The second Halo Wars title update has been released by Robot Entertainment. You can find the patch notes as follows. Some pretty positive changes I think for all players. Fans can discuss the update on the official forum thread.

General

  • Flaming Warthog and Honor Guard Wraith skins now available in multiplayer to players who have those skulls.
  • The option to show Unit Hit Point bars above units is now available.

Balance

  • The number of points to reach all ranks has been reduced. General now requires 2.4 million, down from 3.2 million, and other ranks have been reduced accordingly.
  • The max number of points you can get in a single match has been capped.
  • The Prophet of Regret’s land speed is now reduced to match other leaders.
  • Vampire Tech Upgrades now increase damage done by 15% in addition to their other effects.
  • Anders Cryo Bomb Upgrades now cost 50% more supplies.
  • Anders Hawk Upgrade now costs 50% more supplies.

Bug Fixes

  • Multiplayer Matchmaking and Connection improvements have been put in. Players should find that their 2v2 and 3v3 teams no longer split up.
  • ‘Ready for the Sequel’ Achievement should now be rewarded properly.
  • Units on Exile and Crevice should find it easier to traverse the map.
