If you buy the standard edition do you get Halo Wars remastered too?

No, it is only available in the Ultimate Edition although it will be sold separately for an undisclosed price sometime down the line.

What seriously!? I'm assuming it was a split second opportunity and I missed it? I was watching it on Twitch and Beam... crap!

Beat EviLore at pool.
It was a all day thing for NYC area people. Clicked the icon on the side of the screen and got a code.

I agree, it was actually pretty good and loved how they got into some details on some stuff. It was funny seeing Phil Spencer and Major Nelson making a point that Phil was wearing a Project Scorpio shirt. Just counting down the hours before it unlocks here in Idaho!!

Well... happy for you but I don't live in NYC so that sucks! haha Enjoy
Did Phil do an interview? Dang I turned the stream off at the wrong time! Any chance anyone has a timestamp so I can rewatch it on the stream recording or even a seperate upload?

Basic & Advanced tutorials and first two campaign missions completed, game looks and runs great sans for a few minor instances of hitching and audio distortion during the amazing Blur cutscenes.

Should I be able to play this already? I just finished downloading, and am currently playing. Didn't think it unlocked until midnight.

Alright, finished the first mission; gonna have to spend some time in the settings at some point, since I'm really not very happy with my frame rate and I suspect that's only gonna get worse. I've been spoiled by NVidia's optimized settings lol. Game is gorgeous tho. GOnna be sad to see that go.
Question: how do I open the pause menu...? Escape doesn't seem to do anything. Is that just a mission one thing?

Two problems so far:
1) Game won't go into Full Screen even though I've told it to. Even restarted.
2) Audio was stuttering a bunch during opening cinematic

From what I remember in the betas, it's F10. You can rebind it anyway.
got this too..
you have to change it in the options to windowed and then back to full screen, but each restart its windowed again... must have something todo with uwp
then it come to my mind alt+enter works in some engines, here too =)
sure its no fix.. but in the beta i went all the time in the options at each restart..

Thank you. That worked. Also, my stuttering was fixed with a few video tweaks. Looking better now.
Nope. I was wrong. Cinematics in the middle of mission 1 were perfect, then after were back to stuttering like crazy. I'm running 8 GB of ram, a 1070, and 4770K. I would hope my computer could handle this...

Does anyone know how long the campaign is?

I'm running an i7 6700, GTX 1070, and 16 GB RAM and I'm experiencing a few hitches here and there during the cinematics with some audio static as well. I think there is some loading in the background during the cutscenes that may be the cause, not sure.
Also using latest NVIDIA drivers that were supposedly optimized for Halo Wars 2.
Curious if the experience is the same on Xbox One, will check it out in a bit.

I quite enjoyed this as well, love the prefab bases that are flown in, makes sense for the universe.
12 missions, the first was 15.

I was downloading the game which was a 20+ GB file until it got to around 40-ish% and said "Ready To Play", so of course I clicked on it. I got an update prompt asking me to download a 2.8GB update so once I confirmed it, my Halo Wars 2 download went back down to zero percent and is now downloading 15GB.
Any idea what's going on there? Did it just dump whatever was already downloaded from the percentage and is now showing me what's left of the game plus the update? Also, wasn't the patch supposed to be 6GB? What's going on here?

I have a friend who's been playing since 9EST (8 his time) and yet mine won't start yet, says I'm too early. This is on the Xbox One.
the install % is always game + download

Same, even after playing a couple of hours. I had a crash to dash, then the game wouldn't even start. Cold booted the Xbox before it picked up the update. Hope that fixes it.
Edit: Holy crap this is going at 14.4k speeds. Get off my innernets you damn kids!
Did they buy the game from CDKeys? It seems those of us who did could launch right away.

I bought mine through the Windows 10 Store and it unlocked at 7:00 PM EST.

A year ago, I was DYING for a Halo Wars sequel. For some reason, now I can't muster any excitement for this.
I have no fucking idea why either. It's $58AU on CD Keys. Tempted just to support the game.

Do you believe that's really the case or is it possibly setup for Halo 6?

DE should be available from the get go. Although the game unlocks in like 10 minutes so the servers could be a bit busy. Try restarting?
