Official Thread Halo Wars 2

First one was good, but lacked depth. Will be interesting to see what a new dev does with it.
 
If they go that route..... they can keep it

This is why you're ignored. why do I keep clicking that damn button

I don't know if anyone cares but the armor of the spartans definitely points to this being a direct continuation of the first Halo Wars. It was assumed previously that the ship was overrun by flood, but it appears some other activity took place beforehand.
 
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.
Sounds like you want something more in the action/RTS realm. While I enjoy an RTS, at some point, it gets a bit boring for me. It's why I really enjoyed Brutal Legend's action/RTS mechanics. You could interact with all the troops in your army somehow, and even do some cool hacking and slashing or special attacks/buffs/debuffs. In my head, I like to think there could be a "hive mind" control mechanic in a isometric view RTS that allows a bit of twin stick shooter action. You'd be able to control entire units at once, combining their attacks into a big marauding party of death and destruction. The best players would find the right balance of spreading troops around a map, and then controlling certain units at a time when needed.
 
Looks pretty good. Just not sure I can find the time to play this one anytime soon.
 
I didn't like the first one at all so I'll wait and see for this one.
 

Oh wow! I can't wait to get my hands on a great deck. Some guys get deck envy, but I think we should all learn to work with the deck we're given. Most guys would lie about comparing their decks, or even admit to peaking at other's decks if they're given the chance.
 
That's it. Buying the Ultimate Edition. Twice the Halo Wars for just $4 more than a regular $60 game thanks to Amazon.
 
Glad to see this game getting all these great scores. I have been overwhelmed with my backlog. MS putting out Recore, Forza Horizon 3, Dead Rising 4, Gears of War 4, Halo Wars 2 all in these past 6 months adds up.

I will have to get this one down the road.
