The single-player campaign is where the story unfolds. Instead, generators have to be managed just like supply depots to ensure you have what you need to keep pumping out units. This means generators no longer gate your tech level. After all, it’s not just you with the higher cap your opponents have the same benefit.Īnother key change is the fact that energy is now treated as a resource. More units on the map has the side benefit of increasing the complexity of play. Keeping mixed armies is a good strategy, and it’s easier since Halo Wars 2 appears to sport a higher unit level cap than the original. Using the wrong type of unit will put you at a disadvantage. Simply clicking off to the side didn’t work.Ĭombat in Halo Wars 2 generally follows the same “rock-paper-scissors” style of its predecessor, so making proper use of your units is key to winning a battle. In the beta version of the game, you still had to back out of the menus, just like when playing on the console. The radial menu system works well enough, with one catch.

The PC shares the same interface as the console, complete with radial menus, though the d-pad is replaced by the number keys on the UI, offering quick select options. To be fair, Halo Wars 2 seems to do a decent job of it in small skirmishes, but in the larger fights, I wanted to switch back to the PC so I could instantly click on whatever I wanted. Where the controller still can’t compare to the keyboard and mouse is when it comes to micromanaging your units in battle. This may not seem like much at first, but it’s a help when you’re trying to confirm quick selections in the heat of battle. All of the core menus are done radial style, making them easy to navigate with the analogue stick. Unit groups can be toggled via triggers, while the d-pad contains some quick selection options like cycling between bases and squads or going to the last alert.

This is the same as the original game, so fans of the series will feel right at home. Selecting units is done via the A button, and movement is controlled with the X button.

Having said that, the menu system in Halo Wars 2 fully exploits the controller. I’d be more than happy to wait a little longer to get into a random match if it meant flexibility in control. A simple controller filter in matchmaking would resolve balance issues, as you could match solely against players of the same type. From a technical perspective, there is no reason why the Xbox One version of Halo Wars 2 couldn’t recognise a keyboard and mouse plugged into the system, but the development team didn’t want to support it, as they feared it would unbalance matchmaking.Īs a long time RTS player, I say let the console have the keyboard and mouse. How you interact with the game is the biggest difference, as the PC has the ability to use the keyboard and mouse, while the console is limited to a controller.

We spent some time with a pre-release version, running through some of the single-player campaign and a handful of multiplayer modes, and the gameplay holds up well on both Windows 10 and the Xbox One. Set for release on both console and PC later this month, Halo Wars 2 proudly maintains its console roots, although it is at home on both platforms. Microsoft and Creative Assembly are taking another run at consoles with Halo Wars 2. Sure, there were a handful of other attempts and some decent PC-to-console ports, but RTS games have generally remained in the realm of PCs.

There was StarCraft 64 in 2000 and the original Halo Wars in 2009 but not too much in between. Unless otherwise noted, all leaders have these units:Ī total of 19 units to build, and you will have to play each Banished leader in order to get the unique units.Good RTS games on consoles are something of a rare breed. The Fortress also has a slight variation between leaders Special units are trained from the War Council, and each leader has a different special unit.

You don't have to reach level 3 for the other special units though. You will need to reach level 3 with your unit building base in order to bring in the Scarab. I generally just built all units from the base closest to the enemy AI in case I wanted to wipe them out afterwards. You can easily do this in a Skirmish against an Easy AI pick any map, Deathmatch, turn Fog of War off, resources to max, and just build on all the bases then put a few turrets and shields on each base, build up your extractors and harvesters, then focus on building every unit. If you prefer a far less stressful way of doing it though, just follow the original idea: UPDATE: This is FAR easier to do in a strongholds match-assuming you survive long enough to get T3 units, but that doesn't take long and as long as you're trying to capture stuff actively, you won't get wiped out! It's somewhere around 5 minutes until T3 units are unlocked in Strongholds, and then you could build every type of unit.
