Don't forget to send in bug reports for HaaH WaaW 2
Anybody try out DM to see if it's better than dominion yet?
343 aren't the devs
It's meh. I just don't really like the current commanders.
Jun's armor always looked like shit. Scout was the worst helmet in Reach, bar none.
UNSC is just straight up more powerful than Atrocious. Pre-made teams walk all over me and most of my teammates are shit.
The fucking Pelican support needs to get a nerf
Locus is probably the best armor
It's fun enough. This go-around it's more or less about controlling the power generators and minibases on the map.
While the minibases aren't impressive defensively, they let you spam units better.
>Worse than CQC and that ghastly Reach Security
Why I oughtta...
Nothing is better than Dominion, but I bet Deathmatch is better than Domination.
I thought security was okay in Reach

It's trash like the rest of the game.
Johnny pls
how can we make halo good again
it's fucked forever now
Lock up everyone at 343 and anyone that's ever supported them.
Add social playlists.
Alright how does it look? Does /hg/ agree with this list?
I can't edit it right now so feel free to add/remove helmets yourselves.
...
>strider
>decimator
>venator
>nightfall
I disagree with Athalon, Buccaneer and Venator
I think Reaper, War Master, and Atlas should be added
>nightfall helmet
Get the fuck out of here
I think Athlon, Strider, Marauder, and Void Dancer look a little odd.
Close enough though.
>Including Nightfall but not Operator
He needs to revise this shit
fixed it, too many helmets, you should make a strawpoll or something. Include only like 20 or so.
>leaving nightfall
>No Rogue
>No strider
>No Void dancer
>Leaving Nightfall
>Leaving Venator
>Leaving Decimator
>Leaving Orbital
wrong opinion
>not Operator
Second row on the right.
Last thread i said i would pick the helmets i personally like. Make an edit like this guy and i'll make a final version with the general consensus.
>No GUNGNIR
Reeee
After I posted I realized that I'm retarded and Operator was there. Operator is good.
Nightfall needs to go, as does Venator.
>Venator
>Not liking Dead Space armor
Gungnir is a great helmet.
And a great relic
argus is alright
...
...
>No achilles
Looks like pilot stuff.
>reach challenges reset progress every time you quit
Well shit looks like I'm making some hella cR today
You play on bone or 360?
...
Oh hey guys, so why does everyone hate Halo Wars 2 then? Remember its still a beta and doesn't come out for 8 months
Can't. I have almost all of the heart pieces, and I gotta trigger Johnny by having a strong Wolf Link.
Also, did they ever fix the framerate?
Framerate is still pretty bad, it's certainly better, but it's about as comfortable as back on 360.
So still bad but playable.
This guy's points are pretty spot-on:
halowaypoint.com
Hopefully they'll get their shit together, they still have enough time to fix this game.
I like it.
Because they're hardly going to change actual gameplay before release and it feels clunky and worse in every way to play than the original. I don't care if there are more units when I'm literally having more trouble with unresponsive controls/units than the other team.
They didn't fix OP gauss hogs either.
Maybe wait for the Win10 beta and see how it feels? Controls-wise it feels fine to me, only things is RB for local units has to be held for about 1 second.
Could also do with further zoom out and being able to see where my ally is looking on the mini map I guess
>Mfw seeing five enemy Vultures for the first time
After my army got wiped I spammed out about 8 wolverines. Eventually won.
I've barely touched Altirox, does he even get Scarabs? Never seen someone make one.
Nah
A further zoon would be nice, I hate how long it takes to move the camera across the field
Okay. So the game doesn't have Uber units that can literally A-move to your base to fuck you up.
I see that as a good thing.
Is HW2 same studio as HW1?
no
It's done by the guys that made Total War
343 is making it.
No, Ensemble Studios is dead. HW was the last game they made.
RIP.
Creative Assembly (of Total War fame) is behind HW2. Expect lots of DLC.
that's a shame
t. Alberto Barbosa
This is one of the shittiest memes ive ever seen.
Blotch out that horrible lumpy excuse for EVA and unblotch Buccaneer to be more accurate.
He has wraiths, and a group of about 8 will do as much damage as a scarab could ever hope to
I JUST WON A GAME 1V2 HOLY FUCK THAT WAS AMAZING! I bet my opponents are super salty.
Did 343I ever say why they originally wanted to get rid of the SPNKR rocket launcher?
It was because it was called "spanker", wasnt it?
Uh... can you halo wars people make your own general?
Out of everything, I'd certainly say that the game feels fair
It wasn't theirs.
>Leaving in Decimator, Buccaneer and Mark V Alpha
>Not including Deadeye
343 wanted to distance themselves from Bungie but realized their rocket design sucked
Total War DLC is from SEGA being SEGA
At most for this expect map packs unless they do something like REQs but cosmetic only
You can't outdo perfection
Like the perfection of killing Halo with reach?
It's hard to blame 343 when Microsoft handed them a dead series to work with.
343 will damn well try though.
It wasn't dead tho. It was crippled.
343I shot it dead and then raped the corpse. Multiple times.
My teammate dropped out mid game after he lost his only base. By the time that happened I had three mini bases, two home bases, fully upgraded air and ground troops and a fully upgraded spartan. At this point I was going around the map destroying enemy bases and before I knew it, the game was over.
Yeah, they did a good job with unit balancing
So at what point do you expand from 60 units to 80? Does it have something to do with the number of bases captured?
I think its an upgrade you can buy from the armory
Upgrade from the armory
you should buy it quickly, you run out of units really fast
I love Arbiter, but he doesn't stand a chance. One universe simply out classes the other in sheer strength.
But Arby is wearing a mask and holding A GUN
Going by the novels top tier elites are 100 tonners.
Didn't Raam die like a bitch, though?
>solos multiple spartans
>unites brute and elites under one banner
>restoring covenant
How can the Arbiter even compete???
Have we seen how Arby is as a political leader?
If you count taking 40 or so fully charged torque bow shots to the head then yeah
>lets women into ranks
>can't even defend home world with UNSC assistance
Elites are slave to big brute cock.
Do you think they'll go the full mile and show actual interspecies relationships? Sexy-times not included.
yes, im sure Locker will hook up with Kelly or Linda
Oh, you.
Arbiter schtooping Kelly when?
That's good to know
You can also increase unit build speed, so make sure to remember
It doesn't matter.
General Raam is literally a wall of death. He could take multiple energy sword stabs to the chest, then lift up Arby with one hand and crush his skull.
That's assuming Arby can even get close enough before the kryll tear hire to nothing but a skeleton.
But user, Locke only thinks about his job
>He could take multiple energy sword stabs to the chest
he can?
Should I tell her?
Dont
