Games Halo Wars Series
1

When I read the Halo Wars 2 announcement I was excited, but at the same time cautious. I was very surprised that Creative Assembly was chosen over Relic Entertainment to develop the game. Relic’s games are much more similar to Halo Wars than any of Creative Assembly’s games. Both companies are owned by Sega. Both companies recent games have had bad launches and were mired in controversy. I also expect Creative Assembly to have a very full plate. They are developing Total War Arena, Total War Warhammer, and probably another historical title.

Creative Assembly has a history of releasing broken games and taking many months to get them working and/or abandoning them. Over the last decade my trust in them has eroded completely. This greatly concerns me. 343i and Microsoft are going to have to exercise strict quality control.

This is a Community Forum. You are not going to get the attention of 343 or Microsoft from here. And I am sure Assembly are being payed a lot to make this Title which is way huger than anything they have made before, if they screw this up then it is likely that this would have a major negative impact on the company.

Halo Wars was also launched with problems and underdevelopment, but not because of Ensemble’s lack of skills. Microsoft should take full blame for Halo Wars’ shortcomings.
