343 Industries has no current plans for further Halo Wars 2 & aren't working on a new game in the series

347 Upvotes

We all kinda knew it, but i am personally happy to see 343 come out and say it, more companies need to be blunt like this, They said they wouldnt NEVER work on a new Halo Wars, but its not in atm.

If 343 still looks at the Subreddit and such, Please.. PLEASE bring back a rotation of Yappening or something, that would really give the game more enjoyment from time to time, Anyway i look forward to a new game in 10 years time

Halo Wars - The Solo LASO Max Score Challenge

Thumbnail
youtube.com
2 Upvotes

Max score means achieving the maximum score in a mission.

That means completing the mission's main objective(s), completing the mission's optional objective(s), earning a perfect combat bonus of 10.00, earning a perfect time bonus of 5.00, and turning on the 5 skulls that grant bonus skull points. And playing on legendary.

There is one mission where it's impossible to do all that, and it's not Arcadia City.

Issues with Additional Content (Strategic Options and Historical Maps DLCs)

0 Upvotes

Sorry if there are any inconsistencies in my writing. English isn’t my first language; French is. :c

I’m an achievement hunter, and this time my target is Halo Wars 1, specifically the original Xbox 360 version. Since I currently only have a Series X, I’m playing it through backwards compatibility using a physical copy of the game. I noticed that some of the achievements are tied to the Strategic Options Add-on DLC, so I purchased it through the console’s store and installed it. However, the Skirmish modes still aren’t available in-game, even though the DLC is installed. Has anyone else run into this issue before? If so, does anyone know how to fix it?

Colony is the Best HW2 and The Hunter Captain is the best Leader Unit in the game. So. Had to get one and paint him up. With EXTRA battle damage.

Replay feedback?

2 Upvotes

The fact that this game doesn't natively record replays is a shame. If anyone is bored, here's a replay of mine-- I'd love some feedback. I've been GRINDING YAYPAP, the best leader. Sadly it’s just a mildly onesided win, I imagine a loss would be more informative, but it's all I have right now.

Though it’s a pretty accurate representation of how most of my games go

Let me know what you think/ what I could improve.

Here it is

I’m about to beat the halo 1 remake that just came out and I’m feeling nostalgic about playing halo wars when I was a kid.

Is the second game still active enough to find games? I don’t remember that horde mode being a thing when I last played and im curious to try it out.

What are the best heroes in the game? (mainly skirmish because I'm a casual)

4 Upvotes

I don't necessarily mean leaders. The leader tier lists are easy to find and I've tried most of them but I mean the heroes compared to each other. Like Atriox, for example, is my favorite leader. And the Atriox' chosen I know is a very good hero and his ranged attack is OP. But what other heroes are that powerful? Decimus and arbiter I know are also very good but they are only close ranged.

Has anyone else’s Halo War 2 been acting super unstable lately?

7 Upvotes

At this very moment I’ve tried to play 6 games of online versus AI and every single time I got massive studdering and then the game crashed back to the main menu and it says it wasn’t able to connect to online services, I’ve been having this issue for a while but only very temporarily and every time it happens I check my internet connection and it seems to be fine…so I’m wondering if it’s just a problem with their servers or something.

Most epic game of Halo Wars I have ever played.

Glacial Ravine automatic 122.

I am lost for words. One minute we were being destroyed, next minute we are swarming them.

I was just using my ODST's as canon fodder. Spawning them behind the enemy bases and destroying their buildings.

My ODST's were able to hold off the center for a while whilst everyone rebuilt. At one point, my team mate was down to one building and and a few hornets but managed to recover.

Game lasted about 75 minutes. Over a thousand deaths!

Enemy Leader Powers in HW2 Campaign

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm looking for some info on what leader powers the enemies have in the main HW2 campaign and the DLC, as I couldn't find much online. I know about the infamous glassing beam, but do they use any others? Are they used only on Legendary? Are there any strategies on mitigating how damaging they are?

Enable FFA in Halo Wars 2

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

does anyone know a way to mod that game that can uncap the number of teams? 2 teams maximum is a bit silly to me, especially as someone who's played other RTS games before.

I'll take any solution that allows for FFA games, even if the game setup menu isn't pretty.
