"Awakening the Nightmare" will serve as a much bigger update, providing a campaign close in length to the base experience, and the awesome Firefight mode, which should prove itself to be a welcome addition to your co-op gameplay lineup.It's been over seven years since Ensemble's Halo Wars RTS emerged, yet you'd still struggle to find a better console-friendly take on the genre. Halo Wars 2 has enjoyed some truly admirable post-launch support, adding new campaign missions, tons of new leaders, and other updates and tweaks. The fact Firefight features infinitely increasing waves should result in some truly incredible battles for you and your co-op pals, and it'll be interesting to see how well the Xbox One handles all the carnage alongside the Xbox One X and higher-end PCs.
Albeit with the grace stripped out, and piles of Flood corpses thrown in.įirefight is all about expanding your defenses across the map, using your resources wisely, and working together with your co-op pals to survive as long as humanly possible. Running at 4K 60 FPS with HDR support in tow, Halo Wars 2's Firefight is almost like a video game Cirque Du Soleil performance, with spectacular colors, air-shredding light shows, and chaotic choreography. In no time at all, mountains of Flood swarmed my walls and turrets, infecting my buildings, and they even brought out a gigantic Flood monstrosity, which I'd certainly sooner expect to see in Gears of War rather than Halo. The first couple of waves weren't too hard, and Microsoft was keen to stress that the demonstration had been tuned towards the easy side for quick hands-on sessions at Gamescom, but even still, the difficulty ramped up fast. It's almost like a top-down Gears of War Horde battle, albeit with hundreds of units, rather than dozens. There are various types of walls and turrets you can build, and Microsoft has added various types of walls and traps to make it feel a little dynamic. In Firefight, similar to tower defense games, it warns you which directional paths the enemy will take on their assault towards your base. Luckily for my hands-on, I managed to get a taste of what to expect from The Flood. As noted, Firefight tasks you to defend a single point against waves and waves of all sorts of enemy types.
