This month, Halo Wars 2 is receiving its first major changes and a brand new character, an ex-Insurrectionist named Morgan Kinsano. Revealed during a PAX East live-stream (much thanks to Chief Canuck for uploading the entire segment), Kinsano will have brand new units and leader abilities such as a Flame Warthog, a Hellbringer drop pod ability, and Morgan’s legendary unit, her own flamethrower-equipped Cyclops. Kinsano is a DLC leader and will be available to those that own the Season Pass. In other Halo Wars 2 news, a major patch has been dropped, addressing a number of fan complains about units like Sentinels. Plenty have been altered and you can peruse the article itself to view all of the pivotal changes.
Of course, there was plenty of other news tidbits, such as a ton of content from the PAX East stream like concept art, and some details on the state of Halo 5 and the HWC Finals. All of that and more can be viewed at your leisure on HaloWaypoint.com.
While Dust Storm is still struggling through the Halo Wars 2 campaign, patches are coming out this week for both Halo 5 and Halo Wars 2 and mostly for multiplayer. Forge possibilities continue to expand, unit balances across the entire Halo Wars 2 experience and a new radar being tested for Arena multiplayer are some of the highlights. Pax East is also this weekend where the team from 343 and Creative Assembly will talk about the story making process for Halo Wars 2 and some upcoming DLC.
Halo Wars 2 is finally out and brings the Halo saga back to the Ark, the Halo making machine we left at the end of Halo 3. After nearly 28 years, the Spirit of Fire crew wakes up to a new Covenant-based faction. We’ll dive into the story in another podcast, but for now, there’s lots of events heading up to the launch of Halo Wars 2 to get caught back up on.
The clock ticks away to the launch of Halo Wars 2 and we have not just one, but two Halo Community Updates, Halo Canon and a handful of other announcements. The Blitz Beta had some great outcomes with players clocking more than 90 years of playtime but providing some very useful feedback that’s already making its way into a day-one update. The Classic Helmet REQ pack is available now and the Halo World Championship returns March 24th – 26th in Burbank at ESL Headquarters. 343 has brought in community members to promote some of their latest content updates, which brings some familiar names to the spotlight.
We are all sad that the Blitz Beta is over, even if some of us only won one game from it. With the end of the beta comes the impending release of the final game, but while we wait, we take a chance to share our experience with the beta and share some of our listeners experiences as well! We had one submission to us in addition to those listening to us live on our Twitch stream. The Halo Bowl took place the previous week and Dust Storm shares the outcome of the tournament and fundraiser. Let’s just say, one did really well, and one did really poorly.
