Halo Wars 2's story pacing was terrible.
It was obvious in the way it held the players hand all through the campaign, then once things started getting interesting, it came to an adbrupt end.
There just wasn't enough variety.
Plus the Characters themselves looked and sounded different from the Original Halo Wars, after you have sunk a few hundred hours into the first game it never felt right to have Cutter look and sound so different. Haha
The Multiplayer population is also dead in Oceania, so outside of the first couple of days after release I wasn't able to get a Multiplayer match, so that is a big mark against it. (But also not entirely Microsoft's fault.)
Plus the only real interesting inclusion in the Multiplayer was Blitz mode which only had one entire map on release (Not sure if they have added more, haven't cared to keep up with that games patches or DLC) not exactly going to hold my attention for long.
Microsoft really should not have closed down Ensemble Studio's, they were one of the best RTS developers of all time. And with Age of Empires 2 HD bringing that franchise back to life. Well. Big mistake in my honest opinion.
