Hello fellow Halo fans. I will share some interesting information regarding Halo Wars 1 and things that may actually come up in Halo wars 2 including how HW 2 story may begin.
For over a year ago a lead designer and lead writer (He worked as both) of Halo Wars 1 went on reddit to answer peoples questions about the game and about him. (Links below) Let’s start with the Flood being playable. Yes. Graeme mentions that Flood was planned to be playable with its sequel. It was gonna be an expansion like Kane’s Wrath, SC II and Red Alert etc like RTS games usually do. Expansions can be sequels too afterall. Graeme continues to write that they couldn’t do it though because the studio was shutting down. Basically if it wasn’t shutting down, the sequel of HW 1 would have brought Flood as its 3rd playable faction. With this i am even more certain that HW 2 will have Flood as a playable faction, though we will have to wait and see.
The other thing i want to bring up is that the expansion wouldn’t just bring the Flood as its 3rd playable faction. It would continue the story. Ever wondered what happened in the legendary ending and after? Well Graeme brings up the whole beginning of the two ideas they had for the beginning of the sequel after the end of HW 1. Feel free to read. It is actually very interesting. It is revealed that Sergeant Forge did survive. You can take it as a good thing or a bad thing. What does this have to do with the question if HW 2 beginning has been revealed as the title says? If you read the two ideas of the sequel you will notice how similar they are as to how HW 2 trailer plays out. Of course I’m not gonna say 343 Industries would go with these two ideas 100% and i don’t expect it but it is similar and interesting nonetheless which means we may or may not know how HW 2 starts at least or how similar the beginning is to the story ideas. Either way I am interested to see what 343 Industries has decided to do. I am also curious to see if they went with Forge surviving. Personally i wouldn’t mind it because of the way Graeme explains how he survived. It fits really well with the Halo lore. It does make his huge sad sacrifice less hard hitting if you know what i mean and it will bother some which is understandable.
I recommend checking the links. Read it through because it is quite interesting. It is a shame we never got the DLCs and story expansion but i think it makes it even more clear how much potential HW 2 has. Feel free to share your thoughts about this. I will be reading through comments and reply if necessary. I am curious what you people think about this.

Whether it was an expansion like Kane’s Wrath, SC II and Red Alert etc or it being a whole new game, we don’t know. I personally believe it would have been an expansion and those can be sequels too afterall. Graeme continues to write that they couldn’t do it though because the studio was shutting down.

Interesting
It really is. I am surprised i never encountered this a year ago. My bad. I was sure Graeme mentioned the two ideas for Halo Wars 1 sequel they had planned on Reddit but looking through it again i can’t see it so i will have to add the second link to my first post. Link added. Read through it and you will notice how similar it is as to how the Halo Wars 2 trailer is.
If we assume 343 Industries start where they left off, it would mean that Halo wars 2 is set in three years, one hundred and seven days, fourteen hours, six minutes and eighteen seconds to be precise after the end of Halo Wars 1. With that HW 2 is being played out in year 2534. I think i read somewhere that red plasma was first discovered/created and used in the Great Schism but now when I’m searching for it, it doesn’t say that. It only says the red plasma rifle was created in the Sacred Promissory which i know but that’s it. It does not say anywhere that red plasma was discovered and used for the first time in the Great Schism.
If someone know if it has been mentioned anywhere when red plasma was discovered i would be glad to know. If there is no info about it, it is definitely possible for HW 2 to be played out at year 2534.
I would just like to see a really refined Halo Wars, with some minor additions to the gameplay as there is nothing major that can be added that I think will make it better. The only major addition that would be cool to see is additional playable factions, be that either the Flood, Forerunners (depending on when the game is set) or other unknown factions, possibly the Created?

wow that is quite interesting, the idea of expansions sounds amazing, i loved playing StarCraft 2 with there expansion packs plus they can add so much more content into the games then. wow the idea of playing as the flood sounds epic, convert everything to flood just like the Zerg in StarCraft. i also think it is good if Forges Survives as he is a great soldier with funny humour

Oh cool. I have been gone for some time but now I’m back. I’m very glad to see people reading this. Sorry about the links. I have yet to reach the required rank to create links haha. Yes and yes and of course yes. I love the SC 2 expansions and i really hope to see the same thing happen with Halo Wars 2. Personal opinion. I’m a bit sad the last SC 2 expansion got a bit low quality compared to the two other before it. Everyone expected badass cutscenes in the end but only got images. Sad face
Back to topic. With expansions comes a lot of content and as we all know, the Halo universe is huge so there is so much that can be done with HW 2. I’m so excited. I like Forge. He is one of the very good characters. I am a scummy Covenant/lover of everything that isn’t Human haha but i do enjoy well made characters no matter which race they belong to. I’m glad people checked the links. I think it is interesting for anyone who like Halo Wars 1 and is looking forward to Halo Wars 2.
