Kinda sucks that this game just released and isn't even top streamed on twitch for at least a day. But I guess that comes with the territory of being an rts game in 2017 
I got used to not doing suspend/resume in HW
E, it messed up my Mr. Punctual achievement. Seeing the state HW2 is in, I'm taking the same route. Challanges aren't fully loaded, and the notification pops up every 10 seconds of successful reconnect and then about the disconnect.RIP rush dream
1.36 gb patch downloading on PC.
4.91 gb for HWE.
edit: Ske7ch post.
"I don't have the patch notes yet but will get them posted to Waypoint ASAP. For context is this really a "day one" patch that's already out on Xbox One but was slightly delayed for PC. It has a few fixes but pre-dates launch so it's not specifically addressing some of the more frequent issues being reported since release. A much more substantial patch for Xbox One & PC is about to go into cert and once it does I'll get those patch notes posted on Waypoint."

Awesome thankyou. It was my next step. Just didn't want to spend all the time doing it for nothing
Just had a run in with an Anders and Sentinels in 2v2. Luckily I was Forge and she had to festory a base and 2 minibases, so I could repel the attack with 10 or so Wolverines. Then came a wave of Sentinels with a Condor, me being low a on supplies. Then 2 Condors, where I had to dish out Marines out of my last resources. They got melted. I could then retake the base, kill another Condor with ~10 Marines + 4-5 Wolverines, built the base while holding Sentinels off with the Marines and pushed all the way to their base. I was pretty lucky as my teammate was having a 1v1 too with the other enemy. In the end it seemed like they just gave up.
TL;DR: Rocket Marines are pretty damn good.
Forge's skill where he recycles lost units is top tier too. It sort of doubled the number of Wolverines when she raided my base with the 2 Condors.

holy sh...
just had a intense 1/5 hours 2v2 match in which the endgame consisted of marine vs. grunts spam match on max population and tech. tanks were not really an option, as they went down quickly in the masses of grunts. it was just a constant stream of infantry reinforcements crossing the battlefield in the fight for the last 2/3 bases. we won due to better economy.
but that was something else... really irritating.

Was playing strongholds and i think the game was running 1 fps, first time i witnessed that, it was there for like around 10 sec then everything went back to normal again, lol

still wont download.
You should let it sit. Sometimes it takes a while to determine what does and doesn't need to download for updates, since the windows store does delta update downloads.
If you check task manager you'll probably see CPU or disk activity as that process happens.
That's scary.

Are you using the option to automatically redeem the code from the message? As an aside, I still haven't got my DE code.

I've really been enjoying the firefight mode, it's just something nice to kick back and play at the end of the day. I just wish it had some kind of reward for doing them besides achievements.

Never played a RTS before but I have always thought this looked cool and loved halo. So would this be a good start I'm not a fan of Xcom would I like this
I prefer it to blitz versus matches. There is no reward as the want you doing pvp to make the game have a healthy population. If you could farm cards in Firefight half the pop would be playing it solo.
Its a common theme with vs AI modes which sucks for those of us who prefer to play with real friends or AI instead of randoms. Gears Horde mode does it well but i guess they saw the metrics and didn't like them.

It's fairly accessible for new players, yes.

I'd say most probably yes. Xcom is turn based and it is a whole different game. Halo wars is closer to a traditional base building - rock, paper, scissor style. It has a good tutorial plus a SP campaign that also teaches how to play;and plenty of modes to find your right spot.Never played a RTS before but I have always thought this looked cool and loved halo.

Mine was seemingly stuck there for quite a while, then it jumped up to ~700MB, and finished soon thereafter.

Does the game not handle players leaving properly? Second game tonight where someone left and I got "disconnected" as I was winning.

Anders scares me in multiplayer
This update... even after a reset the black screen mentioned seems to occur every single time you load the game and lasts 30 seconds. The game crashes almost every time after completing a mission and trying to exit to the main menu.
At least they possible fixed the optional/bonus objective thing I mentioned earlier.

Yep I feel the same way.
Really enjoyed the campaign and the different ways they came up with missions.
Seems like it crashes any time trying to go from game to main menu, so MP matches too not just campaign like I had earlier. Then you get to wait a minute for it to load between the normal loading and black screen. I'm pretty positive on the game but come on already, the first patch can't make the game worse. Hopefully the larger post-launch patch gets through cert fast.
The one per day of the week one? I didn't get it and I'm through 8 sets of them now starting last Thursday afternoon before the daily reset. It still reads 0% unlocked in the app too.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Even the achievements are bugged in this game, I definitely have not played as Shipmaster 9 times(which was my last weekly to do)...yet I get the achievement for doing 3 weekly challenges in one week. I'm not really complainin, but still..lol.
Blitz is life, been sittin on campaign till my friend I'm doing co-op with gets back from a trip, which is tomorrow!
I really wish ODST drops did more damage on enemy units, they really dont seem to do much. Such a stark contrast to the "Know Your Enemy" trailer where they crush some Blisterbacks.

It counts previous week too for some reason.
ODST is pretty king in Blitz but they have shit range elsewhere
Spartans are so OP in that mode.So after a few more blitz matches, I have to say: this is good shit. I got a spartan with isable and those are just lol, capturing a vulture or scorpion is fun
Oh look a free grizzly tank 👀
Jep, Im curious if they get a nerf. Can every Leader get a Spartan ? I feel a bit lucky that I got one, this is the best legendary unit right ?

Fairly certain only Issabel can use them

Every commander has a unique hero unit, and each of the base three UNSC has one of three Spartans from the campaign as their hero. IIRC it's: Cutter - Jerome, Isabel - Alice, Anders - Doug.
