Halo Wars is back, anyone else surprised? Think Creative Assembly can pull an Alien Isolation comeback for the Halo Wars?
I'm not sure what happened to the original game. The end product seemed a shadow of what they had wanted to make, & I heard Bungie gave them grief throughout for touching their IP. I thought it had some major story problems & the gameplay was too simplistic. But, I still thought it was fun & I think Halo is a great setting for this game type. If they're sticking close to Halo 4 & 5, CA will have plenty of factions & enemy types to work with. It will be pretty cool to step away from the Chief & Cortana. And if Halo Wars can come back maybe there is hope for ODST yet?
I loved Halo Wars, but I always disliked how simple it was.
But Halo Wars 2 is on both PC and Xbone, and the xbox one is getting keyboard support, so I think its safe to assume the game will be built around a mouse and keyboard and not a controller (it may even require a keyboard/mouse, which im all for). These are good signs.
Also, this game is following the events of the first halo wars, you can even see red team in the trailer
