved by full release, regardless of the problems I really like the game and I want it to do well. I’ve primarily allocated myself to playing 1v1 blitz matches since I’ve only ever had one disconnect from those along with a stable frame rate and response time for the majority of my time playing it.

I’ll keep that in mind. Not to brag… well I am, but my winrate ratio was in the 50’s before today. If what you said is true then the probability of my opponent dcing vs me is probably higher since my internet is decent. Time to inflate my winrate LOL jk
Well -Yoink-. I just leveled up again and DIDN’T get a blitz pack even though it said I did…
