Forum:Halo Wars 2: There are those who said this day would never come

"What are they to say, now?"

That day has at last arrived, my faithful. Yea, though it has been a long and arduous path we have walked, soon we will all be rewarded. One final effort is all that remains!

Halo Wars 2 has been announced. The Great Journey is at hand.

I love Halo Wars. I don't think it's the BEST strategy game, but it did something different with Halo in a new genre, it introduced a time period and characters we hadn't seen, and it finally felt like we were fighting a war on an interstellar scale as we hopped from Harvest to Arcadia to the Shield World.

I'm so hyped for Halo Wars 2. Especially the fact that it will apparently be available for Windows 10 - as much as I think Halo Wars did its best to optimise itself for the consoles, I still thought it could be cumbersome at times. I understand now that you can connect your PC to your Xbox One and control the game through that, too. So, hopefully that means a more complex, more innovative game, with more units and bigger battlefields!

Most of all, I'm excited to see what becomes of the crew of the Spirit of Fire - I'd especially love to see the Spartans take the fore as significant, and interesting, characters, since we don't have Forge anymore as the eyepiece character through which we lead our units in campaign. I'd also love to have some playable Covenant missions - take control of a Brute Chieftain as he storms the Spirit of Fire, or even an Elite force coming to the aid of their human allies, and finding they don't know the war is over.

What about you guys? What would you like to see? Who are you looking forward to meeting again? --  Qura 'Morhek   The Autocrat     of Morheka   22:29, 4 August 2015 (EDT)
