/hg/ - Halo General

Anybody try out DM to see if it's better than dominion yet?

>>145792864
343 aren't the devs

>>145792925
It's meh. I just don't really like the current commanders.

>>145793056
Jun's armor always looked like shit. Scout was the worst helmet in Reach, bar none.

>>145792925
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

>>145792925
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.

>>145793191
>Worse than CQC and that ghastly Reach Security
Why I oughtta...

>>145792925
Nothing is better than Dominion, but I bet Deathmatch is better than Domination.

>>145793671
I thought security was okay in Reach

Lock up everyone at 343 and anyone that's ever supported them.

>>145794585
Add social playlists.

I think Reaper, War Master, and Atlas should be added

Close enough though.

Second row on the right.

>>145795724
Last thread i said i would pick the helmets i personally like. Make an edit like this guy >>145795861 and i'll make a final version with the general consensus.

>>145795030
>No GUNGNIR

Reeee

>>145795861
After I posted I realized that I'm retarded and Operator was there. Operator is good.
Nightfall needs to go, as does Venator.

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

>>145797792
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?

>>145798326
Framerate is still pretty bad, it's certainly better, but it's about as comfortable as back on 360.
So still bad but playable.

>>145798326
This guy's points are pretty spot-on:
https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/38bd6e2ebbb14e5b9b359bb029588800/topics/make-hw2-feel-more-like-hw1-or-lose-fan-following/e2fbdfb9-42e6-44e7-9c36-f2bc4bd6199e/posts?page=1#post17

Hopefully they'll get their shit together, they still have enough time to fix this game.

>>145798313
I like it.

>>145798313
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.

>>145798679
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.

>>145799076
Nah

>>145799002
A further zoon would be nice, I hate how long it takes to move the camera across the field

>>145799076
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?

>>145799504
no

>>145799504
It's done by the guys that made Total War

>>145799504
343 is making it.

>>145799504
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.

Blotch out that horrible lumpy excuse for EVA and unblotch Buccaneer to be more accurate.

>>145799076
He has wraiths, and a group of about 8 will do as much damage as a scarab could ever hope to

>>145793234
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?

>>145800436
Out of everything, I'd certainly say that the game feels fair

>>145800543
It wasn't theirs.

>>145795861
>Leaving in Decimator, Buccaneer and Mark V Alpha
>Not including Deadeye

>>145800543
343 wanted to distance themselves from Bungie but realized their rocket design sucked

>>145799645
Total War DLC is from SEGA being SEGA

At most for this expect map packs unless they do something like REQs but cosmetic only

>>145800773
You can't outdo perfection

>>145801196
Like the perfection of killing Halo with reach?
It's hard to blame 343 when Microsoft handed them a dead series to work with.

>>145801196
343 will damn well try though.

>>145801328
It wasn't dead tho. It was crippled.

343I shot it dead and then raped the corpse. Multiple times.

>>145800637
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.

>>145801440
Yeah, they did a good job with unit balancing

>>145801615
So at what point do you expand from 60 units to 80? Does it have something to do with the number of bases captured?

>>145801912
I think its an upgrade you can buy from the armory

>>145801912
Upgrade from the armory
you should buy it quickly, you run out of units really fast

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.

They are not all silver eye melting lego levels

They're definitely better than the 343 maps, at least

Is there a way to activate a "go here and attack everything on the way" command?

That would help so fucking much.

I have no idea how to command troops when my army meets another army.

Halo 5 isn't actually trash. It's actually quite good.

You have to select the player for more details to see it, and when you go back to leader board it goes back to your name.
Makes it tedious to check if people are in same company and you played a full party which was only thing I ever used it for.

But both of those aren't completely true. In Halo 2 you are following the Prophet of Regret through a portal the Covenant intentionally opened to that Halo. In Halo 4 you were sent there by Mendicant Bias after that shit with the Ark went down. Probably. The terminals in Halo 3 hint at it, and I guess the novels about the forerunners also mention it a bit.

Halo: Eurobeat Warthog Racer when?

>>145818623
Typically I just let my units attack the enemies at random, and only select them to pick a specific enemy unit and press Y on it. I spend the rest of the battle dropping in shit and building new units to direct towards combat.
The bulk of my armies are marines though, and with the amount of minibases and full bases I can have it's very quick to build large amounts of marines by splitting the load over all my bases equally.

Seriously, not enough people realise you can train units from more than one facility at a time. I wipe away enemies because they try to train an entire army out of one garage or barracks.

I thought so too, at first, but it's built more like the Plasma Rifle. The Repeater doesn't have the second extension after the grip.

>>145832763
I'm willing to bet that the Temple variants will function more like the Rally 'Hog variants - slightly upgraded armaments and armour, and higher speed. The Banshee Ultra is an Ultra Rare req, if the Temple variant were an upgrade it'd be a Legendary upgrade.

As for the three unknown REQs on the lower row: willing to bet they're some form of Focus Rifle. They follow the general Covenant upgrade paint schemes (blue, red/yellow, white).

They were actually leaked back in May, the first one costs 4 reqs with better accuracy and heat dissipation. The second one is 5 reqs with increased damage and "can also serve as an utterly lethal melee bludgeon." I'm guessing it functions like an energy bayonet. I would also assume REQ prices have been adjusted since then, as 5 is a bit low if it has one hit melee kills.
