/hg/ - Halo General

First for brute tech best tech

Domination was a really poor choice for the only gamemode.

People are just retarded or cant do anything other than turtle and I end up capturing the middle point and the point by their bases before they can get to it.

>>145425853
Yeah, they should've stuck with standard and maybe had other betas scattered until release to work out the other modes.

>>145425853

Aren't there two generals for RTS?

The only good character on Osiris

>>145428905
Tanaka and Locke are redeemable, but it'd take writers that 343 doesn't have.
Vale is fucked, though. Her origin story is that she's a mary sue with bright red hair and can take forerunner cyborgs in a fistfight with no combat training and everyone likes her and she the best and she a genius who deciphered a language when she was 12 that AIs couldn't even manage.

>>145428905
I honestly thought it was called Fire Team Isis

>>145428592

It's really stretching the term RTS by calling Total war or 4x RTS's, they're there own thing. Halo wars 2 is now the closest thing to pure RTS coming up now.

>>145429267
No, that's the development studio.

>>145429286
CE and H2 were the best

>>145429047
But tanaka is colony born she could turn coat at any time

>>145429284
There's no sc2 general? Or aoe?

>>145429419
She also sold her soul to the UNSC. Vale is the kind to turn traitor, because she's a bug-fucker. But if she did, 343 would say that she's in the right and make everyone fall under her leadership skills that she doesn't have.

>>145429382
CE has the best haircut of the lot

>>145429382
All have their perks, except for 5

>>145429382
H3 was the pinnacle until they gave her weird eyes and a nasty toothgap in 4

She honestly looks like an entirely different person in between 3 and 4. At least the trilogy kept the same general facial structure and body type.

2A cutscene cortana was also good, but in-game had a fat chin

>>145429520

>>145429564
Tbh I was expecting Vale to be an ONI spy

How convenient that there happened to be a member who spoke Sangheili and was a total Mary Sue who became a Spartan at 20 years old

If that was all a fake backstory and they stuck with the original story of framing chief as a criminal, when Locke and the gang eventually join up with chief she would've turned on them all and fucked everything up

>>145431316
Who'd take his spot?
Not sure why he won't kick all those people with zero games.

How do I stop getting killed from outside my FOV?

It's coming down to me having almost every single death come from behind or to my side just outside of where I'm able to see and I can't react quick enough because they already have the first shot off and my shields will be pretty much gone before I can get off enough good shots on the guy who got the drop on me

The fact that the radar is basically useless in this game doesn't help me at all

>>145432363

>>145432624

>>145432602
Just give it to Sigmund. Kai's number one man, Tangee, doesn't play anymore, and Shen is off playing Overwatch.

>>145432751

I think I'd prefer sigmund.

>>145432728
That would be my first response but sprinting halts my shield recharge and boosting really only shuffles me a couple feet in whatever direction and that wont help me if its a wide open map

>>145432751
Yes give it to Sigmund. Makes sense that the guy who always hosts parties, almost single-handedly keeps the thread alive by bumping at night, and has some common sense in regards to Pizza, gets to be leader.

The MOMENT you see a red bip come from the side of your screen and the enemy is no where in your FOV imminently sprint/jump/boost towards the nearest cover and preferably towards the nearest teammate. It's harder for them to get head shots at a vertical moving target so a quick jump/boost then sprint to cover to throw them off can be handy depending on the situation.

If there's no good cover around to recharge shields and your somehow still not dead, keep sprinting towards your teammates. The guy shooting you will hesitate in continuing chasing you and ideally your teammates will hopefully not be retarded enough to shoot back, at the very least they'll serve as a distraction.

>>145433746
This is good advice too. Try sticking to the outside rim of the map so you don't get caught off guard as easily. You should really only be going in the middle for power weapons or if the objective/situation your currently in calls for it.

Normal Riptide is pretty decent imo

Modified R.I.P.tide in Infection fucking sucks though, too many easy camping spots

>>145435680
Riptide's one of the few good maps of 5.

>>145435757
Every riptide game I've ever played was a whole ten minutes of grenade spam and getting penetrated from behind because the map is fucking archaic and the radar doesn't tell you anything until they are sprinting into butt fucking range

>>145435680
Riptide is pretty fucking bad, the only map I genuinely like is Stasis

>>145435320

Spartan charging is an excellent way to have fun

>>145436837
it's always fun because it launches the enemy forward and launches you back at the same time giving the enemy no chance to punch back

>>145437109
>it's always fun because it launches the enemy forward and launches you back at the same time giving the enemy no chance to punch back
This is false. If they melee the second they're hit, they teleport to you. And the wind down from charging is enough time for them to punch twice.

>>145437514
They can melee faster than that, and the wind down makes you a sitting duck while they can still boost. They also know exactly where you are now and have enough time to get a perfect before you can fire again.

Does anyone know if you get more Gold REQ packs from playing the HW2 Beta?

Other than the 3 for playing 5 matches?

What about say 10 and you get a rank? Anyone play that much yet?

You don't even have to be a resource bitch the entire time, just build up two or so bases, stockpile while he scouts and pokes, upgrade your shit, pump out an army and start grabbing points and fucking bases.

I know Beta is Beta and they're testing for a reason but honestly it feels like an early alpha release. I haven't bothered playing Covenant yet because the base mechanics of the game are so bad. I will be willing to give it a second shot if a Windows 10 beta happens but holy shit they have a lot of work to do.

This is something I too am sad about. Wish they could let you chill out and test out fun units & strats against Easy CPU's

The HW1 tutorial was a good amount of fun, and not having something like that to check out is saddening. I remember the HW1 demo having one, dunno why the beta lacks it.

Eh, it's a beta. Gets a pass from me for now but we'll see.

This is so weird because something like that happened in the one game I played. The guy on my team clearly had no idea how to play RTS's and I was able to get by using some prior SC2 knowledge. Luckily for us, one guy on the other team completely had a seizure and stopped playing. We still won and my teammate messaged me thanking me for the win lel

>Commander Point system is really wonky and half the abilities don't work when you need them too
In a genre where I feel so uncomfortable leaving the battle screen the last thing I want to do is ponder over an opaque menu for some potentially game-changing buffs. 100% agree here.

>the whole "rock paper scissors" balancing is broke to hell when you can just rush with infantry and like 3 tanks
I too noticed this. It's far too easy to just focus entirely on base infantry upgrades, grab three outposts, and churn them out 3-at-a-time.

>>145443615
I just dislike Domination as a whole, I want just good ol' RTS PvP. Let me genocide my enemies with a heavy vehicle army.

Small nitpick but it's upsetting the game is going with the red vs blue colour scheme, so no default gween team and purple covvies

>>145444335
Green and purple is more aesthetically pleasing than red and blue, desu

>>145444392
thanks doc

>>145444335
There'll probably be an option. Shame what happened to Invasion, though.

>>145444392
All memes aside it was nice in HW1 to have factions that weren't default Blue and Red like so many other games.

>>145444487
>>145444651
It's not even a meme, I genuinely think that green and purple looks nice. Especially purple with a green accent.

>>145444724
I'd prefer it if the colors were more muted. I get that they're bright because of the high camera angle, but it'd "feel" better if they matched the games a bit more.
Campaign will probably be that, with dark-olive UNSC vs navy blue covenant.

>>145444790
It certainly doesn't detract from my enjoyment, but it's definitely a fashion disaster for the UNSC

>>145444950
I like the idea of a coordinated color for an army. The Corp vehicles almost attain this, but they picked the worst shade of yellow, and they're not team colored.
If vehicles changed color in Warzone based on who was piloting them, that'd solve the issue of the callsigns not showing up.

I knew 343 was going to shove some of their shit into the game. Red team is wearing MkIV Mjolnir which doesn't even have any shields, but somehow has Gen 2 thrusters?

>>145449340
It's for gameplay so I'm not really butthurt about it. In HW1 they had shields purely to stand out during battles. I'd only be pissed if they somehow had Mantis' and other modern UNSC tech despite being lost in space for 30 years.

>>145450124
I never played the first game, but aren't some units new? Specifically the Jackrabbit.

>>145450274
There's a bunch of new units for the UNSC, but I'd imagine since they got a professor and engineers they could go full Ork and make some shit from scavenging and paint it red.

Oh shit I just noticed this.

It means that people don't just vote for their favorite Map every single time and then you end up never playing on half of them because they never get chosen

Did they change the voice of Commander Cutter in HW2? When I saw the trailer I thought it was a new character and was a bit pissed they won't let us continue the story of Spirit of Fire, but it seems not.

I'm pretty hyped to play the campaign, but from reading this thread they have a lot of fixing to do for the multiplayer.
BTW how's HW on xbox one like? cause Reach played like shit

Yeah from some pre-release thing for Halo 4 IIRC, but it's been 4 years.
That image is from one of the threads way back then, around Halo 4's release. A piece of history.

Still, I'd like to know if Halo Wars 2 for Xbone and Windows 10 means older Windows get shafted.

>>145460748
You have to ask why they're pushing Windows 10 this hard, to the point that they make less profit on games etc.

>>145432624

Don't run forward too aggressively as there are likely to be players trying to flank you at any given moment unless you have a good team.

Don't rely on your radar too much and use your peripheral vision when looking around.

Map knowledge is also key, from experience you can scan areas where enemies will most likely pop up from.
