I love Halo Wars but something about this one feels off… I love it but something just doesn’t feel right and I can’t figure out what…
Whilst on this topic… What happened to the ‘all units’ command?
hold right bumper. still looking for a move screen faster button tho
You can still select all units by holding down the right bumper instead of clicking it, probably should have been in the tutorial. I’m having a more difficult time trying to figure out how to set and remove a global gather point. With how painful it is to scroll the map setting individual rally points is pretty restrictive right now.
It definitely feels off. I played a ton of Halo Wars and everything from map navigation, to unit micro, to the actual units’ projectiles are different.
I know it calls itself halo… but it just doesn’t give me that same vibe that halo wars one did. It has aspects halo, but it doesn’t feel like halo at all… it just feels wrong.

Hold Left Bumper to move faster
It’s being developed by 343i, not Ensemble Studios.
Ensemble had a lot of experience with RTS games before they did Halo Wars. 343i, on the other hand, has had a hard enough time just trying to make decent FPS games. I’m willing to bet that this will be yet another game that blows up in their faces.

And i’m willing to bet you don’t even know who’s developing this game.
I agree. Despite this being a beta, the overall feel of the game is unsettling for me. I feel as though it is trying too hard to be a “Command and Conquer” clone and not utilizing enough of what made the first Halo Wars great.
Very disappointed. I hope they make some MAJOR changes from now to release.

No, It’s being developed by Creative Assembly… You know, the Total War games… I think it’s safe to say they have RTS experience also
what feel missing is where is Dr. Ellen Anders in the game…
Halo war 2 is in beta so nothing going to play smooth or have some hiccup along the way.
still getting use too the button layout an how everything works!

You’re a life saver. Was trying to figure it out, thanks.
