It's a shame, as this is an exciting series with plenty of lore to back it.

Right now, the future isn't so bright, sadly. Perhaps at some point this is a franchise we'll hear from again. From downright bad writing, to the inclusion of pay to win microtransactions in a premium game, there are some absolutely perplexing decisions." There's little doubting that the action is solid and it looks fantastic, but other strange choices mar what would be a great title. "Halo Wars 2 is an ideal strategy game for beginners. We previously reviewed Halo Wars 2 when it debuted, and we awarded it a 7.5, praising its strong core gameplay and outstanding visuals. If you were hoping to see something in the near future from Halo Wars, you might be better served just going back and playing the old games, unfortunately. Unfortunately, it looks like this is probably the final word on the matter for the time being. But, we're specifically never going to say never because, well, who knows what the future may bring." Yes, we did use the word "currently" because it's the truth – as of today, there is no plan for the development team to re-engage with Halo Wars 2 and we aren't working on a new game in the series at this time. Of course, Halo is not ending any time soon, and if you have finished the main story in the campaign, you know a new threat has been alluded to called The Endless. We will, however, continue to monitor the game and ensure everything is working as expected. It's not always easy to be open and transparent – particularly when we expect it's not an answer the community wants to hear – but we want to give it to you straight: 343 Industries has no current plans for further Halo Wars 2 work including content updates, balance patches, bringing the title to other platforms, or a new game in the series. Now, with all the titles on PC, we've seen these questions popping up again although the 343 Publishing Team is still working on more MCC seasonal content along with a variety of features and further improvements. In the past, we've noted the Publishing Team was fully focused on MCC and we had no current plans to return to Halo Wars 2.
#Any plans for a new halo game mod#
We want to acknowledge that we've heard you and make sure you know that this feedback and these topics do indeed get brought to the right folks across the studio for further evaluation. The makers of ElDewrito, the mod that hoped to bring Halo Online multiplayer to PC, have been informed that Microsoft is taking actions to shut down the project. Halo 5: Guardians will arrive on the Xbox One this fall."We always strive to be open, honest, and transparent with our community and we know many of you have been waiting, asking, and hoping for news about the future of Halo Wars 2. More will be revealed regarding the maps when voting begins. Starting tomorrow, January 6, players will be able to vote for one of two Forge maps up for consideration, “Pegasus” and “Orion”. On the topic of the beta, Holmes told IGN that players will soon be able to choose which map gets added to the beta next. Who’s to say that they won’t change their mind and offer fans another, more extensive preview session with the game? It’s not outside the realm of possibility. It’s worth noting, before you guys get all teary-eyed under your Spartan helmets, that 343 “currently” has no plan for another beta. “For now we are wholly focused on the current beta and looking forward to hearing feedback from participants," he said. Holmes then stated that 343 will have more to discuss about Halo 5’s multiplayer, including “larger, more vehicle-focused experiences”, in the months to come. “The Arena experience showcases the core Spartan abilities and mechanics that provide a foundation for other modes throughout the game.” "We currently have no plans for a second multiplayer beta," Holmes said, speaking with IGN. According to studio head Josh Holmes, the beta currently taking Halo fans by storm with its shooting, sprinting and ground-pounding will be the only time players will be able to play the game before launch day on the other end of 2015. Given the Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer beta’s emphasis on close-quarters arena shootouts, people were hopeful that that meant that there would be at least one more beta that would give them a peek at the upcoming Xbox One exclusive’s take on vehicular combat and larger-scale battles.īut, according to 343 Industries, that won’t be the case.
