Halo Wars balance update hitting in a 'few weeks' photo

The next Halo Wars update looks like a good one. A recent blog posting on the official Halo Wars Web site has a list of the bug fixes and major balance tweaks set to come to Xbox LIVE within the next “few weeks.” Among our favorite fixes are the squashing of the Covenant Generator dog s--t we’ve been dealing with for some time and the nerfing of the Warthog’s Gauss cannon. (But that whole players-NOT-receiving-points-for-jacking-their-own-dudes thing sounds pretty good, too.)

If you’re interested in a full list of the fixes, check out the blog posting on the Halo Wars Web site. We’re not exactly sure, as Eurogamer teases, what studio is behind the scenes on this update however a good, logical guess would be Robot Entertainment. So, thanks for continuing to support the game after all the nastiness with Ensemble. Players appreciate it, we’re sure.

As for you guys, how are you feeling about the update notes? We’ve seen many an argument about either class’s strength over the other. It looks like this patch is definitely geared towards the UNSC.

Never bought the game, cause it looks so "meh". That and it's on a console. Too busy playing Dawn of War 2. But I guess this update is good for all those who are playing it.

I played it online for a while, it was okay. Got pretty boring for me after a while. I learnt not to buy another console RTS, unless of course they re-release age of empires 2.

Wow they nerfed Anders and gauss hogs. The two things that were perfectly counterable. So we're just gonna get raped harder by Covey rushers? Yay...
