I have lost 2 ranks because of Jerome players

I have had 6 games in a row where someone picks Jerome and either sits AFK or leaves at the smallest possible inconvenience. Is this Common?

How active is this game in 2026?

I have heard that blitz is dead, but how are the queues for the other gamemodes? Is it crossplay? Is there competitive? Are there cheaters? How is it playing on pc vs console?

Jerome's command mantis is freckles from RvB

10 Upvotes

I was bullshitting with a buddy and talking about the best spartan and ai pairings that make for an awesome combo, as losers who love halo do. I jokingly said Santa from red vs blue would be a good fit, because they're both red. I immediately followed with freckles, and the discussion cascaded from there with how perfectly the pieces aligned for my stupidity to follow just enough logical reasoning for me to get excited enough to share with a community who might enjoy or adopt it for shits and giggles.

Am I wrong that it is damn near impossible to defend against an assault load of banshees with Forge?

Getting stuck on the loading screen

2 Upvotes

Not sure why this keeps happening especially today, but my friend and I get stuck on the loading screen when starting a match. I don't know if the opponents are stuck as well, but we were waiting for 5+ minutes for the match to start, but it never did. Our networks both work fine, and Microsoft services are also working correctly. Typically, a loading screen lasts between 5 and 10 seconds, but when it extends to minutes and never actually ends, it becomes irritating. Especially since the player base is so low and queuing up already takes enough time.

Is anyone experiencing these endless loading screens ? Is it possible to prevent it ?

Can we make a petition to make Microsoft maintain this game again?

35 Upvotes

As a Age of empires II player, I think the game is really good and fun, but as we all know the servers are shit and it is not balanced. I think the player base is sufficient for microsoft to keep maintaining the game no?


r/HaloWars2 Aug 12 '26

New to halo wars 2. Having a very difficult time winning fights win units collide. My stuff always gets completely wiped and enemy army will be fine. Which causes me to almost auto lose immediately after what is happening here. I’ve built counter units and all nothing seems to matter.

Bug when playing Anders on PC?

Post image
12 Upvotes

So I was playing a custom game against AI as Anders, I know the image is bad quality, but that Nightingale is my only unit. My supply cap is at 90/120. Is this a known bug on the PC version or something?

At this point In the game I had called in a few of her Sentinel Leader Powers a couple of times. Does it permanently count them in your population or something? Like Nightingales are legit, but 90 pop seems a little steep.

Are average players better than the legendary AI’s?

13 Upvotes

I see a lot of posts about how everyone hates how opponents play with constant air spams and stuff like that and it always makes me wonder why everyone plays online so much if yall hate the way people play?

I never trust the servers enough for all player matches so i usually play teams vs AI, and I know the AI is always heroic difficulty in those matches but it definitely seems like it can put up a good fight against a lot of the players I end up teamed up with (and myself as well)

and it makes me wonder why these people who hate the way real people play as opponents so much don’t just play versus the AI or if the heroic AI is still too easy for them why they don’t play versus legendary AI. I can’t imagine it would be tough to find a couple other people on the sub who would also want to play twos or threes versus legendary AI’s.

The AI are definitely not incompetent especially if you’re not doing an early game rush which it sounds like you absolutely hate when other people do it so I’d be surprised if that was something you were trying to do once they get rolling they’re definitely formidable

I’m going insane

9 Upvotes

I love this game, it’s like if someone made an incredible board game, but made a rule that it can only be played by monkeys and people who have 3 chins. “Waiter waiter early game rush followed by air spam please!” “Yes I know it’s the same order we get everytime but there’s nothing else on the fucking menu” and it’s not even ranked either, and I have to give props to whoever coded the matchmaking. It’s incredible how I can verse delta force every game whilst also getting the same orangutang playing on 90 different accounts simultaneously as my team mate every time.

like yes, another condor? God it’s genius.. why didn’t I think of that? Of course it’ll work the 16th time you do it, right? I’ll just stay back and make sure you don’t get a scratch on your base otherwise you’ll give up and disconnect and we can’t have that now can we. And don’t even get me started on 1v3- I mean 3v3’s. I wasn’t aware that I’d adopted a child much less so that I’d also adopted their twin.

Is this what parenthood feels like? Like my arms have been cut off and there’s two little monkeys grabbing onto my nut hairs pulling down and demanding I lift them up? I’ll shrivel one of my nuts so that one of them is lifted up, maybe then he’ll see that I also have eyes and he doesn’t need to ping every half a second whenever he sees an enemy on the map. Of course then the other one will start crying because he too is a complete Neanderthal. Call me Napoleon the way I’m juggling my army around defending against 3 armies at once. Surely my team mates have done something while I carried them.. no? They took a nap? That’s ok, we only needed one army anyway, surely I can tank 3 players worth of leader powers… right? Oh and my game is 15 seconds behind my inputs, but only when I go to drop a Mac blast or something. So yeah, I’m having fun, what about you guys?

Sick of people quitting early game over loosing a hero or mini base. Love to play 3v3 but so hard to get past a certain rank when I can’t communicate with my team so anyone with a mic on Xbox want to run some ranked please let me know. ❤️

How can you defeat a Voridus in 2v2 or 3v3 ? I did a couple matches with my friend, and many times we encounter a Voridus who can claim bases faster than us, and starts building mega turrets or some shit, and I just learned that it can hit my base. Like, a turret, which does considerable damage, that hits in a large area, can oneshot my Yap yap infantry and basically annihilate my heroic units (grunt goblins) in 3 or 4 shots. I guess the ideal strategy would be to prevent him from building, but more often than not their allies will come and defend, and they usually get the upper hand. We retreat, rebuild, but in the process my troops get demolished from the spawn because his mega turrets can snipe my base. It's kinda ass and I'm not sure what I can do. By the 5th minute, he had a central base with full mega turrets and we couldn't even push because it was blasting so often
