It looks awesome and a I love the art style. I think it’ll be a fantastic game!
I’m not an RTS fan, although I did play the first Halo Wars. The only things I am excited for are the Blur Studios cinematics and the story/screenplay. I doubt I’ll get the game, but if I don’t have much of anything new on console to play next year (I have games on PC I am wanting to play), then maaaaybe I will consider it.
Looking forward to it. The campaign and Blitz mode.
I’m really looking forward to the campaign. I really liked captain cutter, however I will miss Serena if she’s not there a lot and of course Sgt. Forge
The best thing… the art style! Blitz mode seems really cool to me, just relax and play a bit without the extreme competitiveness (RTS usually feels really competitive to me).
This is the game i more want to play to the next year, it’s look very cool, and i want to play the beta now! And of course the finally game
I think the game will be awesome. The only problem I had was the unit population, but apparently it’s going to increase in the next beta, which means more kodiaks and wolverines protecting me in the early game!
Considering the fact that Brian Reed is now the main narrative director for Halo, I think Halo Wars 2 could be our last refuge from poor writing in the main games. I’m hoping this isn’t the case and Reed cleans up his act, but uh, I have my doubts.
Looks great. Art style is on point. Love the new units. Atriox seems To be a wonderful character. Hope they don’t kill Him. Interested on why everyone is on the Ark.
I have faith will play great because of CA at the helm, but I’m expecting disappointment in terms of story. 343i are the masters of hype and then screwing something up in some way.
I’m excited for the game. I love that they introduced a 2 resource economy. I’m not really interested in blitz mode at all. Might be good to learn how to micro units but I’ve been playing RTS for 20yrs so just want good old standard gameplay (think it was called deathmatch in HW2) . I know many people complain about 343i but halo 5 is my favorite game of the whole series. I love the story and I know people feel they turned Cortana bad but just like the matrix agent smith told us, humans are categorized as bacteria or a virus that just spread, consume and deplete all resources till there nothing left. We are self destructive. Seems logical that an AI would try and stop us from harming ourselves but we will never give up free will so very interested in seeing where they take the story.
Looking forward to it and to play a different style Halo game than I’m used to. It should be interesting and fun (never played HW1).
I absolutely loved the beta, can’t wait to see what the full game has in store.
I think it’s going to be lit.
Let me start with the facts first. Halo Wars 2 is a much more improved version of Halo Wars 1 but with a mix of its own. A lot more advanced and bigger RTS as an RTS should always be. Halo Wars 2 is more of an RTS than the first one.
My opinions of it is, it looks good. The campaign looks so far well made and I mean Halo quality with a good representation of the Halo Universe and especially with the races/species that exist within it. Kevin Grace seems like a great guy and I’m hopeful he has written Halo Wars 2’s story well. I believe the story is gonna be Halo quality we have not gotten ever since 343i took over.
The thing I’m mostly glad about is the content, variety, better balancing and their promise about creating a good amount of content during the first half year of the games release. I’m looking forward to a Flood, Promethean and hopefully a Forerunner faction. Flood is a must no matter what. Looking forward to this months second beta and to see the apparently new graphics and unit details they have made. I don’t expect the graphics to be radically different from the first beta but changes it seems to be.
So i have played every single game from halo since halo CE, and i consider miself a gold fan from the franshize. I remember halo wars 1 was awesome, not only for the inovating rts game style but overall it had a grate campaimg with awesome cutscemes and it was a new challenge. HALO WARS 2 did grate on replicating the feeling of a halo wars and making it better. The playability has inprove and the interaccion betwen your units and you are quite funny and i love it. I have play alit of bit of multiplayer and its a grate job so far 9/10 if not 10. The only part inhave a little bit of conser was on the campain. YES, we came back to have engaigin relationship betwen lore character in halobwars 2 the cutscenes and the in game interaction and dialogs make the lore awesome!. However, infelt there was to little of the cutscenes that back in thenday halo wars so remarcable. What i meant isnthat on rts games is more difficult to be as inmersive and be the skin who plays the story like on the fps halo. Yes i love thenidea of that in get to defeat boses instead of watching the ia doing it for me like in halo 4 and 5. That was a grate fix! But i felt and wished to see more of the cutscene at the endind of each or at least each 2 missions. After defeating the objetctives and finally conpletting the mission on legendary i was like a kid waiting for his present where is my superawesome cutscene with lore telling me what are thebresult of my action from the mission sadly the cutscene were countable with just one of my hands anbexpeting the first last and middle one infelt they were goinf to fast. I wamted it to enjoy it more. For example when i defeated decimus that one last hit i was expecting a cutscene either showing me the last shot or my spartans taking him over. Overall the campaing was grate and with a scalating dificulty. At the begining it felt easy enough on legendary but guys… you makes it hard on the way up which i love. 8.5/10 for camping
