So I remember not playing halo wars 2 when it released in 2017 because I wanted to beat the first one first and I was able to finally beat the first one after 7 years of playing it in 2015 and I was able to finally play halo wars 2 after 5 years of it launching in 2017 and man playing it is a blast

Glad you enjoy it. It’s an underrated game these days. Still holding out hope for halo wars 3, but with 343s recent decision makings it’s not looking good.

Creative Assembly pitched the idea of making a HW3 to 343, but they shot it down to focus development budget and resources on converting the Blam! Engine 6.0 into the Slipspace Engine and making Halo Infinite.
Honestly tho, it would’ve been nice to have Halo Wars 3 be a sort of prequel to Halo Infinite.
We have a six month gap of events between the prologue cutscene and the first gameplay segment of Halo Infinite.
Rubicon Protocol will go over some events in book form, but I think it would’ve been nice to have a sub-plot around a small band of UNSC that continues to suffer defeat after defeat until at the end of their last mission; the Master Chief shows up from his banishment in space and the marines we save initially are the remnants of that UNSC force we had been commanding in this hypothetical HW3
