Halo 5: Guardians vs Halo Wars 2
Halo 5: Guardians
Halo 5: Guardians is the lastest installment in the award-winning Halo game franchise. Although this game has a pretty epic co-op (up to 4-player) campaign that has a pretty awesome storyline to enjoy, Halo 5 is ultimately a paradise for players who love Halo's multiplayer mode. There are plenty more multiplayer modes for you to play in, including the new, large-scaled Warzone which can be further separated into a 24-player Warzone Assault (PvP) and a 8-player Warzone Firefight (co-op). There is also the usual Arena Multiplayer mode that pits teams of 4 players against each other.But the most interesting part of its multiplayer aspect is the REQ system which awards REQ points to players engaging in multiplayer matches. These points can then be used to unlock new weapons, armor, vehicles, stances and more!
So, if you really like Halo's multiplayer games and would like to play more of it, this game is literally designed with multiplayer as its focus. You'll find the game modes and the REQ system more than enough to keep you returning to the game.
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.
