Halo Wars 2
SCORE: 55
My heart jumps for joy that Family
Friendly Gaming purchased a copy of Halo Wars 2 on the Xbox One for this
review. The politically correct PR and Marketing people for Microsoft
failed Family Friendly Gaming completely. My guess is because we do not
have the same religious beliefs they do. Just a guess.
This RTS (real time strategy) video game is a very large installation.
It also follows the Halo universe. Halo Wars 2 is mostly online only.
There is an offline skirmish mode with eight maps to play. They can be
played in Domination, Strongholds, and Deathmatch. Games is Halo Wars 2
can go a long time. Especially as we gather resources, research better
troops, make troops and deploy them. Battles can wage for a while until
one side gets the upper hand.
The match making in Halo Wars 2 is horrible. My first match they put me
up against a level 45. I was level 1. How exactly is that fair or
balanced? Players can not get any experience from beating the AI. You
are forced to play others online. Which requires an Xbox Live Gold
membership. So pay even more after paying for this game.
Halo Wars 2 can be hard depending on the amount of resources you start
with. The more I started with the better I did against the AI. The less
I had the worse I did. In fact Halo Wars 2 can be a challenging game if
you do not know what you are doing. Go through the tutorial to learn how
to build things up.
There are a few options in Halo Wars 2 like turning off the fog of war.
Loading times are long. The sections of Halo Wars 2 are Campaign,
Multiplayer, Blitz, Tutorial, Skirmish, and Store. Campaign and Blitz
are both online. I value Halo Wars 2 at five dollars brand new.
