with Halo Wars 2

I had more fun playing Halo Wars than Halo Reach or Halo 4

and halo wars definitive edition

>halo wars
>fps

>Enemy sends out their fully speccd Prophet
>I just pummel his shit with Macs

lmao

???

HAAH

>Would love to play Halo Wars 2 and definitive edition
>Don't want to buy a fucking Xbone/W10 pc

The Spartans looked so fucking awesome in this game.

I remember this game having nice looking cutscenes and a generally solid aesthetic all over. The flood showing up in the campaign was great.

What commanders were good? I only ever played Cutter because ODSTs and the MAC gun were so cool.

Grizzlies and carpet bombing with Forge were the best.
Also Gauss warthog spam with Anders

>max out army
>all suicide grunts

I remember that tanks were generally the way to go but infantry blobs are more pleasing to look at.

They were strong as fuck too. Hijacking was amazing.

WAAW

>tfw you will be able to play both Halo Wars on PC.

I don't even care that it's on W10.

Classic helmet and it was before 343 made everything overly detailed with useless shit tacked onto their armor. They actually seemed like they were in a proper military.

Same. It's all I wanted aside from MCC.

Is it wrong that the card based system gets me hyped. Im a sucker for those and Im excited to play yu gi oh in a fuckign rts.

Is this actually in a Halo game? I think I'm about to throw up.

I thought that was from Warframe at first

Great game

>start forge

>If they hold out, get canister shell & grizzlies

Easy

>never played halo
>get halo 1
>finish it
>wow that was actually really good

are 2 and 3 any good as well? I thought it was really good, only downside being some levels were too fucking long/repetive and im interested to see how the story continues

Been replaying this via co-op with the only other person I know who likes it. We just got to the Flood levels. Shit's infuriating, but so fun.

I actually like this armor, but it does NOT belong in Halo.

Halo 2 and 3 are good. Reach is good too, but a bit weird because it was partially a Destiny prototype. Don't bother with Halo 4 or 5, but if you must, rent them.

>some levels were too fucking long/repetitive

This problem just gets fucking worse as the games go on, but the high points are even better to make up for it.

I actually like Vale but her armor is shit.

2 and 3 are really all you need

go for it

>tfw poofag

i bet i put hundreds of hours into the demo

thanks, will definitely pick up 2 and 3

>Tfw halo wars 2 beta was shit
I seriously hope they ditch that objective based shit where it's literally impossible to catch up once the enemy has a good lead.
I loved halo wars for strategizing and wiping out all enemy bases.

2>1>3 IMO.

As others have said, go for it.

>that one map with the corridor that goes straight down the middle but has forerunner placements on the sides

>you can get a shield or defense drone from the forerunner placements
>some faggot builds a bunch of defense drones and sends them to fuck my shit within 2 minutes of the game

fuck that game was fun

>Every game in the original trilogy has one obscenely long Flood-focused level.

Halo 1: Library
Halo 2: Quarantine Zone
Halo 3: Cortana

And every one of them is fucking ridiculous on Legendary.

Also if you have a couple friends, definitely grab ODST. Apparently good solo too, but I found that GOAT as co-op, and it has some wave-mode option too.

>the map where you can release flood on the other guy's base

>start
>build an elephant and supply pads
>get a second elephant and build a baracks
>send elephants to enemy base while upgrading both elephants and infantry
>deploy elephants outside their base so turrets shoot it while spawning in infantry
>Win because unless they already had troops deployed they can't out produce me to save their base

>this was the final nail in Ensemble Studio's coffin

What do you think those 2 spikes do?
What happens when they get broken off?

Does Halo Wars have any kind of player base still?

got way too high of a rank with gauss hog rush strats

what a fun game, something about the animations of the vehicles was just so satisfying

JUST WEW MY SHIT UP LAD

>build warthog army
>send them to ram something
>they all rush in one-by-one, ram the entity, and back out really quick

they also perfected the projectiles and explosions. it wasn't an FPS but the same attention to detail kinda reminded me of an FPS

>mfw Wars 2 beta

explain why this picture is remarkable.

I replay halo games for those flood levels

Reminder that Halo wars was the Ensembles last game ever and its mediocre response by Fans is the reason Microsoft killed them

Please respond

Ensemble was planned to be killed long before the game was released, Microsoft wanted to divert resources into project natal at the time.

>build elephant
>Park it somewhere near the enemy base
>build over 9000 marines
>send them in to enemy base
>guy resigns because the marines just keep coming and he can't get a scout away to find the elephant

>93 minute game

2 is good
Only halo 3 baby's like halo 3. The campaign is a let down and requires reading the books to fill it's massive plotholes. The multiplayer gave the series a shitty slow reputation(don't get me started on its weapon balance and ranking system) .halo 3 Odst was miles better story wise. Had the best firefight
Reach campaign is salvageable but will confuse you if you're a book fag. Best armor customization but was ruined with the retarded grinding .The multiplayer was a interesting concept but is a hit or miss depending on who you ask
Halo 4 is poop with the few redeeming factors is
>better gun sounds
>lasky is a pretty good character
>campaign is better then 5 but that isn't saying much
>milf cortana is best cortana
>chief is allowed to show emotions again after the halo 3 neutering
But beyond that it's shit
Halo 5 campaign is somehow shittier then halo 3 and 4 put together . The design of the missions are pretty good and feel like they were made with spartan abilities in mind . But every thing else is just shit except for the awesomeness that is witness (though the squad pseudo Republic commando thing is a cool idea I hope they keep). Multiplayer is the best we've had in awhile and feels like they finally nailed the concept for reach abilities . Forge is also the best we've had . Too bad that it took them so long to bring in all the content

COVENANT MEGA TURRET!

Does anyone know if there is a way around having to upgrade to win10? Is there a way to emulate w10 just to play the game or what? I need to resist for this game...

>emulate a Windows operating system

Kek. Good joke m8. Just upgrade, it's really not that bad.

vmware / virtual box

EXCELLENT CHOICE

Appreciate the replies.

Have fun trying to emulate the bloated mess that is a Windows OS, and then run a game on top of that.

Is there any RTS game with this many fun options and not devolved into perfect strategies everyone adopted?
