Halo Wars Title Update #3 in the Works

Halo Wars Title Update #3 in the Works
Written Thursday, June 11, 2009 by James Parkin

Good news for those who like to play Halo Wars. Developer Robot Entertainment recently posted on their Community Site about title update #3.

"We’ve been listening to fan feedback since our release of Title Update #2 and DLC pack #1 Strategic Options and are pleased to announce that we are working on title Update #3. TU #3 is aimed at balance changes and a few bug fixes. We’re looking in to a variety of things such as reducing the effectiveness of Warthogs, friendly fire/team killing and a few other balance issues. We’re also planning on making Invisible Unit's health bars invisible, among other fixes.

Stay tuned for more details on the upcoming Title Update, including more details on the balance changes."

Some great fixes that'll make the online aspect of the game a lot more fun for everyone.

Sounds interesting. The only problem is that patches normally cause new glitches / problems, but that's just the way it goes.

Can't wait to see the list of changes. I still think Strategic Options is a rip off at 800 points, but I'll live with it...

You can friendly fire/team kill by destroying a friend's base, i did it on accident one time because I forgot what color my friend was and I'm a complete idiot when its comes to RTS games

@3
If you use one of the leader powers (other than cryo bomb) you can actually kill your teammates if it gets close to them

More maps and units needed as well. Stop tweaking the balance and add units that will do that for you. UNSC snipers anyone?

Take the points cap off or lower the exp requirements again, then I'll be happy!

good, =) there finally doing something to the 'Warthog rush' man, thats really annying and noobish. Why can't people enjoy the game and make an actual base and army and not rushing! that way is more fun for both sides! =)

The game is easy to get 1050 gamerscore off of but they need to sort the ranking system i am a 3 star player and 800000 points to my next rank is to much

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
