Hey there folks been playing 2 hours few skirmish and actual online games.
Graphics are better not amazingly better but improved, reactors for example the hook ones look nicer.
Glitches remain, arbiter rage glitch and cannister shell glitch.
Matchmaking system is different you do seem to find games faster as you can host them now.
But and its a big but....
There is no leaderboards.
There is no trueskill system.
There is no leveling system in multiplayer whatsoever.
I pray to god they will phase this in for launch, these are core features of the original game and makes online multiplayer more competitive. If there is nothing to grind for and nothing to compete for then it loses longevity.
I love Halo Wars but please only enhance the original removing core online elements is not good, also there is no 2v2 or 3v3 party system either that means 3 friends can match against 3 randoms ruining the balance of the game.
If it ain't broke don't fix it, and this is not looking good at all, please add a ranking system and please add leaderboards, also ranked teams should only go against teams like the original game for balance.
I love Halo Wars I hope this is phasing in features as basic features are currently missing and it worries me.
The gameplay itself feels a lot smoother though!
Thanks for reading please post your intial thoughts etc.
Sorry for the complaining I enjoy the game just hopping these features will be readded in for launch.
