    Halo Wars 2 - Can't get past first menu...


    So I installed the Halo Wars 2 Complete Edition on PC from the Windows Store, and it gets as far as "Press any button to start", but won't do anything when I click or press a button (I've also got an XB1 controller plugged in, but it won't respond to any
    of the buttons on that either).

    I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling from Windows store, but still running into the same issue. On forums it keeps telling me to launch from the app itself (no change), or revert back to a previous version of Windows, but there must be a better way to do
    it than that. Any ideas?

    :)

    Found the problem - at some point while clearing out bloatware on my PC the Gaming Services and Xbox Identity Provider apps were deleted. Installed these again and now working fine.

    Are you buying the next Halo?

    I played Halo Wars and started off on Legendary and couldn't even get past the first bit of the game. It went directly back on my shelf :|

    Not the best in the Halo series...

    Halo 2 holds that spot for me, followed by Halo: Reach, then
    Halo Wars.

    Never tried Wars. Everyone says it's good, but I just can't imagine a Halo strategy game. For me its CE that's first, then 2, 3, Reach, and ODST last.

    On What Level of Excitement Would You Be if..

    Halo HD bundle with Halo, Halo 2 and Halo 3 for next-gen.?

    Maybe one of the first games I would buy. Was a fan of halo and Halo 2 but couldn't really get into part 3.

    Never played Wars. Is that game like Age of Empires or Shogun 2?
