Halo Wars 2 goes gold, beta kicks off this Friday

4.5
Halo Wars 2 has gone gold, 343’s Dan Ayoub announced today in a Tweet.

Although going gold still means this is the build that’ll be available on disc, the term is losing its significance as day one patches and the games as a service model become the norm.

In other Halo Wars 2 news, the beta will go live on Friday on Xbox One, and PC for the first time. It’ll remain available all the way through Monday, January 30, open to everyone.

Only the Blitz mode will be playable, though all release day commanders will be unlocked. Blitz will be played on one map in the beta, and it mixes element from card-based games and RTS action.

Halo Wars 2 is out February 21. Ultimate edition owners get to play on February 17.

I tested out the game myself and it looks great what Halo Wars fans have been waiting on for a long time.

I don't really like halo wars mainly because of the view perspective.

NickPosted:

I'm hoping this one will be good. I never really liked the first halo wars.

Great opinion, learned a ton. Anyway, this seems great. Loved Halo Wars, can't wait for the second. I might pre order just to play the beta, not sure. I'm definitely playing this on PC though


used to love playing this game with my mate on xbox 360. I remember when there was usually about 1000 people online. Can't wait to play this on PC even though I suck at RTS games. Never forget warthog rushes.
