Destiny 2 vs Halo Wars
Destiny 2
Destiny 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the impressive action shooter series that takes you on an epic journey across the solar system, Destiny. The Red Legion, under the leadership of Ghaul, has finally destroyed humanity's last safe city, scattering the remnants of the human race in the wind as they hope to find refuge elsewhere. However, the will of the people has not been broken just yet. You will need to reunite whatever Guardians you can find and pit everything in for a last-ditch effort to take down Ghaul and possibly resecure a home for humans to once again live in.Similar to the original game, Destiny places a lot of emphasis on multiplayer cooperative and competitive gameplay, allowing players to get together and carry out challenging Raids or fight against each other in a 4-vs-4 setting with five different PvP modes to choose from. There are also new adventure missions that will let you discover Lost Sectors as well as public events that you can dive into with other Guardians via the game's new Guided Games (player/group-finding) system. The customization aspect is as in-depth as ever, providing you with a whole new array of weapons, armor and accessories to equip as well.
I'd say the most noticeable difference between Destiny 2 and the original, aside from the new game modes, is the focus on providing players with a rich and cinematic story campaign that will leave players hungering for more. Honestly, if you own a console and is a fan of action-shooters, you'll want to get this game as well as the first. It is as great as they come.
Halo Wars
Halo Wars is the MMORTS spin-off that was inspired by the popular sci0fi shooter franchise, Halo. However, unlike a shooter, this time around you can choose to side with either the Covenant or the UNSC as they raise armies and battle each other on the battlefield. The game feels a lot like any other great MMORTS games, like Starcraft, but although the game supports keyboard controls, you might still want to plug in a controller because... well Halo is an XBox-exclusive series and as you might expect, its spin-offs are pretty much the same thing.The best part though is its multiplayer aspect. You can choose to play cooperatively with friends against a super strong AI in the campaign or you can go online and engage in intense, action-packed warfare with other players from all over the world through the versus game mode. However, a quick note though, waiting for its random matchmaking to find an opponent will take quite some time. So, if possible, go and meet your fellow players and add a couple of them as friends. At least when you want to play a game, you won't have to wait too long for one.
