Cutter from the first game is back, but I'm guessing this takes place in between 3 and 4?

The beta isn't up yet right?

I'm downloading it now.

Went to search for Tekken Tag 2 but the xbox store is broken now it seems

 

[Tablo]

Hmm, wonder how different it will feel compared to the original RIP Ensemble Studios.

there's potential here, they need to keep the super intuitive control scheme, made playing a complete joy

 

[Avinexus]

Halo always brings it with their trailers. Anyone know the song?

 

[RdN]

Xbox store here has no results for Halo Wars 2 beta.

Have you guys been able to download it?

 

[CertifiedFP]

Seems like the Covenant side was using some stolen UNSC equipment in that trailer.

Also note that the Brute chieftain seems to be wearing armor made of scraps of UNSC armor, possibly some Mjolnir parts as well.

 

[Slightly Live]

Season pass new?

 

[Dusktildawn48]

[Illusive_Juan]

Installing Legdrop right now on my Xbox.

 

[Meatyhooks]

[Coxy100]

Xbox store here has no results for Halo Wars 2 beta.

Have you guys been able to download it?

Yep kept crashing though - it's busy! Look for halo wars 2 open beta

 

[Bsigg12]

I love that the download is titled Legdrop

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Ultimate Edition

Halo Wars: Definitive Edition? Xbox One remaster coming and it wasn't announced at the show? That's... Weird.

 

[Reagan's BR]

Halo Wars: Definitive Edition? Xbox One remaster coming and it wasn't announced at the show? That's... Weird.

Certainly strange. Crazy that its coming at all since the first one is Backwards Compatible.

 

[Tecnniqe]

Halo Wars (first one) is remastered for Win10 and X1

 

[Sou Da]

Certainly strange. Crazy that its coming at all since the first one is Backwards Compatible.

Halo Wars 1 isn't available for PC.

 

[KodiakGT]

Was hoping for custom games as part of the beta, looks like it might be only matchmaking? Understandable I guess.

 

[Reagan's BR]

Halo Wars 1 isn't available for PC.

Yeah but it is unusual to port a 8 year old game to PC so close to release of the next one.

 

[Compsiox]

Installing. PC Show tho ;-;

 

[deadman69]

no pc beta? makes sense.

 

[Rosur]

kinda meh that its only beta on XB1 would of thought PC would be better.

 

[Inumbris]

No Beta on PC? That'a a bit of a shame, I was really looking forward to giving it a try.

 

[Madness]

I'm not going to buy it. Will probably wait until a price drop. Maybe when the first sale of the season pass happens etc.

 

[Lkr]

No Beta on PC? That'a a bit of a shame, I was really looking forward to giving it a try.

same the main reason i could never get into halo wars was lack of keyboard/mouse. if you're going to release an RTS why not make it available on PC first?

 

[Random17]

Good trailer, best Halo trailer since E3 2012.

 

[Nollemaster]

Too bad the season pass is going to be a thing, especially after Halo 5's incredible post-launch support.

 

[The Flash]

It's nice to see the Brutes again. 343 have been shoving them off to the side too much since they took over.

 

[Reagan's BR]

Stinkles, please rename it ALL UNITS edition. Thanks.

 

[ant_]

First one to post impressions wins

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Certainly strange. Crazy that its coming at all since the first one is Backwards Compatible.

Why is that crazy?
