Space Battles in Halo Wars 2

Games Halo Wars Series
1

I mean come on, wouldn’t that be awesome :smiley: ?!

2

I would say yes but your gonna be limited to the units you can use due to balancing and just the fact that we haven’t really been introduced to a lot of spacecraft in halo

3

I think battling in space would be awesome.

4

It would be awesome. I’m not sure I’ve seen an RTS game that has a dedicated space battle system, so I’m not sure how it would look with regard to inclusion with the land units. But I’d be up for it.

5

Maybe something like how Civ:BE does satellites. That could be pretty neat.

6

That’d be pretty cool

7

Yes, after I played the first Halo Wars I said to myself that when they make Halo Wars 2 they must have space battles.

8

It would be very interesting

Homeworld series, Sins of a Solar Empire, Star Wars: Empire at War, numerous mods for Civ 4 & 5…

…those are just the ones I own.

I think a Star Wars: Empire at War style space battles would be really awesome.

  • Longsword,

  • Prowler,

  • UNSC Corvette

  • UNSC frigate

  • UNSC heavy frigate

  • UNSC cruiser

  • UNSC heavy cruisers
    BONUS unit = UNSC infinity

Yes This is a great idea! Halo Wars 2 Needs Space Battles and these units you came up with would be a great idea but considering this is halo wars 2 and not halo 4 instead of UNSC infinity maybe put UNSC Spirit of Fire.

13

this is definitely necessary.

14

I agree.

15

You have a point MrJaycoooo, the UNSC infinity shouldn’t existe yet

Any time I think about what I’d like from Halo Wars 2, I always end up with an Empire at War clone. I have no idea why. I didn’t even play it a ton.

Maybe it’s the simplest way to make a sci-fi RTS to work, and Wars requires simplicity to work.

17

I think this is a great idea honestly.

18

If it was done right, it could be pretty cool

19

Would no doubt be cool, if done right.

How would you work out resource management though? The first one basically uses orbital/planetary drops to build bases and gain resources. If they use the colony ships again like Spirit of Fire, then you’re generally topped up on resources and research.

The only limiting factor you could maybe impose is one of map space - you’re limited to a set number of spacecraft you can deploy, and deployment times will naturally be staggered.

Not pooping on the idea, but really needs to have some thought put into it. Another question is, how many planes (as in, planes of movement) would you use? If strictly on console, that adds another layer of complexity to the control scheme, having to move up and down levels of “elevation”

20

They could be harvesting ressources from asteroids field (pretty much like Star Wars Empire at war).
I don’t think we would be playing On land and In Space at the same time. I can imagine two game modes, one with spaceships, and one with land troops :slight_smile:
