What do you want in Halo Wars 2?

So with the announcement of Halo Wars 2, the question of “What do you want to see” comes into play. So to fix this, I have left this forum here for anyone to leave a reply and or suggestion as to what they would like to see in this brand new RTS game.

My Suggestions:
Personally I believe that 343 should include multiple new vehicles; personally, I feel as if the vehicle selection in Halo Wars was just the base layer. Maybe add in more arial vehicles like the falcon and other modifications such as the rocket hog or maybe even replace the scout hog with the mongoose?

Thats just me, but I want to hear from you halo gamers! Leave it all in the replies!

i’ll be happy so long as it has the same feel and atmosphere as the original and they don’t try to go 100% hardcore competitive

i want

Space battles!!! and the flood

I want a good story, i actually enjoyed the halo wars story and the cut scenes were really well done. Beyond that i just want there to be proper balance between things.

I loved halo wars. I heard originally they were going to do a covenant campaign and a UNSC campaign but it was cut due to time. I’m not sure if that is true but that is what I have heard, I would really love to see that in the new game. Also I would like to see more unit variety and more factions.

The storyline for Halo Wars is why we still play Halo Wars! The cut-scenes make blizzard entertainment shiver in their boots. With a story so immersive, we actually get the chance to like our main characters. I just completed the Halo 5 campaign and I just don’t feel attached to team Osiris at all. I feel as if we didn’t get enough time with them or enough back story. A mean Sgt. Forge sacrificed everything(when Halo makes you cry you know it’s damn good). The Original Halo Wars story line is so well written that I highly recommend it to anyone willing to listen.
As long as they keep the storyline as the priority I’ll be happy!!!

The only thing that I’m afraid will happen will be that they try to make their game aimed toward the “professional players” which in turn will make the game much worse for the fans.

I want the Blur cutscenes and maybe Forerunner faction

It wouldn’t surprise me if 343 added a Forerunner faction into Halo Wars 2, but then if so will they continue with the story of the spirit of fire or just go from the Halo series involving master chief, or maybe both?

Just from that trailer showing the Spartans from the sport of fire I’m guessing it will still follow the sport of fire but it’s just a guess.

This is a brief response to what I would want out of Halo Wars 2. I loved the first game and I feel like the second iteration should have more playable characters. Make some troops unique to certain characters but not overpowered. I myself enjoyed 3v3 and 2v2 gameplay over 1v1. Maybe focus on more team play. Obviously focus on balance above all. Balance is key to any multiplayer game.

Playable Characters:

Human
Captain Cutter - focuses on ground troops and vehicles for supporting ground troops
Ellen Anders - More air vehicles / anti air vehicles

Forerunner/Precursor
Didact - Forerunner Species - Guardian / Sentinels / Forerunner soldiers
Gravemind (Flood species) - flood spores / ability to take over enemy ships/vehicles/troops/etc.

Covenant
Brutes - Brute (melee and ranged types) / Drones / Hunters
Sangheli - Engineers / Elites / Grunts / Jackels

Gamemodes:
King of the Hill (Hill spawns 10 min into game to give each team enough time to build up an army)
Deathmatch
Attack and Defend (maybe…not sure how it would play in an RTS)
Ranked Playlist - Ranks = 1-50

I want the same feel as the previous Halo Wars but just add a little more to it. I hope they keep the amazing storyline and add more leaders. It has so much potential.

I want flood with new flood types, A couple new vehicles for each faction, and ambient life in the background that can destroy your vehicles like the Blind Wolf and some other creatures.

I want BALANCE with variety. thats what they should strive for above all else. If the game is balanced so no one race has an inherent advantage over any other, things like depth and advanced tactics will work themselves out on their own.

I know that seems incredibly obvious, but there is always the trap when you try to make something really cool, at the expense of long term fun. I would rather have a short set of assets to utilize that are incredibly well balanced and lead to tight games than a huge library of cool -Yoink- that people quickly learn to exploit.

I want this.

Sorry but I do not know how to add a direct link.

definently replace the scout hog with the mongoose.
the warthog in general should be a moderate damage moderate health vehicle, not some scrawny tin foil car

I don’t want to lose any of the units we already had and. Would like to see some more factions. As much as I loved the game there really wasn’t enough variety.

flood as aplayable faction. and a full area to build on, not just a base pad

i want quantity over quality

for example : i’d rather have worse graphics in exchange for more vehicle variety and better pathfinding

a ranked mode! mcc needed this terribly, and so does this
