Halo Wars 21

Halo Wars 2 is a bit of a different game from what Halo fans are used to, but despite this, it still features a host of engaging multiplayer modes. It’s an RTS title focused on speed, requiring you to constantly keep on your toes while playing against other players and the AI.

The base multiplayer of Halo Wars 2 has three modes that can be played with up to six players; Deathmatch, Strongholds, and Domination. Deathmatch is exactly what you’d expect it to be, making you destroy your opponent’s bases completely, while Domination tasks you and your team with controlling structures on the map in order to accrue points. Strongholds is where things really get hectic, giving all players unlimited resources to work with, and victory going to the team that controls the most Strongholds by the end of the match. Although there are only two army types to choose from, each one has three leaders that all have different strengths and abilities, allowing for a lot of variation.

Blitz mode is the exciting new addition to multiplayer, combining elements of an RTS with card collecting. Here you once again fight over control points, but the only way you can build units is with cards that you summon with Energy, which slowly builds for each player and can be collected across the map.

Each mode in Halo Wars 2 feels varied, and can be played with friends, random players, and the AI. It’s a robust multiplayer package for any fan of Halo or the RTS genre.
