If it's still designed around console play though it's doomed to be shit.

Cross buy is confirmed, I'm pretty sure. Getting it on PC unlocks the download on Xbox, since accounts are connected.

>>342521483
all of those seem to be in the style of the chopper which was basically the strongest ground vehicle in h3, i think 343 is just being lazy and reskining instead of adding actual brute vehicles.

My understanding is from my RTS friends that the first Halo Wars was actually pretty good considering it's a console RTS. None of them tried the beta for 2 though because they don't have xbones.

>>342521852
There's a few new covenant vehicles: A blisterback (which is the missile launching one in the poster), which is essentially a flying tank that can ground itself to act as an artillery unit, A shroud, which is a flying cloaking vehickle that provides a cloak and local overshared. A marauder, which is basically a cross between a chopper and a wraith and is a agile, light tank. There's also an anti air walker I forget the name of.
>>
>>342522167
I never had an issue with cyclops's, in fact I never even used them as cutter.

The only OP units IMO are banshees and snipers.

Literally everything. The last time I was this disappointed in a sequel was Halo 4.
>>
>>342522603
I didn't like it either till like 10 hours into it when everrything started to click

The game still has problems, but this was obviously an actual beta (the game crashed and froze a ton), and there' like 9 months till the games comes out, they have time to fix it if they actually listen to feedback, which they did from '5s beta

So I have faith.

It's shit. It has absolutely nothing to offer anyone who has played any RTS on PC to any extent beyond the Halo setting if you like that. Streamlined, simplistic, and boring. Might be worth checking out for the campaign when it's cheap. That's it.
>>
>>342522853
It clicked for me in a few matches. It just doesn't feel like an improvement in anyway. The controls are worse than the original, the UI is shit, the new units don't add much, upgrades are shit (though that's probably just for the beta), the new resource was completely unnecessary in a game where the original was all about making the base building simple. I'm good at it, I've carried pretty much every teammate I've had, but it feels awful to play.

This. The only reason they're tech is so behind is because of constant infighting (Paired with short tempers) and no need to adapt without the Covenant. After the Covies scattered the Brutes went back to their old ways of using war to advance.

Yes, though in universe it would be extraordinarily rare, but there are examples where they last 15+ years: http://www.halopedia.org/Juliana

But she's a core character so obviously she'll be one of those rare exceptions.

>>342527080
>Halo series should be dead and buried
Master Cheif's story, sure, but not the whole franchise. Too much good lore to use for spinoffs and more novels, which is all the franchise should have been after Halo 3/

That said, i'm really supervised by how good 5's multiplayer is
>>
>>342527635
>but not the whole franchise

yes, the whole franchise, anon. keeping things going forever just makes them stale. producing a bunch of outlying lore in novels that are written to a 13 year old level doesn't mean anything.

Confirmed for having shit taste. Nobody is claiming the novels are dune level good but they are still enjoyable, and a few of them are legimately fantastic sci fi.

Nyuland ones are generally considered to be the better ones.

IMO, Ghosts of Onyx, Contact harvest, Evolution, Broken Circle, Last Light, and the Forerunner Triology* are the best ones.

Forerunner triology having an arterisk because while it's clearly the best written by an author who actually does good classic sci fi and cosmic horror, it also ruins a ton of the mystery in the universe

Perhaps. When I played it, the guy running the booth said they unlocked all abilities and maxed out resources for game sessions.

One more thing, they changed the ODST drops. Instead of launching them individually, they just launch a cluster of pods.

All counter units in general have been buffed against what they counter, which is a good thing. Cyclops's just seem good because they are an infantry unit that counters vehicles and infantry is normally weak to vehicles

They are vulernable to other infantry, though

The only units that are OP are banshees, and snipers.

There's also the leader ability called "ODST assault group" which drops 2xODSTS, 2xCyclops,1xWolverine and 1xScorpion, which doesn't make any sense, i would rather have the ability to freely drop ODST's.

On the bright side, at least ODST's feel like actual "elite" units with significantly improved properties in comparison to normal marines.

That's bullshit, the fall of reach says all smart AI's are
>>
>>342534645
Halopedia: "This process destroys the original brain tissue, and so the brain being used is typically obtained after the host is dead."

Cortana is the only Smart AI made from a cloned human brain, stop saying all Smart AI were made from cloned brains they were all made from dead human host.

Honestly, those mystery needed to be revealed since the alternative is that an ultra advanced sci-fi race capable of galactic genocide lost to space zombies. That shit would have made them the equivalent of Stargate Ancients, and fuck if I'll let them go down that path.

It supposedly says it in the Halo Wars strategy guide
http://www.halopedia.org/Serina

One of Serina's human memories is of kissing a boy. She possesses a theoretical interest in chocolate, which is likely also an artifact of her host's mind.[7]

Sure, HW1 takes place 20 years before the main Halo games, all you need to know is that there's a big war between humanity and aliens.
Halo wars 2, while being a direct a sequel, also seems to have a bigger connection to the main series but you shouldn't have any trouble understandig the plot.

Do you even Halo Lore faggot?

Here is Halopedia better than Halo Nation in every way, read up

Are that guy who constantly troll Halo Threads stating that 343 broke canon with Cortana and Smart AI in Halo 4 but will actively defend Reach of breaking most of the series canon?
>>
>>342536001
>>342536157
eh, imo the campaign wasn't that great. The characters were cool but the missions were dull, the shield world doesn't gel with Onyx shield world and halsey said all S2s were accounted for at Reach aside from Gray Team plus the Flood can't assimilate jackals and grunts because they don't have enough calcium

Co-op was bretty fun tho and multiplayer was the real hotness

Alright listen up faggots:

- All smart AI's are made from human brains, usually dead donars
- All smart AI's have limited sensory memories from their doners, such as Serena with the choclate or Sif's donar brushing her hair
- Cortana and maybe Kamiya (I forget if it was kamiya as well) are unique in that she was made from a still living brain which was cloned from halsey

>>342535979
>Was Ghosts of Onyx sequel good? that was my favorite book

It (Glasslands) is okay. A lot of people think it's shit but that's mostly from people being butthurt with 343 and them having certain headcanon.

I would agree as far as halo novels go though it's one of the worse ones, but it still has plenty of stuff in it that's enjoyable. The other two books in the triology (Thursday War and Mortal Dictata) it's in though only get worse. The third book in it is outright just not even worth reading because it's actually shit rather then just sub par.

Thankfully the other book that follows up with blue team and the S3's after the events of Glasslands is great. (Last Light)

>>342520615
I'm still bitter that Bungie killed HaloGEN, which would have been 100% better than both HW and HW2

Knowing 343 they probably retconned that shit out, whos going to remember a blurb from some dead strategy guide anyways?!

Halo Wars is one of the last games I can remember that came with a manual in FULL COLOR but also was full of lore and little details, not just explaining the game to you

Ensemble were based and MS are cunts for buying them just to shut them down. Is Robot Entertainment still around at least?
>>
>>342536450
Thank you, at least someone else actually does their homework and read about this shit. Now I hope we can move on from this " all Smart AI were created from cloned brains" shit.

Halo has always been for casuals, so when they made a FPS game it was shit cause of how simplified it is.

Though, kudos to them for not making an assfaggot, which is casual even for casual rts standards.

>Opinions on the Kilo 5 trilogy.
You got it perfectly. Most people just shit on the books because of Travis without even reading it or wanting it to be bad. The first book was fine, the second I didnt mind.

Yet despite liking the first 2 I have to agree the 3rd was terrible. Its a shame because I like the subject matter.

>>342538569
You have to consider that all the people doing the bashing are selected by paragonsky and osman, two people who HATE halsey, and are acting as ONI agents

no shit from their perspective hasley is evil. And there's like a whole chapter where vaz and mal are mentally debating if what she did was justified or not.

And it's not like Halsey is totally innocent, either. She was always portrayed as a bitch and morally questionable and somewhat ruthless, just thinking it was for a good cause,
>>
>>342539196
Yeah, that's pretty much the gist of it. A Bungie employee even tried to deny that they were making an RTS almost a month in advance of its advancement on September 9th, 2006.

Ive stopped liking Halsey after Ghost of Onyx so in the first book I was okay with it. However after the second book even I started to find it annoying.

That it's on console
It's Microsoft , it's not going to be total war level of battle tactics , by putting it on console you'd have to dumb it down more to fit a controller , which was the issue with halo wars 1, I actually liked it, but the only needed strategy was to select every unit and snowball the enemy
Also
> an entire army composed of suicide grunts
That shit was always fun

Also, how fucking old is Halsey supposed to be ?

Just keep in mind that if you take that than you lose the ability to get Close Air Support which is way better.

I get that she did do some bad things for the sake of human preservation. but she also gave us this badass motherfucker who kills aliens and doesn't afraid of anything so not everything she did was afoul.

But then again she also did give us our current headache to the universe, an ego-bloated god-complex Cortana.
