People seem to be enjoying Halo Wars multiplayer, since Robot Entertainment, one of several studios splintered out of the new defunct Ensemble Studios, is prepared to release another title update with additional balance tweaks and bug fixes.

The complete list of changes coming for the new title update:

Balance Changes:

  • UNSC Warthogs Gauss cannon damage against tanks and other heavily armored vehicles reduced by 25%
  • UNSC Warthogs build time increased by 3 seconds to 25 seconds
  • Anders research time bonus decreased to 25% from 50%. Her Research cost bonus remains unchanged at 50%
  • Covenant and UNSC turrets have 5% increased health and 5% increased damage
  • UNSC Elephants have a 20% more health
  • Grenade damage type now has 25% additional damage against Warthogs and other medium armor ground vehicles.
  • Recycle basic cost return fixed to be 50% for constructed buildings.
  • Locked down bases when unlocked will now release units inside very quickly, which means that when under attack a player can now build a fighting force while locked down and then release them much more quickly than before
  • UNSC Leader powers disabled at the start of Reinforcement Matches
  • Players no longer receive points for team killing.
  • Self Destructing/Recycling buildings now gives points to opponents

Bug Fixes:

  • Players should now find it much easier to play System Link games
  • Fixed Covenant Shield Generator Exploit
  • Invisible Units should now have invisible health bars
  • Players will no longer be able to scout opposing bases by using the area-select tool

I'm just surprised people are still playing Halo Wars; while I enjoyed the single-player campaign, the multiplayer didn't do much for me. More power to 'em.

    halo wars mp is awesome... hooking up with random people isnt that great but with friends it is by far the most balanced rts out. the game is all about scouting/ strategy and attack attack attack. now that anders warthog rush will be slowed down i will be unstopable.

    I really liked the campaign, I've played it a few times. I wasn't sure about the MP since I got my a$$ whipped the first 20 times but once I figured things out with my strategy and made some real competitions, I'm freakin hooked ! I'm flat out hooked on Halo Wars and have been for about a month now. I haven't touched Killzone 2, infamous, Halo 3 or anything cuz I can't stop playing this.
