Never played any type of strategy games before but am a life long halo fan. Is Halo Wars something a noob like me could pick up and get into? I’m willing to give strategy games a try just looking for perspective if anyone else made the jump.
Halo Wars and its sequel Halo Wars 2 are actually well worth playing, even if it is just for the campaign (the cutscenes in Halo Wars 2 are phenomenal). You can set the AI to Easy in Skirmish matches so you can grasp the concept of the game or both games offer Tutorials before you play the campaign.
I was a bit of a noob when it came to RTS games, only playing AoE back in the day and not very seriously. I have Halo Wars 1 a shot, simply as a Halo fan. I loved it. Top to bottom. Then Halo Wars 2 came out. A bit different, but still love it. I probably play Halo Wars 2 more than the Halo main games at this point. I’m absolutely terrible, but enjoy it quite a bit. Can highly recommend.
Definitely recommend Halo Wars 1 and 2. Play some Campaign or Skirmish to get used to the game and maybe look up some guides on YouTube before you begin actual multiplayer.
