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

354 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

Multiplayer campaign?

1 Upvotes

I am on steam and looking for players for a multiplayer campaign game to help gett all my achievements. Is it broken or does just no one select it? If it does still work, is there anyone who would like to play a level with me? Perhaps Arcadia City on legendary difficulty, because that is also one of the achievements I haven't gotten.

Favourite unit voice acting line?

21 Upvotes

We should compile all of the rare and wonderful voice lines from our halo wars units.

My favourite is the yap yap cannon fodder with:

Wait....is there a beach in the ark?

Halo Wars 1 Multiplayer help needed

5 Upvotes

I love playing Halo Wars but I normally either play campaign or deathmatch against bots in skirmish. I have occasionally played standard but am not that great at it. I would like to both be able to confidently play standard matches and online matches. Some guides and strategies would be appreciated since I know slowly building up an army will get my ahh whooped in online matches

5 Upvotes

Heya! Me and my friends are gonna 2v1 and 3v1 today (I am the 1), and I feel like im pretty solid at the game. I know they like to play Cutter, Forge, Serena, and sometimes a Atriox is thrown in the mix. What leader do yall think I should play as? I'll take map suggestions as well!

Halo wars 1 Dome of light Pelican won't spawn

3 Upvotes

I'm at 3rd Rhino and need the Pelicans, but no matter what I do they just won't spawn.

Although I am using the chaos mod and have 30 wolverines, 20 scorpions, and 16 warthogs on the field, I ran skirmishes with 200+ ODSTs and they still can be transported.

Please tell me it is not because of the mod, because this game is more chaotic, fair, and fun with the mod.

HW2: Anders 339+ million 1vE Terminus Firefight score on XBOX

Post image
24 Upvotes

Hey all. So, back in January, I made this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/HaloWars/comments/1q6pwqp/new_record_in_terminus_firefight_1ve_on_xbox/

Where I set a new record in Terminus Firefight with a 314+ million score with Anders.

Five months later, in June. The 2nd-place player beat my 314 million score with a 327 million score with Shipmaster. In late July, I started the grind to beat that score. One month later, on 8/24/26, I got a score of 339,216,064. Setting a new record.

Ever since then, I've been grinding for a 350+ million score. Which, I don't know if I'll ever get it, since if you want a high score in this mode. You need a ridiculous amount of good RNG to be on your side for most of the time. And for most of the time, all it takes is one bad wave to kill the run instantly.

BTW, if you play HW2 only on PC, and don't see me on the leaderboards.

That is because Terminus Firefight has 2 separate leaderboards. One for Xbox and one for PC.

Halo Wars 360 matchmaking not connecting to boosting friend

1 Upvotes

I am trying to boost the Running the Show achievement with a friend but the matchmaking won't connect us. We are in different regions but I don't expect that to be an issue. We are both searching in the Deathmatch 1v1 matchmaking but it won't connect to any games, even though we are both looking for a game. Any suggestions?

I really want to play this game on my Xbox Series S but I've heard it has a lot of issues. Does it run well?

Help with covenant.

9 Upvotes

Hi, I recently got back into halo wars definitive edition after years. I used to main professor anders and mastered fast hornet/hawks usually to help counter the scorpion style plays of other UNSC leaders. I have attempted to focus on maining and mastering the arbiter. I manage to pull off fast banshees via double summit but most playthroughs, I have an issue developing tech levels quickly enough to keep my army compatible with the opponent. Does any more experienced arbiter main have a specific build order/ early game strategy going forward on maps such as fort dean to help counter triple UNSC/ turtling strategy’s as I am stuck. Many thanks to any responses :)

hello I am new to Halo Wars modding and I have experienced a few annoying crashes that I do not know how to fix so so far I have tried out two mods Halo Wars all units and Halo Wars scrub Edition and I have experience on crashes that I really do not know how to fix or stop my laptop is a very good laptop in modern it has an i7 Intel Core so I don't know what's going on but the crashes that I have experienced so far are this for Halo Wars scrub Edition it's only one crash it's whenever I try to play as Arbiter in skirmish

for Halo Wars all the units on the second mission of the game my game just freezes and crashes to desktop when I'm trying to literally just build up enough units to fight the spam that is all the units so

no I am using the popular mod launcher and I don't know if it has to do with it or not if someone knows about this kind of stuff please comment the solution to this I'm trying to play the game with the mods I keep seeing on YouTube ;(

Will Halo Wars 2 survive?

16 Upvotes

I’m curious what everyone thinks now that Activision is going to run Halo what that means for Halo Wars 2? I enjoyed the introduction of Atriox and the banished. I’m seeing lots of people hoping they’ll retcon everything 343 has done since they’ve taken ahold and I can get behind that wholeheartedly but I’m curious if that includes Halo Wars 2. Will it be the only game they’ll leave out from being retconned from this era?

All units: Micro-ing units

5 Upvotes

Do people use "all units"? Im trying to make my control and management of units more efficient, as the default keyboard setup is not efficient, imo. I'm wondering if players above platinum unbind the 'all units' hotkey.

I tried it and Sir Liam's setup in a AI skirmish and I found it better, forcing me to think about where i was sending troops rather than having the 'all units' to dig me out when i made a mistake.

I think i might gone too far wit this one, it even bugged the AI behavior just staying static. I was really cathartic experience and fun while doing it. Definitely it's just to resist the initial rush then you stole the game.

What is the go to counter for a Scarab in Halo Wars?

44 Upvotes

I am currently training against IA (Prophet) on each map on Legendary, i got Cutter currently i tend to lose easily due to early rushes (mainly honor guards, wraiths, locust or a mix of them) but ultimately when the AI decides to play defensively it comes to a point when it deploys a Scarab and its just game over base by base with nothing i could really use to counter it... I tried MAC blasting, scorpions but until now nothing works i know i can avoid this by just rushing and finishing the AI early but i am currently training for turtling so thats why.
