What gamestyle do u want to se in the game? With creative assembly heading the Project we have no idea what direction they will take this game in. They can use the total war gamestyle or keep the same style from the first game. What style of RTS do u want this game to be?
If the game had the same foundation as the first, but with better graphics, more units (like at least 2-3 times more) and some new vehicles and buildings/assets, id be one happy camper. I’m not even worried though, this game will be bloody wicked.
Edit: Units as in different/new character types AND 2-3x more units on screen than the first Halo Wars.
Personally i want a Total War Halo style game but i am very sure that Halo Wars 2 will not be like that. A few similarites maaaaaybe but mostly i don’t think it will be too close to it. I also really don’t think it’s gonna be too similar to Halo Wars 1 as well and to be honest, i hope it isn’t. Don’t get me wrong. I loooooooove Halo Wars and i have spent thousand of hours in that game but looking at Halo Wars 1 as an RTS, there’s a lot of things missing. It’s not fully fleshed out, wasn’t enough and big enough as an RTS game should be.
If you compare Halo Wars 1 with RA2, RA3 even, the CnC games, Middle Earth II, the Age of Empire games and Supreme Commander etc. Compared to those games, Halo Wars 1 is a small RTS. Sorry if it sounds kinda confusing but i know RTS gamers like myself will understand exactly what i mean. I did however hear that some content didn’t make it for Halo Wars 1 and they didn’t have that much time for the game so there’s a lot of potential and stuff that didn’t make it so i hope they let CA spend a good amount of time developing the game.
Since CA is developing the game, i feel safe. They know what to do and if you let them polish and just let them take their time on the game, i know Halo Wars 2 will turn out to be AMAZING. I have seen what CA can do when they are given the time to flesh out universes. It turns out really good.
I love Halo Wars 1 a lot and i can’t wait to see what CA will do. I am sure CA will make a great job with Halo Wars 2 and i am excited as fudge for it.
