Official Thread Halo Wars 2

Day one. Wasn't expecting it so a nice suprise. CA are the best in the business when it comes to RTS imo.
 
Didn't really like the first one and that surprised me because I like the developers, the franchise and the RTS genre. But something just didn't sit right with me about the first one. Glad to see another attempt at it all the same.
 
cross play with x1 and win10? should be very interesting, they seem to have next year locked down with the lineup already.
 
Interesting tidbits: CA just announced themselves that they are doing HW2, and with that they said they are building the development team right now. This means the deal between MS and Sega/CA might be more than just one game.
 
This announcement MADE MY DAY! I really thought Halo Wars was dead. Can't wait to see where Creative Assembly take the game.

Huge surprise IMO. I seriously don't think they could have possibly picked a better developer to work on this game (outside of maybe Blizzard).
 
Nice! Looking forward for this one and hopefully there's a limited edition of it.

But anyway like last time, I expect GameStop/2nd hand video game retail stores to get a bunch of used copies Halo Wars 2 when gamers find out it's not FPS lol.

Need more info now! Give me cloud powered battles with 6vs6 and I will cry myself to sleep for joy
 
I never finished the first one. Better get to it!

I haven't played it in a long, long time. Hopefully it gets added to back compat soon, since we've moved the 360 into my son's room.
 
I'm probably the only one hoping they don't do an RTS and instead just make xcom: halo edition.

But a good RTS is welcome too.

The only way I'll buy this is if you can somehow control the units a bit more. I dislike these RTS style games where you just build stuff & call it in over & over then don't ever get to shoot. It would be cool if you could take control of units like Warthogs & drive them around overhead & shoot with them.

You kinda could i mean it wasnt full control but you could be a real nuisance by micro managing a small group of warthogs.

I know you mean something like The Outfit though, that was a fun game, may it Rest In Peace.

Yep The Outfit was great.
