Grunts are as weak as they are because they are 1/3 cheaper than marines so they would be expected to be quite worse.BreezyStarfish1 wrote:Just a few thoughts on balance:
Buff Elite Rangers, Grunts
Buff Scorpions and Wraiths, they just don't feel like they're worth their cost.
Lower the cost of anit-air vehicles, or increase the cost of sentinels/banshees/hornets so people can't rush them.
You cant really make harsh punishments for people leaving the match early when this game still freezes and causes out of player sync frequently.Moosejavian wrote:Why am I so heavily penalized by my cowardly teammates leaving the game? How is it fair for me if they leave in the first 5 minutes of the game. I hardly think it is fair that I should face an inevitable loss because of the choices others make. It is a variable that should not even be considered when playing. Perhaps the reprecussions should be harsher when people resign early.
You have to lose to learn, I dont see the problem. I was a lvl 15 against a lvl 33 and he didn't win because the higher level is not necessarily going to win. They may be better overall but you may outsmart them in a game or two.JHowlett69 wrote:Match making is screwed. It is a waste of time to play any multiplayer when it pits a lvl 4 against a lvl 15 in blitz.
The pelican is already in the game, garrisoned units are already op as it is without a bunker, there are already forerunner spires of healing in some maps, anders already has the massively op sentinels so she does not need hawks, and please stop trying to get the creators to bring a lot of things from Halo Wars 1. They intentionally made it different so people aren't just going to be playing the same game again.Also mega turret would be op as offensive abilities are much more op than they were in Halo Wars 1.Saints14 wrote:This is pretty much everything that should be in Halo Wars 2!!!!!!!This is all in one leader and faction abilities and map design changes.
My list is:
1. Bring back unique stuff from HW like
-The Pelican used as a UNSC transportation ability
-Hawk, an upgrade to the hornet unique to Professor Anders
-Upgrade: Spirit Bond; if both Hunters in a pair are alive, they will do greater damage
Unique control buildings that did awesome things! Mega Turret: A massive offensive structure present in campaign and the multiplayer map Tundra
ForerunnerLifeSupportPod: Increases the max population for any player who controls it. Only found on the multiplayer level Beasley's Plateau.
ProtectorPlant: Produces three types of Protectors for the player who stands near it. Only found on the multiplayer level Labyrinth.
EnergyWall: Generates an impassable energy wall when garrisoned with troops. Found on the multiplayer maps Glacial Ravine, Fort Deen and Tundra and on the campaign level Escape.
Relic: Releases Flood upon an enemy when infantry are garrisoned inside it. Only found on the multiplayer level Release.
Forerunner elevator: Produces supplies when infantry are garrisoned inside it. Equivalent to an additional Supply Pad or Warehouse. Means you can build one less Supply Pad/Warehouse.
Forerunner Spire of Healing: Heals any friendly units nearby for the player who controls it. Only found on multiplayer levels Frozen Valley and Barrens.
Those were unique and made points worth fighting over and added a twist on maps to fight over instead of just attacking each others bases.
Things I think that would be a good addition,
-Deployable bunker: A structure that can be garrisoned with infantry units in closer to home. Upgrade it to add 3-4 squads in
This is pretty much everything that should be in Halo Wars 2!!! Also be unique about new map additions!
I was playing an AI skirmish match, and the shipmaster kept throwing my sentinels across the map. Maybe only in pvp?Viper Skills wrote:I do not know if this is by design but Shipmasters dislocation ability doesn't work on Anders sentinels.
Interesting. I'd imagine it's not by design then. Must be a bug.BrolandOfGilead wrote:I was playing an AI skirmish match, and the shipmaster kept throwing my sentinels across the map.

Halo wars 1 with more units, more leaders and more maps is exactly what we want. Halo wars 1 gameplay was flawless.xXGaarathXx wrote:The pelican is already in the game, garrisoned units are already op as it is without a bunker, there are already forerunner spires of healing in some maps, anders already has the massively op sentinels so she does not need hawks, and please stop trying to get the creators to bring a lot of things from Halo Wars 1.

I agree with a lot of this but the Covenant definitely do not need to start with a free hero that's crazy OP early game.MrJimmyPage2544 wrote:
- Grizzlies are way underpowered, they take ages to be build and are a tech 3 unit and 2 or 3 ODST units can easily take one grizzly down.
- Maps are boring, they all look the same.
- We need ranked 1v1 2v2 and 3v3 (separate playlist)
- We should start with a free Jackrabbit (Ghost, Warthog, etc)
- Covenant should start with a free heroe.
- ODST should be made from the barracks (upgraded marines) and should be tech 3.
- You should be able to deploy ODST like halo wars 1.
- Torrets take too long to be build.
