I have a question in mind that I want you to answer and that is, am I the only one that loved Halo Wars? I mean, the CGI cutscenes were eye candy, using strategic controls in a Halo universe, controlling your forces in multiplayer (either United Nations Space Command or Covenant forces), maps based on the flood, covenant, forerunner and human design (i.e. take control of a sentinel area and spawn friendly sentinels in a snow environment.)
If there was ever Halo Wars 2. I would like it to be both first person shooter and strategic like super leaders such as a Spartan or Arbiter that has much more health, more destructive damage, more shields, and better powers.
I like Halo Wars, it was a nice change in the universe and had a good story. My only problem was it looked so much better when it was shown at E3 2007. You should watch the video of that.
i love halo wars but the trailer was missleading i thought i get to control hundereds of spartans at a time not just 3 i hope they make another but with better base building for free build not by stuck in one smll place
too bad we couldn’t play as the flood but imagine halo wars 2 play as the forerunners or Promethean on mp or campaign. A space battle would be bad -Yoink- as well
Ensemble haven’t existed since the games release in 2009. the E3 2007 demo was from an alpha version built before Microsoft made significant cuts to Ensemble’s budget.
> Its still a fun game to play online. read my post and vote yes for halowars update!!
I’ve spent more time playing this halo game more than the whole trilogy combined. I recall earlier that 343i did mention that they were interested in making a game similar to Halo Wars
I can imagine epic space battles and tactical moves to use against each other. That will be an incredibly luminous game. ships blowing up, crashing onto the planet surface, other ships, etc.
It’s the game in the series I’m most neutral towards. It’s just kind of there. The CGI cutscenes certainly looked good, but were overall fairly shallow due to the uninteresting characters. The story was lacking, it felt as though they were just trying to put everything “Halo” into the game and really, it wound up lacking the Halo feel. The gameplay was all right but left a lot to be desired. As a fan of Ensemble and their other games, I expected more but it was a solid effort for a console RTS. They’d have to improve an awful lot to make me consider another game, though I would absolutely love a full on Halo RTS. It’s one of the few series with great potential to branch out into other genres and I don’t want that potential wasted.
