What would you guys think of subfactions, similar to command and conquer generals or command and conquer 3. For those who haven’t played those games subfactions took the base faction with a much different twist, in many ways acting like leaders with unique buildings and units that were not merely upgraded variants of a base unit.
Since halo 5 Warzone added variants to vehicles on a similar premise (ONI, Corp, Urban), what would you guys feel about adding that to Halo Wars? It could even be an massively improved and more advanced leader system.
Here are some potential examples:
UNSC Subfactions
- ONI: Focus on advanced technology, mixing human tech with forerunner and covenant designs - Colonial Guard: Has technologically weak units, but much cheaper than base UNSC designsWhat are your ideas for potential factions?
I don’t really have any ideas aside from ONI, liek you suggested. But I do like the idea of subfactions.

Yeah, it would be a good opertunity to expand on the lore.
Overall more stuff is always great but I would much rather a very strong core that does a few things (2 factions with small variants) then have a team unfocused and spread thin.
That said I believe in CA and would love to see them do something like this idea.
As for factions I would like to see
Flood:
Lots of cheap low hp units as well as infection forms that can infect low level infantry units (upgraded to be able to infect stronger units and vehicles).
Rebels/heritics:
In the lore covenant defects work with the interventionists however if it’s the same time period as the last one probably limited to covenant weapons and vehicles as there were few instances that early of any greater collaboration other than Jackles trading with them.
Faster but softer vehicles than the main unsc/covenant variants
Hit and run oriented troops
Strong early game
Sabotage vehicles/bases
Depending on time period heritics units as well
I think a hybrid faction like this could be interesting more variability but overall weaker/lower tech
Yeah that would be pretty cool
what if we had a new faction?
i just hope that the unsc gets snipers instead of flame troopers that was always imbalanced in my opinion fully upgraded jackels could take on 2 fully upgraded flame troopers unless properly microed but in a intense fight where you are needed in 5 areas on the map and you need to micro 5 fights at once it can get really hard to keep that micro up, however jakels are place and forget units.
Yeah I think that’d be a great.
like,brutes only for a faction not like the old halo wars

you want to bring in a brand new faction for a spin off game?
yeah new faction mix it up spice it up too.

the halo universe already has plenty of factions particularly post war its lore doesn’t need to get muddied up with another one just to add it into a spin off game
well,kind of board of these factions.But you are right…Almost. I would like to see brutes or the swords of…I forgot the name.
