Isabel immediately makes an impact in the game, despite being an A.I., itвЂ™s clear that she has much stronger feelings than most of the human characters in the game. It makes for much better storytelling than the usual вЂњbuild a base, build 100 tanks and kill everything in sightвЂќ that IвЂ™m used to. The lone Warthog and its three crew members explore the lonely landscape around them, and when everything goes wrong, it is only the Warthog being controlled during the escape. It made Halo Wars much more intimate as a result, particularly in the mission that takes place in the narrative explained above, where only a single Warthog is playable. I have been so used to just playing war games in the past, that actually playing a narrative in an RTS felt like a foreign concept to me. The performance delivered for Isabel makes the game alone, her portrayal feels authentic and real, and lifts the rest of the cast on her own.ДЄll of this is told through impressive pre-rendered cut scenes, and also through the gameplay. Captain Cutter tells an inspiring military speech about not giving up, and so goes the narrative. Isabel then explains the situation: Atriox rose from Covenant rule, inspiring other Brutes like him to wage war against Covenants and Humans alike, becoming one of the most feared forces in the galaxy. The crew escapes back to the Spirit of Fire and make a hasty retreat.

After finding Isabel, an AI, they are confronted by Atriox, who easily takes out one of the Spartan soldiers as if they were nothing. Captain James Cutter decides to explore the signal coming from the Ark, soon discovering that the humans have long since been destroyed. The crew awaken and the Human-Covenant war has ended. The crew aboard the Spirit of Fire awake after a long cryosleep to discover a signal beacon. My complete beginnerвЂ™s approach was able to blitz through much of the game without the need to dig into deeper territory, though for more experienced strategists, there are plenty of controller shortcuts that have been built in to assist quick response times.Д«ut what is a good control scheme without a solid narrative to keep the player interested? Halo Wars 2 offers a campaign that services the Halo canon well, but also breaks no real ground. Creative Assembly and 343 Industries has done a remarkable job of incorporating a decent control scheme that is both accessible and deep.

Because of this, approaching Halo Wars 2 was always going to be an interesting return to RTS for myself, particularly because I was so used to using PC controls, I was especially intrigued to see how the game would handle with the Xbox One controller.ДЄfter tackling the tutorial levels, my intrigue quickly turned to joy.

It has been some time since I have played anything from the RTS genre, I had spent countless hours playing Warcraft, StarCraft and Command and Conquer during my high school years, yet as time went on and those series expanded (and plenty more entered the scene), my interest waned. As good as those games have been, Halo Wars proved that Bungie was also on to something with that RTS idea, and though Bungie is no longer in the picture, Halo Wars 2 attempts to build upon that foundation. Though Bungie originally wanted Halo to be a real time strategy, some could argue that Microsoft caught lightning in a bottle when the company convinced Bungie to shift the focus over and make a FPS instead.

Halo Wars was an experiment in expanding upon a universe entirely viewed in first person.
