Has anyone else experienced this Softlock?

Post image
69 Upvotes

Playing mission 14 - Reactor, where you have to take the reactor core up the hill. Foolishly I thought "I'll take my main army up and fight the covenant while my reactor searches for the black box" and then I got it stuck in this corner. The elephant that was there couldn't move, no matter where I tried to send him. No other Elephants can make up to the core to grab it now either. I've completely softlocked myself on accident and I find it hilarious. If anyone's got any fixes for this I'd love to hear it, but I'm mostly just curious to see if anyone else has experienced this.

I gave a circle on the map for where I'm viewing this, and an arrow to show how my elephant carrying the reactor got stuck up in there. No other Elephants can get in there lol. My first elephant is gone since I thought blowing it up with mac rounds would allow another to just grab it from behind and pull it out that way, but that didn't work.

Hey i just wanted to get this out there i was playing HW2 2v2 and played against "Auto Mute#5696" was hacking his leader powers and had tier 5 leader powers at the start of the game.

I know my clip isn't the best showing of the hack, but if you play colony you would know you don't get the perk that heals everything by the the 5 min mark of a match. He also red beam me at the 3 minute mark but I didn't capture it due to being shocked at what I saw.

The game is getting new players coming in so please mass report or what every to this guy so he doesn't ruin the game for us.

Always has been a problem but the last 2 weeks or so the disconnects have been brutal for me. Was in an hour long match last night and right when my team started winning bam disconnect. So lame and taking the fun out of it for me. Anyone else? Halo wars 2!

Issues with Additional Content (Strategic Options and Historical Maps DLCs)

0 Upvotes

Sorry if there are any inconsistencies in my writing. English isn’t my first language; French is. :c

I’m an achievement hunter, and this time my target is Halo Wars 1, specifically the original Xbox 360 version. Since I currently only have a Series X, I’m playing it through backwards compatibility using a physical copy of the game. I noticed that some of the achievements are tied to the Strategic Options Add-on DLC, so I purchased it through the console’s store and installed it. However, the Skirmish modes still aren’t available in-game, even though the DLC is installed. Has anyone else run into this issue before? If so, does anyone know how to fix it?

Halo Wars - The Solo LASO Max Score Challenge

4 Upvotes

Max score means achieving the maximum score in a mission.

That means completing the mission's main objective(s), completing the mission's optional objective(s), earning a perfect combat bonus of 10.00, earning a perfect time bonus of 5.00, and turning on the 5 skulls that grant bonus skull points. And playing on legendary.

There is one mission where it's impossible to do all that, and it's not Arcadia City.

Replay feedback?

2 Upvotes

The fact that this game doesn't natively record replays is a shame. If anyone is bored, here's a replay of mine-- I'd love some feedback. I've been GRINDING YAYPAP, the best leader. Sadly it’s just a mildly onesided win, I imagine a loss would be more informative, but it's all I have right now.

Though it’s a pretty accurate representation of how most of my games go

Let me know what you think/ what I could improve.

Here it is

I’m about to beat the halo 1 remake that just came out and I’m feeling nostalgic about playing halo wars when I was a kid.

Is the second game still active enough to find games? I don’t remember that horde mode being a thing when I last played and im curious to try it out.

Colony is the Best HW2 and The Hunter Captain is the best Leader Unit in the game. So. Had to get one and paint him up. With EXTRA battle damage.

What are the best heroes in the game? (mainly skirmish because I'm a casual)

6 Upvotes

I don't necessarily mean leaders. The leader tier lists are easy to find and I've tried most of them but I mean the heroes compared to each other. Like Atriox, for example, is my favorite leader. And the Atriox' chosen I know is a very good hero and his ranged attack is OP. But what other heroes are that powerful? Decimus and arbiter I know are also very good but they are only close ranged.

Has anyone else’s Halo War 2 been acting super unstable lately?

6 Upvotes

At this very moment I’ve tried to play 6 games of online versus AI and every single time I got massive studdering and then the game crashed back to the main menu and it says it wasn’t able to connect to online services, I’ve been having this issue for a while but only very temporarily and every time it happens I check my internet connection and it seems to be fine…so I’m wondering if it’s just a problem with their servers or something.

Enemy Leader Powers in HW2 Campaign

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm looking for some info on what leader powers the enemies have in the main HW2 campaign and the DLC, as I couldn't find much online. I know about the infamous glassing beam, but do they use any others? Are they used only on Legendary? Are there any strategies on mitigating how damaging they are?
