Hey Guys! this is my first post here on waypoint but being the total Halo nerd I am, I am feeling quite worried that the models that will be in HW2 will not be the ones we all know and love. Don’t get me wrong, I thought the storm faction elites and covies looked badass but I was quite upset in FOT when the Zealot was a Halo 4 elite model. Because Halo wars 2 is ONE of my favorites, I am feeling quite unsure if 343 will put their “own” models into the game. I have read somewhere that they will not and It will stay true to Halo Wars 1 models, but I am just feeling uneasy. Nevertheless, I am so excited for Halo Wars 2 and Halo 5! Thanks everyone!
Halo wars 2 will undoubtedly get new Covenant models, however I think Red Teams Mjolnir armour will be the same at least. Hopefully more epic cutscenes of fighting to come!
Halo Wars 2 isn’t being developed by 343i. It’s being developed by Creative Assembly. 343i is on-board to ensure a proper Halo atmosphere is conveyed and that canon is followed.
I have no doubt that CA will strive for canonical authenticity with its unit models with regard to what period on the timeline its units are from.
