Finished Halo Wars 2. It was a solid but unspectacular game. Shared many of the flaws the original did. It does have great skirmish options and cool multiplayer but the campaign was very meh. Story was not all that exciting. Atriox was a bad ass enemy but you only see him in a cut scene wiping out a room of Spartans. You don't even fight him in the campaign. AI in the game is really bad, like the first one. You can have an entire battalion of units just sit and get wiped out because they don't fire back at an enemy very close to them. I had to restart a couple of campaign missions because I lost vital units that way. RTS games are all about babysitting units sometimes but it gets ridiculous in this game, especially later when the Banished start using Jackals.
I would rate the games in this order:
Halo 4
Halo Reach
Halo CE
Halo 2
Halo 3
Halo Guardians
Halo ODST
Halo Wars
Halo Wars 2
Halo 4 was so fucking good. Really bizarre that the same developer went on to make Guardians. The narrative is so crazy in Guardians, I really hope they rebound with Infinite.
Does anyone know if the DLC for HW2 expands the story much?
