Feedback collection [Post your suggestions here!]

Hey there. Halo Wars is an amazing game, but we can all agree that there are still some issues with it. My hope is that, if we collect all our suggestions and feedback in one discussion, the devs have a better overview of what the community wants.

Feel free to post your feedback and suggestions below and i might add them to the list.
Please don't post feedback that is already included in the list.

If you can find your suggestions in this list, but you're not happy with how i summarized it, feel free to tell me and i will change it.

[343 Industries]

Thanks for the feedback! We'll sticky this in case others would like a consolidated place to share their suggestions as well.

[Skoll]

I think the thing most players want is crossplay between windows and steam.
Still feel scammed tbh, windows version has no server browsing or matchmaking.

[StoneCold]

My suggestion:

Remove the region lock for mp matches. See my thread over here:

[knightpowell]

[Drkilljoy91]

Windows store version does have a server browser, its just that nobody makes a public game it seems, but i can't help to feel scammed as well. Mostly since the player base will be majorly steam-side and therefore make windows version obselete :/

Would you guys prefer if i take all suggestions made by you and add them to my initial post so we have a better overview?

Agreed :D

[BONKERS]

It's nice the pre-rendered in-engine FMVs were updated a little bit. But they are still too compressed and blurry. (If you updated these renders, why not at higher quality? Why not render them with high quality offline SSAA?)

If only they could run in real time or you could offer an optional free DLC for higher quality videos. (With a very very high bitrate at a higher resolution hopefully)

[Khan]

I have summarized your suggestions and added them to my initial post.

[LaFaille]

Thank you for adding the "language change" one. Really do appreciate it

[iMPERIALWOLF]

Release Mod Tools for modders with steam workshop integration

[Fade Sevar]

i will say it needs a little more optimization because i should be able to run everything on high but i cant....... and even if everything is on low i still get bad/choppy frames......

[KrappyKappy]

I keep seeing people saying that this game doesn't have actual matchmaking and also doesn't have the original ranking system. So maybe bring those back?
