An high value RTS that has some flaws
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'd rate Halo Wars 2 as a buy after the first price drop. It's got a great mix of content for RTS veterans and RTS newcomers alike. Storywise, Halo Wars 2 seems a bit too brief of a campaign, but the missions are extremely varied in a way that rivals Starcraft, and the cutscenes are some best looking cutscenes I've ever seen in gaming. Multiplayerwise, Halo Wars 2 really shines as you have a great mix of Online Co-Op, verses, and Firefight modes, coupled with offline Skirmish modes against AI. Blitz is a fun game mode for quick games, but the pay to win microtransactions in that mode are going to really prevent a lot of people from playing on an even footing. (I'd stick to blitz firefight in that regard, as it cuts the pay to win element out entirely) If you love Halo and RTS, defintely buy it at launch. If you aren't quite sold, wait until you can get the ultimate edition at a better price. 343 has a good track record of post-launch support off of Halo 5, (Free maps, tendency to listen to the community for post-launch features and updates) and as good as this game is at the moment, it will be a great addition to your game collection in 6 months when the post-launch DLC campaign, maps, and leaders arrive.

good but should focus on a new IP
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Xbox keeps buidling hype around those old games. Halo Wars is nice and all but ti has flaws and mainly geared towards tactical players, not shooting. I think instead of xbox keep giving up halo, forza, and gears they need to work on new exclusives or IPs like sony or revive some original xbox games like fuzion frenzy or blinx.
