Should Halo Wars 2 be a horror game?

I would just love to play a halo based horror game. But then again it could be impossible to make jump scares because of sky view.

Definitely a horror game, but you most certainly can’t have an effective jump scare if its not first person. Maybe something along the lines of playing as a marine aboard a flood infested ship.

Did you play Halo Wars 1? No, an RTS cannot and will not be a horror game.

Its an RTS though, kinda impossible

Even though an RTS horror game would be difficult to make. Jump scares? They’re thee most lazy way of making a horror game, no, games that define themselves as horror games but utilise mainly jump scares are not in spirit a horror game.

AN RTS horror game would be more challenging than getting to the -Yoink!- moon.

This can’t work. They can make a FPS game where you play as a Marine and as above stated, have it set on a Flood infested ship or something similar. If pulled off right it’d be awesome.

Cutscenes maybe, but besides that, that’s an impossibility

I wouldn’t say it’s easier to get to the moon or that it can’t work. As far as I know it hasn’t really been tested, as it’s such an out of this world idea.

Odium/Gorky 17, was in my opinion quite tense, if not scary and if I recall, it was an isometric top down turn based tactics game where you controlled a group of people.

The problem I think is getting the right atmosphere so that the player can “feel” it, especially from the player’s view.

Now I’m not going with the OP, I want HW2 to be more towards HW than a horror game, I’m just saying that the idea of a horror RTS while far fetched might not be all that difficult to make.

Naqser, I wasn’t being literal. “_____ is harder than going to the moon.” is just a figure of speech.

Well look at that, despite my efforts I learn something new everyday.

It’s an RTS -_-
