I found it situational. I don't know im not a proficient RTS player though ive been winning most my matches so i must be doing something right
Huh. Played one 1v1 round and it worked fine. Started a second match, got 5 seconds in, and lost control. Can't make any commands, I can only move my camera around. Neat :x
edit: Maybe because the servers went kerplunk? Just tabbed back into the game and it had disconnected me.
Really digging the art style and general design elements in this game. It's a really nice and consistent aesthetic that feels the best it's been since Reach. Across the board, the game just feels very well made, focused, and polished.
Standard Covie squad is "Grunts", which is just lead by a Brute. Pretty sure this was the case in HW1 as well, where the basic Grunt squad (lead by an Elite) was weaker than UNSC Marines but the Covies got more of them. Dunno how it works in Halo Wars 2 proper but in Blitz, the Grunts are worse but aren't they also cheaper than Marines?
Jump Pack Brutes, as mentioned, are anti-building units. Don't bother with them in Blitz unless you can use the jumping ability for quick captures or something.
I envy all of you who can play
My downloads on the Win10Store stall. I've been trying for the past 2 days to get FH3 to download, no luck. Same with the HW2 blitz beta, still no luck.
Gears of War 4 downloaded almost 100GB no problem, but suddenly, I can't get any other games to download.

I've tried WSRESET, anything fix that involved Powershell, etc, still nothing.

It will run well at 1080p/1440p for sure I imagine. Just download to try.How does it run on a GTX 970?

Yup, downloading it. I'm very curious, Creative Assembly is an amazing team and i'm glad they're doing this.
Yeah the game seems pretty optimized on PC and Xbox.
What problems are you having? Is it not downloading properly? Also are you opposed to downloading and installing it in a different manner? Because I can help you with this
Damn. I actually think something may be borked with your Windows 10 install. That's the only thing I can think of. (and no, you shouldn't have to do a clean install...you should be able to do a reset through the settings...) Hmm...That MS guy who works on the store may be able to help.

Ricky, what's the error code you are getting?
Not getting an error code, but my downloads just stall at certain points. For instance, it'll get to, say, 3.64GB and then just sit there. I went to work, came back at 9 and it was still at 5.67GB yesterday. I'm mostly referring to Forza Horizon 3. I tried HW2 this afternoon and when it stalled, I never went back.
I might have to reset, but damn if that's not an extreme to go to. Playing Gears of War 4 @ 60FPS sure was sweet though ...
Does the download say "Paused" when it stops? or "Pending"?
Nope, just
Downloading . . .
7.64GB of 51.97GB
And stays that way until I pause it and it resumes for a bit and then stalls again.
Going to reset. It's been about a year since my last. Guess it'll clean out the cobwebs and dust.

Have been mostly in the dark regarding HW2 and "whoa" was the first thing that came to mind when I saw those images.I miss the old Anders look

Like Carter looks closely resembled but Anders looks like a completely different person all together.

She used to look like a 30~35 year old Asian women but now looks like an American teenager. I can't say that I approve of this change. Wonder what's the reason why they did it outside of the annoying "artistic view".
my download says its 8GB

I think the reason was that Carter and Anders weren't made after actual people in the original. So for HW2 they decided to do that (maybe it's easier?) which resulted in changeI don't know why but it annoys me so greatly.
Same character but completely different between the games.
If anything she could be her daughter
I do believe I heard something about the reason for Carter and Anders having new 'models' are because they are made after actual people, but IDK.
Why why why :3
Ahh maybe. Carter is similar enough but Anders is a complete change from the original it's just stuck as a annoyance. Especially after recently playing the DE again.I think the reason was that Carter and Anders weren't made after actual people in the original.

I agree though. Really jarring.

Ok, you are just doing a reset and not a full reinstall right? One is faster than the other.
And 51GB is totally wrong. Wow. I hope when everyone does the Creator's Update that this bullshit is over.

Yeah not really seen anyone complain about it yet
And even if it didn't have great performance, RTS is one of the few genres where I'm ok with 30fps. It took me forever to figure out that Generals was locked at 30.Yeah not really seen anyone complain about it yet

I think i misunderstood the rules, so the control points actually have nothing to do with the energy gained right? It's only the pickups that increase your tick rate?
Probably.I'm guessing it's DX12 on pc?
Well depends. For the most part it's ok in RTS but it's much better to watch higher. Feels so smooth.And even if it didn't have great performance, RTS is one of the few genres where I'm ok with 30fps. It took me forever to figure out that Generals was locked at 30.
Yeah it's been matching pretty fasts so far.I realize this is a free Beta so it's not indicative of the how the final popularity will be but the Beta is rocking on PC. Finding matches in under 30 seconds in 3v3. Good news
