Re: I'd buy a Halo Wars II.

In Response To: I'd buy a Halo Wars II. (Leviathan) : When Halo Wars was first announced, I was excited. As time went on, the fact : that it was the first Halo game without Bungie involved really started to : scare me. I worried about the tone, the style (still displeased about : UNSC=green, Covenant=pink colorization), and if it would stay canon. : And when it did come out, I think a lot of people here judged it with the : same criteria that they would a standard Halo game. Because I did that : too. :) : I ended up buying it when it was reduced in price, and while I didn't love it : like a Bungie Halo, it was a solid game and I still enjoy a single-player : skirmish now and then. I find it very relaxing for some reason. : While it fudged a few boundaries of the canon, it found a way to remain : within it. The characters were simple, but the cinematics were beautiful. : The designs for the new vehicles were pretty sweet and felt UNSC-y. So : much that I was actually hoping to see some of them implemented into : Reach, perhaps just in the background. : Looking back, I now view it as an entry in the Expanded Universe, and : compared to the rest to the EU, I think it's a very solid and fun entry. : I'd like to see a Halo Wars II continue the story of Spirit of Fire and do : an even better job at the tone, style, canonicity, characters, and of : course, gameplay. : So even if you think the first is flawed, wouldn't you be open to a sequel : that appeared to be improving on all fronts? I think the core idea, a Halo : RTS, is still a very cool thing. I'd but a Halo Wars 2 also, probably, but I think they need to make some changes to it. The RTS works fine, but there should be less emphasis on base building and more on squad-level tactics, and in addition you should be able to go into the viewpoint of the various units and have it play like a Halo FPS version of those units. The Spartans would play just like the Master Chief, for example. Have the game zoom in and out between RTS squad game and FPS perspective on the fly.
