I thought this was going to be First Person. Turned out to be helicopter view and like Gauntlet or Diablo. It was not as good as we assumed, but that does not mean you will not have fun. Everyone's taste is different. The score is good, and the story is okay.

While I like that they took a risk with the sequel, the best mode in the game (blitz) is essentially pay to win. That is very unfortunate and any new players have an extremely hard time with it.

everything about the sequel is wrong. The first game was innovative and had a storyline that captivated its audience. The sequel while giving us much better visuals seems trite and poorly designed.

It's great that this comes with the season pass, because the story doesn't seem finished by the end of the game. Slightly disappointed that.

I bought this for my son and he says it's ok. He loves the Halo series. He has all the games, but he doesn't care too much for this one. He said the first one was better.

Very similar to the Halo Wars from 2009. Replay value lacks a bit once you achieve everything but it can be fun depending on who you're playing with on multi.

I'll be the first to admit that I pre-ordered this game SOLELY on the basis of two things: it was a "Halo" title and the cinematic previews were awesome. HOWEVER, the actual product is nothing like any Halo game before it. In fact, it is little more than a bug-laden (freezeups, hangs, etc...), poor excuse for a dismal board game (yes, this is nothing more than a BOARD GAME!) with game play graphics barely suitable for a 1980's era console despite having gorgeous, top quality cinematic cut scenes sprinkled throughout. In my opinion, these cut scenes flagrantly misrepresent the quality of the game and gameplay because beyond the storyline and characters, they look nothing remotely close to the portions of the game you actually play. I equate this to watching an HD Resident Evil movie and then being told to play a game based on the story by drawing stick figures on a sheet of paper - saying that's a HUGE disappointment is a phenomenal understatement!
If you are an avid board game player, perhaps this game might hold some interest for you.....assuming you've been under a rock for the last 30 years.
Bottom line: I literally gave up on this game 30 minutes after installing it - just could not stand the frustration of it any longer.

This game amounts to building up the max troops and sending everyone at once to the enemy objectives. Very easy and boring.
