Suggestions

Hi. I just joined the game recently and been loving it so far. The community is great, the forums are amazing, giving good feedback and enough information for the players in order to get through in the game. I’ve playing these days and thinking about how can this game get even better, and would like to share my suggestions here.

This is not a topic to complain about the game. I love the game the way it is and I’m very satisfited with the experience I’m having on it. My objective here it’s just to share some ideas and discuss with you guys about how can them be useful to improve the game experience.

Here are my suggestions, based in my empiric view of the game:

  • Add new mapsThe game has some great maps but I think there could be more, just to make the playing experience even better and interesting. The current maps are nice and new ones could be based in new strategies and even ideas coming from the current players.

  • Enable crossplatform playSince the PC community is decreasing, as we read in reddit and in the fórum, the crossplatform play would enable both players to get together and make the playerbase bigger and singular.

  • Balancing the leadersThis is a suggestion commonly known by most of the people here since we know that the leaders are unbalanced in some aspects, but i just wanted to mention it since it’s a very importante point to improve the game.

  • Create a spectator modeIn my opinion, this game has great potential for eSports and for competitive play. The way it was made, the leaders and all the environments. Some ajusts here and there would make it perfect for this, and adding a spectator mode would, at first, make the creation of championships possible.

  • Create little championships among the current communityTo start this ‘eSports feeling’ in the Halo Wars 2 community, I know, the playerbase isn’t enough, but anything would be welcome. Little championships such as the HCS in the Halo 5 would be nice. Doesn’t need to be something very big like ESL, but just something to enhance the game for the ones that love it.

  • Think and develop ways to increase the playerbaseOne of the biggest problems of the game right now is the low playerbase. In my honest opinion, I see this game as a ‘hidden gem’. People who don’t know it as a RTS are missing the great contente it has. So, thinking in ways to increase the playerbase and attract new players would make the game better and open doors for things like championships, new ideas and more feedback from the community.

Let’s discuss about it. These are just ideas. And if you have yours, share with us and we can talk about it here.

I think most of these are well known, especially the balancing leaders suggestion. The only one I can’t get behind is cross platform. Releasing the game on Steam would be more fair.

I agree that a Steam release would be far better, the extra revenue gained could justify more development in HW2 or even HW3. If there was a Steam release I expect them to force Windows Store owners to buy again which I think would be a horrible move. Even if Windows Store owners could play with Steam owners they will still be stuck with an inferior version.

More maps are definitely needed, it’s not like they’re extremely complicated to make. I think releasing 1 free with each leader would have been very fair.
