Halo Wars 2

yeah yeah, I know, Halofaggotry, but seriously, why does this game look like a total downgrade from the first one?

Is it just 343's retcons again?

I haven't seen anything of it's gameplay yet, got any screenshots or videos that show how bad it looks?
If it does look worse then it's probably because they want to be consistant. If the game is going to be a total downgrade from the first one in every other aspect then why not have it be a downgrade in graphics or artstyle as well.

...

The first one was created by the guys who did Age of Empires, this isn't.

The first one was a console RTS. how is that possible?

pretty much, also for a console RTS Halo Wars wasn't that bad of a game really

Can confirm.
It actually wasn't half bad.

That's like saying someone's pretty smart for a diagnosed retard.

What do you think 343's biggest problem was?

probably because it's a total downgrade from the first one.

Doesn't change the fact that they are smarter than any other retard in the mental ward. I cringed when they said they were bringing Halo wars 2 to PC despite loving the first one. It was good for a console RTS but as a pc RTS it was pretty terrible.

They don't like Halo, nor respect anything that was established by Bungie. They rather do SJW tier trash rather than deal with Halo or it's fans.

Meh this tbh. Anyway some of you may have heard about a mod project for Halo CE that retextures the whole game? Well it's finally fucking out after all these years.

CMT SPv3 isn't just a graphic overhaul, some of the maps have entire new areas, though SPv3 feels phoned in and the encounters are ass

Just join Halo Online faggots, the server is always empty fuck

I just watched the halo 5 cutscenes on youtube.

It turns out cortana was the badguys, the arbiter is now a feminist

and the tried to pull off a halo 2 style cliffhanger "please buy the sequel" as cherry on top. Halo 6 never ever.

Yeh I played through it, I liked it despite the ecnounters though.

Mite b cool, just gotta download it again

The first one wasn't that great to be honest. It wasn't bad but it still is nothing more than a already dumped down RTS for consoles. Also, isn't Creative Assembly co-developing the game?

Also want to add, lack of originality, take a look at their fucking name.

Windows 10 exclusive meant the game was doomed to be shit from the start

It's like you don't even come here.

Because 343 is run be retards

But that's not how sangeili society works you double nigger

343's "games" aren't halo-worthy, they are just nasty fanfictions.

Especially not against a game made by Ensemble fucking Studios.

powered by Unity

Every thread until you like it

To this fucking day I have no idea why microsoft allowed that, given that they made cortana their siri equivalent personal assistant / mascot.

Why would you want the villain to have access to all the shit on your windows 10 PC or microsoft phone shit?

Or is it just a metaphor for using microsoft software in general?

Rampant AIs were established as far back as Marathon

shit taste

Huffing sangheili ass until you pass out or worse is amazing smh tbqh fam

If it were female I might believe you.

Sure. It's perfectly well justified in-universe.

It's just that out of universe, the same character is used by the company who owns the IP as basically the face of windows 10.

It isn't normal to pick an evil person to manage everyone's personal data and calendar etc., but apparently at Microsoft it is.

Did they ever bring back the AI that went a little off and thought he was Wellington fighting against Napoleon, but still gave decent tactical feedback so they kept using him in the field?

reminder that Microsoft runs its evaluations as a zero-sum game, so the various divisions actively try to screw each other over. So it kind of fits, honestly.

Because its done by a less competent studio than the first, and nobody gives a shit about halo wars anyway so the fuckers don't feel like they have a name to live up to.

Also 343 makes better games than bungie, halo 5 is a better game than all of the halos barring reach. Halo 1 is shit, halo 2 is okay, halo 3 is made just as bad as halo 1 by the fact that it has 55 fov, and halo reach is the only halo game asside from 2 and 5 resembling anything decent.

Fuck you halo manbabies, get off this board and come back after you've played good games like stalker, quake, fear, original doom, maybe even try unreal or half life 1.

Methinks you are the baby here, underage

shit taste

Also fuck I forgot to sage thread.

Enjoy saging a thread about a shitty game series you like and having it fade away into obscurity like it deserves.

I am not the one who normally defends Halo 5, but the one thing I liked is how nearly everytime Vale speaks up about some bullshit, she is either ignored, or told to shut up. The Arbiter is in a civil war for the future survival of his race, and he has a few women in his army because they happen to be good at it, and Vale treats it as a victory for feminism. Nobody agrees with her. also, how the fuck do you "learn" the sangheili language, let alone in 6 months as a kid? you don't have mandibles you stupid bitchthough it did make the one fight where she starts saying "hold your fire, we're friendlies!" pretty funny, because literally nobody responds to it.

Wasn't that in The Flood? Or am I thinking of a different book?

Nothing Valve ever made was good

I'm still pissed about how HW1 looked in the original gameplay trailers wasn't anything like it was in the end.

Went from CnC style building bases, to all-in-one shit.

The real part of the series has already run its course anyway. According to Microsoft just before the release of Halo 4 in late 2012, Halo had sold more than 46 million games and brought in over $3 billion in revenue for them, but I'm sure whatever other stuff you're into will stand the test of time better than that :^)

Rip Halo, he was a pretty cool guy. Eh kills aleins and doesnt afraid of anything.

I pre-ordered the limited edition of Halo 4 and attended the midnight release, because after how much I enjoyed the entire rest of the franchise, I thought that it would be good. It was the first game I'd ever done either of those things for. I still haven't lived down the shame.

What in god's name compelled you to buy MCC? Are you retarded? Did Halo 4 not set off all your alarms?

...

Halo 4 raped the franchise. Reach was good and had got tier moments.

...

half-life: wander around repetitive environments for six hours with no story while dealing with aimbots

half-life 2: get stuck in cutscenes for 30% of the game and the rest of the time is mindlessly shooting things

counter-strike: a first-person shooter where your bullets don't go where you aim

team fortress 2: after 10 years of post-release patches it's still not balanced, turning into a meme game

dota 2: a luck-based game where your victory conditions depend on your team composition and how competent your team members are, making individual achievements worthless

and valve still makes billions because people like to pretend they have a standard of quality without learning about the depth of quality that video games can truly have

Ironically, Halo CE and 3 are currently the most broken parts of the MCC. 343 got fundamental parts of both ports wrong.
There's an entire website dedicated to how broken the MCC is, and if I didn't like Halo 2 so much I would've jumped ship a long time ago.

(you)

instead of posting a reaction image please explain why i'm wrong

As someone who actually played Halo Wars, I would agree.
The animation quality
The sounds
So many things make it look incredibly boring, and the original Halo Wars was already boring so that's saying a lot.

Also female ODSTs

Please post more lewd scalies

umm Hate to break it to you but number of copies sold is no indication of how well a game stood the test of time.

How many people are playing halo 2 right now? Oh right they shut the fucking server. Meanwhile there are still hundreds of people playing the doom and quake games both the single players and multiplayers.

Also Halo 5 genuinely does have a better multiplayer than pretty much all of the games in the series barring reach. Reach is the best one.

Everything except 2, Reacharound, and 5 is shit. Enjoy your 55 fov and shitty ass stories that serve as nothing more than promotional material for the boring ass books you piece of shit millenials.

Replying to a person once then replying to group of people which a person happens to be a part of once does not count as replying to the same individual twice.

Glad that got put to bed. Valve has never made a good game.

Its existence. Did they make anything worthwhile?


I still can't believe that they managed to make Halo 4 Cortana whose appearance was based on some pornstar IIRC.


Being console RTS alone makes it horrible trash, Windows 7 release wouldn't change it. Though I'd care more if it was CnC clone and that will never happen.


You forgot about Duke 3D, original Shadow Warrior, Blood and many other better FPS games, faggot. Otherwise, all Halo games are mediocre at best while 5 is the worst one. Seriously, explain how 5 is better than 3 because microtransactions alone make this piece of trash worse than Halo 3.

Explain how 5 is worse than 4, it doesn't get any worse than 4 and 5 showed some improvements over it.

Also halo 3 has 55 fov so enjoy your motion sickness fag. Not to mention its just objectively worse than 2 in a lot of other ways. Still nothing can be as bad as the first halo game or 4. I think that 1 and 4 are almost on par with eachohter in terms of the quality of their gameplay. 1 actually had an okay story going for it though, 4 didn't still I consider them to be about as bad.

MS just can't let go because it still makes money.

Besides what does the Xbox brand have besides Halo, really?

the only halo games that were ok … playable were Reach, ODST, and halo wars

Good taste, Never played wars, its probably shit considering its a console rts but yeah reach is by far the best halo game.

Most of the others all range from mediocre to absolute dogshit.
