The original Halo Wars is still remembered fondly as one of the few examples of a true strategy game working on a console, so the spotlight is now on renowned RTS developer Creative Assembly to build on top of that foundation with the sequel.
Halo Wars 2 promises to offer more strategy thrills for console fans, and at the same time deliver a compelling Halo narrative, which exists outside the mainline series.
Bengt is ready to take the game through its paces on today's Gamereactor Live, so this is your chance to get a good long look at the game before it releases next week.
