Early on in
Halo Wars 2, I kept getting the feeling that I had lived this all before in an almost dream -
like way.
Games
like Rise of the Tomb Raider, Forza Motorsport 6,
Halo 5: Guardians, Gears of
War Ultimate Edition are not only great quality titles but also have an incredible skill when it comes to generate hype in gamers and Xbox fans.
While Jarrard's comments don't rule out
Halo 3 Anniversary or a PC version coming at some point in the future, it appears that 343 Industries is preoccupied with development of

Very well expressed yes I do agree the series is getting to be a bit boring and old in reality all games are I gaming after a ling day at work but there's no real good games out that catch my eye I have been a gears of
war fan since the beginning of time but even that game I don't feel it's worthy of the tine I invested in part 1 just my opinion people I would really want to see a game that would change gaming
like halo did, gow1, cod4 these titles made way for new exciting gameplay but now I find myself enjoying Mario more then any other game I don't know maybe it's time for a change I always wanted to try world of Warcraft maybe I will atleast that would be a new experience
Shove it up your ass mate, I actually
liked Halo 3, I actually
liked the production values of Heavenly Sword, I look forward to seeing what an immersive experience
like Killzone 2 could provide, or what an interactive Star
Wars game
like Mass Effect can give us.
and the last thing is a nightmare for everyone who just wants to ignore those achievements... you said that people who don't
like them should just ignore them... well play e.g Gears of
War 3 or
Halo Reach..
the og xbox was awesome and had about 10 decent exclusives each year, the 360 started pretty strong but
like others have said the last 3 years there was hardly anything other than
halo reach, forza horizon and gears of
war 3.
Judgment is
like what ODST was to
Halo... But anyway can't wait to see some Gears of
War on Xbox One!
The 360 and Microsoft in general also drew in larger crowds of consumers than Sony, for example, with its superior online experience and much coveted exclusives
like Gears of
War and
Halo.
And if we're being really honest, you buy a Gears of
War game for the Gears of
War style action: if it radically changed, then it wouldn't be Gears of
War any more, just
like Halo wouldn't be
Halo and Call of Duty wouldn't be Call of Duty.
But due to the fact that they have been hyping it to oblivion (
like halo 5's campaign) before it came out and ended up being controversial because they didn't deliver... just
like the order 1886... but you don't see people going around spreading excuses saying that people hate it because it's on ps4... they just weren't so good games... simple as that... If you want a console
war take a ps4 and an Xbox one and start smacking them with one another and the one that works after that is the winner....
every n4g sony fanboy is now a game developer LOL last of us wasn't THAT good looking, it still comparable to games
like halo, gears of
war and uncharted, i think people need to realise (especially sony fangirls) how games can pull these graphics off, low player counts, not much happening on screen and just areas that look big but have very small playing areas, or streaming parts of areas at a time, now if you look at the last of us multiplayer & uncharted 3 mutliplayer, it looks crap compared to the story.
but my PS4 is for xmas sale... the xbox just suites my gaming needs better... you guys keep talking bout sony exclusives
like their the best ever an both systems had about 3 - 4 great exclusives each... xbox has
halo, gears, forza, L4D, sony has uncharted, god of
war, LOU, LBP... lets be honest with ourselves... resistance an killzone both SUCKS infamous is just OK... an the sales PROVE it..

Releasing on two platforms simultaneously, building two tailored control schemes, and with two groups of players to appease — each with wildly different expectations —
Halo Wars 2 seems
like an almost impossible task.
To be clear,
Halo Wars 2 doesn't have the complexity of, say, something
like a Total
War, or even Command & Conquer.
But with Microsoft's commitment to the Play Anywhere premise — of its games launching and linking up across PC and Xbox One seamlessly —
Halo Wars 2 feels
like a good starting point for bringing the Chief's universe back to desktops, and in a way that could succeed where other experiments
like twin - stick disappointments Spartan Assault and Spartan Strike have previously failed.
