Half Life 2 vs Halo Wars 2
Half Life 2
Half Life 2 is the exciting sequel to the original Half Life game and is also the inspiration for a new Half-Life-based spin-off series. The game took the suspense, the challenge and the momentum of the first game and added in a much improved and realistic graphics and responsiveness that removes a lot of the clunkiness that old games often experience.The story also continues where it was left off before, with the crowbar-wielding scientist Gordon Freeman who now finds himself in an Earth that is not only infested with aliens but is also slowly decimated by them. He now needs to make amends for the incident back in Black Mesa and at least save the people that he cares about.
Half Life 2 is a great sequel, but it is unfortunately the last... at least for the Half Life series. On the bright side, you can somewhat continue the storyline through the spin-off games Half Life 2: Episode 1 and 2.
Halo Wars 2
Halo Wars 2 is the exciting sequel to Halo Wars (obviously) that's set after the events of Halo 5. Featuring a single player/co-op campaign that sends you on a mission to the legendary Ark, players will need to command their armies in epic large-scale battles against a powerful enemy. The game also has a multiplayer aspect as well, allowing you to test your mettle against other players (1 to 3 players per team).The latest addition in this game though is its Blitz option. It's a game mode that combines the deck-building of collectible cards with real-time strategy. So in other words, you'll be battling other players or waves of enemies with a deck (your army) you built.
Halo Wars 2 is definitely the game to get if you've enjoyed the original game or any classic RTS games like Starcraft. The only bummer is that the game is Xbox-exclusive, so players on the PC or other consoles will not be able to experience this game.
