    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.

    Spartan15: I don't quite agree with that statement above. I personally think that some games are best left alone and this seems to be one of them. The more they keep trying to add to the Halo Story, the worse things are going to get when it comes to selling the game. There isn't really anything you could add to Halo Wars 2 that isn't already in this game or Halo 1, 2 and 3 besides adding space battles but i couldn't see that happening.

    Viper Skills: 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.

    Spartan15:  I don't think they will have Space Battles if they choose to make a sequal. It was said last year that MS had no plans on including Space Battles for Halo Wars and they didn't even mention creating a sequal to Halo Wars. Even though Halo is excellent and very popular i think it should be left alone now.

    Viper Skills: 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...

    Spartan15: I'm just interested to know how you could upgrade having unit and economic bonuses if they are already in Halo Wars 1? If they did decide to create a sequal, i would imagine that everything would have to be upgraded but i can't see how they would get upgraded?

    Viper Skills: 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.

    Spartan15: Well you have to remember that not all the Halo Fans have read the actual storyline from the books. But yes, every halo fan does know about the Covenant's disadvantage. However their ships are a lot better than the UNSC ships.

     

    Viper Skills: 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.

     

     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.

    Spartan15: Yes but i think it would make the game extremely confusing if you entailed both in there. Why not focus on just one form of battling?

    I stand proud and dominant in the heat of a battle.
