HALO WARS 2 XBOX ONE XONE

Halo Wars 2 is a real-time strategy game based on the Halo universe and it is the sequel to Halo Wars 2009. Players use Spartans, Warthogs and other classic Halo units to fight the enemy. A single-player campaign and online multiplayer battles are available. The campaign consists of twelve missions and can also be played cooperatively. Typical mission objectives include surviving waves of enemies, defending structure, and capturing specific targets. There are also various secondary objectives. Many missions also involve leading Spartan super-soldier units.

The game is again based on two factions and is now set in the year 2559. On the one hand there is the human faction United Nations Space Command (UNSC) and on the other a new alien faction called the Banished, replacing the Covenant from the first game. Both factions have leader units with special abilities tied to a cooldown period. These abilities can heal in bulk or do a lot of damage in a short time. In multiplayer, there are several game modes for up to six online players or bots.
