Viper Skills: *There are NO spoilers in this post*
It has been said many times that the ending of Halo Wars sets us up (the gamer) nicely for a sequal. Well, I personaly find this to be true and un-true but only time will tell what happens with this game.
After doing some thinking about what Halo Wars 2 could have in store for us in terms of new content, I thought of something that seems highly logical. Apart from perhaps a map editor, and an increased population cap, new units, etc. I believe space battles are an obvious choice for an addition in Halo Wars 2.
You know how in Halo Wars, how the Covenant have leaders and the UNSC has economic and unit bonuses? Well, it would fit perfectly in the storyline if this was the opposite case in Halo Wars 2. Allow me to elaborate...
Many Halo Wars fans have read the Halo books. This makes sense because some of us are interested in the storyline. That said, those of us who have read the books know that the Covenant have a distinct advantage in space combat with numbers and better technology.
Well, what if the UNSC has leaders to choose from such as Captain Keyes? Admiral Cole? Commander Keyes? Each has their own leader power of some sort. Admiral Cole could have a MAC volley or something, I don't know.
That's just a theory that seems to fit with the storyline pretty well. And once again, it's a theory. I don't even know if there will be a Halo Wars 2.
*Edit*
Another idea came to me. Instead (or in addition to) leader powers, they could have certain ships they use. Admiral Cole has the Leviathan, Captain Keyes could have the Pillar of Autumn (spelling?) and of course, Commander Keyes has the Forward unto Dawn (I think that's the name...) Hell, the Spirit of Fire could make a nice return with the great Captain Cutter.
Also, I am NOT saying that Halo Wars 2 should be just space battles. Star Wars: Empire at War had both space and land battles.
Halo Wars: The Chronicles of Master Chief...
Errhhm just a theory
Dont tempt me
p.s wolver is the best fan fic writer...ever
