Halo Wars 2 is a real-time strategy video game developed by 343 Industries and Creative Assembly, published by Microsoft Studios, and released in February 2017 for Windows and Xbox One. Set in the science fiction universe of the Halo franchise in 2559, the game follows the crew of the United Nations Space Command (UNSC) ship Spirit of Fire as they arrive at the Ark, a Forerunner installation responsible for constructing Halo rings. The story revolves around the conflict between the UNSC forces and the alien faction known as the Banished, led by the Brute warlord Atriox. In Halo Wars 2, players construct a base of operations, accumulate resources to produce infantry and vehicle units, and command their armies from a bird's-eye view of the battlefield. The game features a 'rock–paper–scissors' counter-attack system, where ground vehicles are effective against infantry, infantry against aircraft, and aircraft against ground vehicles. Each unit has special abilities, and players can build additional bases and expand their army as they progress. The game includes a campaign mode with 12 missions, optional side objectives, and animated cutscenes. Multiplayer modes support online play with various game types, including Skirmish, Deathmatch, Stronghold, Domination, and Blitz, which combines RTS gameplay with a card-and-deck mechanic. Halo Wars 2 received positive feedback from critics for its engaging gameplay mechanics, varied mission experiences, and the innovative Blitz mode. The game's Complete Edition includes additional content such as the Awakening the Nightmare expansion and the Season Pass, which adds new leaders, units, and campaign missions. While specific review scores are not mentioned, the game is praised for its epic story, ultra-realistic cinematics, and the depth of its multiplayer modes. Halo Wars 2 remains a significant title in the Halo series, offering a unique blend of strategy and sci-fi action that appeals to both fans of the franchise and the RTS genre.
