Yeah but "tomorrow" is in a few hours and it makes sense for the OP to be updated that way given how long the thread will last

I hope Atriox is in Halo 6

Nice to see both of you on point.

Would it be fair to call this a "fixed" longest?

I like the way H2 plays more than CE (mini nukes were a problem on small maps) but the conveyer belts I feel ruin what would have otherwise been the perfect 2 v 2 halo map.

>Post Your Face When standard edition poorfags STILL can't play Halo Wars 2

...

I really don't have any clips with any skillful gameplay involved but maybe you can put these in a blooper reel or something

>Post YFW people actually payed $20 extra to play a mediocre console RTS 4 days early

>mediocre
Forgefags need to leave IMMEDIATLY.

>he fell for the Gears "Ultinate" Edition ploy
>he fell for the Forza Horizon 3 "Ultimate" Edition ploy
>He fell for the Haah Waaw 2 "Ultimate" Edition ploy

That's together $60 extra.
That's the price of a game.

Halo Wars 2 Spartan Company's?

>that pic
10/10

>he's so poor he doesn't wipe his ass with 60-dolla bills

Hey there guys.
What are ya playin?
Ooooooh wow, is that Halo WARS 2???

Damn, guys. Looks like a pretty balanced game!

Wouldn't it be a shame...
If somebody...
Broke it?

>Let'Volir in the Campaign: Cute lil puppy doggy
>Let'Volir in MP: Master of the Oblivion gates

>shipmaster
>powerful
Annoying, if anything

You could argue that Anders is just as, if not more, broken

>has the ability to teleport half your army across the map so he can raep the remaining forces
>can teleport invisible scarabs behind your base and then have them go back to his
>not powerful

Scarabs are a waste desu
Suck up too much pop

I'll be honest guys I think we got cheated on those Blur cutscenes

But you can have three

That scene gave me a seizure

I am the weakest leader in the game

Ask me Anything

I think scarabs are better at being a frontline tank while condors are the kill everything unit that you want to protect
>coordinating with shitmaster to teleport cloaked condors for base buttsecks

Damn Cutter is that you? You put on some weight in cryo.

Where did you put your unique units?

...

...

Cutter's leader abilities are pretty strong, but he has no general strategy like Anders and her Sentinels

Just use ODSTs to replenish forces and you should be fine most matches

We got 27 minutes. You know how much BLUR charges per minute? 1 million

3 forms of unit invincibility and a base murdering ion cannon sound useful to me, what's so bad about Anthrax? Also how good is Decimus? Melee heroes feel so useless.

Wait what?
Is that him?

Explain.

Do they charge an extra million to have some decent fucking scene lighting?

I'd have traded 5 minutes of Sentinels crashing into the Enduring Conviction for 10 seconds of actually being able to see what Jerome was doing. Or more Alicefu.

No.

You fuckers will complain about literally anything huh?

Is it ever explained how Douglas got his armor repaired and a new helmet? The Spirit of Fire wasn't built/fitted for Mjolnir repair/manufacturing. And why do SII's wearing MK IV somehow have thrusters?

Fuck off, that whole cutscene was pure perfection. Also calm down with the spoilers, remember we have newfriends tonight.

Dying Breath is only good for countering Carpet Bombs and Mac Blast, stuff like that

The heal one is meh, it just requires too many points to heal well when you could just use Engineers.

Unbreakable is just an "I want to make sure the enemy base is destroyed" button

Based Isabel The Cute

Logistics AI logistics'd them everything they needed

You wouldn't want to spoil someone's experience now, would you?

Didn't the SII's have thrusters in that Fall of Reach mini-series? I assumed after Halo 5 343 retconned them into always existing.

Long time RTS fan here, ive really been pining for a new RTS game, is halo wars 2 worth getting? is it like a C&C game?

It's pretty solid, stay away from Blitz mode though its P2W.

The UNSC place they found Isabel had things like spare parts.

It did look surprisingly solid from what Ive seen, thanks man, ill give it a look

Since when do research outposts carry MK IV Mjolnir?

Since ODST troops got merged into the S-4 program

Since when do research outposts not carry power armor? Surely you'd be able to find some upgrades there.

Thread theme

youtu.be/5qH1pBTqvc4

Needs longer hair desu

There is no good explanation.
And there shouldn't be. It's a video game.

[spoiler dumb frogposter______________________________________[/spoiler]

I have an issue with this one thing in both Halo and Metroid lol, in Halo why does every UNSC, Covenant, and Forerunner facility have terminals where you can insert AI Data Chips? in Metroid why do the GF, Space Pirates, and Chozo all have small tunnel like openings made specifically for a ball to go through. It's like these idiots are asking to be infiltrated by Samus Aran and the Master Chief, lol.

It's almost like it's a video game and you're treating it like it's real life.

For the record, I don't mean to be rude. I just think that not everything needs an explanation. Basically what says

>Watching the twitch xbox Halo Wars 2 thing
>Holding a competion between some streamers
>The other side loss cause the game bugged out and one of them couldn't play anything with 1200 energy
>This is on top of multiple tech issues

I worry about this launch.

I know, its's funny though when you think about it.

>that scan entry in metroid Prime where the pirates tried making their own morph ball technology

Prime had some pretty funny entries

The Forerunners had their tampering with things. Even the ancient humans had technology based off the Forerunners though there were more Precursor influence. Covenant technology just happens to be their spin on Forerunners too. The Librarian liked the humans so she definitely helped them in her own ways such as letting some of the tech be human usable.

The Chozo could do shit like Morph ball & speedbooster without their suits. This ain't unique, some of Zebus' inhabitants can do the same or similar. They'd naturally have holes for themselves. The Feds would have things like ventilation ducts they'd expect no one to fit inside & navigate well. IRL ducts aren't as easy to navigate as movie & video game ones. The pirates? Some of their tech is stolen from Chozo shit & as Zero Mission shown, they themselves can crawl through those holes. Besides, they're crazy fuckers.

>tfw you will never see what if they replaced Palmer with Samus
>tfw just Palmer being gone is an improvement
>tfw no Spartan has an ass that even compares to Samus

>Just got HW2
>Play a few matches online
>every team is using multiple Scarabs and Condors.
>can't win a match without doing the same thing

Spam Wolverines and warthogs for Condors.

Thanks man

There's lots of bugs with the game. The most prominent one I encounter is when an ally sends me resources.

>an ally has send you supplies!
>message says I sent them to myself

But Kelly and Linda's asses do compare with Samus's

>tfw you will never have a HaloxMetroid game where Samus and Master Chief go on Galactic Adventures together

It hurts man :'(

>for condors
>scarab still fucking about

half assed response user

MASS
INFANTRY

Cyclops' and Vultures for Scarabs with a few tanks.

Its a video game with lore.

>warthogs for Condors.
Why would that work?

My man!

Guass-hogs have high rate of fire and you can shit them out really fast.

If you're UNSC, try spamming marines.
If you're Banished, upgraded Banshees are perfect for the job.

and get shit on you only get two upgrades for the vehicles

Why the fuck did they make Blitz so fucking P2W? It's a great mode without the stupid level-up card bullshit.

>But Kelly and Linda's asses do compare with Samus's
I demand images.

Hence why you bring loads of wolverines to bombard the Condor from range while the hogs distract it.

A better question would why didn't they add a search function for firefight, or at least an option to add AI when playing alone.

CONSOLE KEKS UNEQUIVOCALLY AND ETERNALLY BLOWN THE EVER LIVING FUCK OUT.jpg

Linda

...

Why can't we just be happy Windows 10 bros?

Kelly

muh
dick

Jesus. Why didn't I realize this sooner?

I'm the guy that posted the Kelly and Linda images, why are Super Human bodies so perfect? Samus, Kelly, and Linda make muh dick so hard.

Reminder that the Spartan IIs were selected from children with highly desirable genetics. Truly they choose the right genes. They are humanity's future after all.

>Reminder that the Spartan IIs were selected from children with highly desirable genetics. Truly they choose the right genes. They are humanity's future after all.

I hope people out there make more art of her.
L-lewd is okay too

Pretty much why I made my Spartan female in MP. Just imagine a whole squad of female Spartans going ass first into a fight. There would be no fight, only surrender to dem asses.

I came across a Source filmmaker animation of a rather bored looking Linda getting rammed in the ass.

Just to let you know that that's a thing that's out there.

I can't remember where I found it though.
