I learned as I went, and the tutorial points were inserted at the right points, like when I had to use my Spartan to leap up a cliff or steal an enemy tank. I jumped into battle knowing just a few of the commands. “We want you to feel compelled to protect and care for and have some compassion for the units you deploy out there. “Our camera is probably slightly closer in as well, though, because we want you to feel more involved in the battle,” Nicholson said. The graphics are quite stunning, particularly when there’s a big firefight with lots of units engaged in melee at the same time. It helps that Halo Wars 2 looks beautiful. Then you come into contact with the Brutes, and you fight it out. You find various sources of energy as well as mysterious battlegrounds. The Ascension mission starts out with a small landing party that has to explore a map and set up a base.

The story will get you immersed into the single-player campaign. You have to develop your troops and your own leaders to take on Atriox’s forces.

The captain and his crew have to face off against the Banished, a faction led by a lethal warrior named Atriox. They are above an ancient Forerunner haven known as the Ark. In this case, the crew of the UNSC capital ship Spirit of Fire awake decades after they were declared lost. The team also worked hard on a story that fit well in the Halo universe. Getting the controls right for the Xbox One was only part of the battle. That takes a lot of brain cycles to remember, but it could be worth it for the time it saves in a pitched battle. You can add units to the D-pad directional controls and easily switch to them. But the developers added more shortcuts using the D-pad, which is customizable. If you hold the bumper down, you can select all of your units on the map. You could press the right bumper to select local units or those that are within your field of view. The original Halo Wars, which came out in 2009, had a good control scheme on a controller.

The question, Nicholson said, was how to make the game more accessible but also keep the depth that leads to long gameplay. “We wanted to get Halo fans interested in an RTS, and we wanted to expose RTS fans to the fantastic story behind Halo.” “We wanted to bring Halo back into the RTS space, and we wanted to make an RTS for everyone,” said David Nicholson, the executive producer for Halo Wars 2 at Creative Assembly, in an interview with GamesBeat.
