Halo Wars vs Supreme Commander 2
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.
Supreme Commander 2
Supreme Commander 2 is the exciting sequel to the popular real-time strategy game franchise. In this game, players will get to create massive armies under the banner of one of the three different factions, namely The United Earth Federation (UEF), the Cybran Nation and the Illuminate. The game's campaign details the storyline of three commanders from different factions, letting you experience an engaging storyline behind each commander's reasons that drive them in this seemingly endless war. Players get to also customize every unit they recruit, including experimental units with hidden skills that can be unlocked via research. Best yet, everything feels faster than the previous game.Like the previous game, the multiplayer aspect of Supreme Commander 2 can be rather lacking unless you've got friends to play the game with. That said, this is still a pretty nice follow-up in the game series and is a must-buy for fans of the original.
