343 during development of the game planned out how missions would progress down one of the arms of the Ark. They also made a map coordinate system for the Ark, and Kenneth Peters stated this was done to calculate pelican travel time to each location for the campaign, and note the exact time the mission started. However, this was cut from the game as it was starting to get complicated during development.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=Lorestream|fYaxRoAf96s|HALO|Halo Lore Stream: The Halo Array|Y=2018|M=04|D=06|343 discuss the Halo Array}} | 343 during development of the game planned out how missions would progress down one of the arms of the Ark.

''Halo Wars 2'' launched with two separate game editions available for purchase; the standard issue, which offered the base game, and ''[[Halo Wars 2: Ultimate Edition]]'' - a special edition of the game that offered access to several pieces of digital content. The Ultimate Edition offered early access to ''Halo Wars 2'' on February 17, alongside access to the game's Season Pass (including the [[Halo Wars 2: Operation: SPEARBREAKER|Operation: SPEARBREAKER]] expansion) and access to the ''[[Halo Wars: Definitive Edition]]'', which had previously been in [[Halo Wars: Definitive Edition Early Access|early access]] restricted to those who had digitally preordered ''Halo Wars 2''.
