Spoilers for all Halo works preceding this one, particularly Halo 5: Guardians, will be left unmarked. You Have Been Warned!Halo Wars 2 is a Real-Time Strategy game set in the Halo universe, developed by 343 Industries and Creative Assembly for the Xbox ONE and Windows 10. It is a sequel to 2009's Halo Wars.Set in 2559 (twenty-eight years after the original Halo Wars and about a year after Halo 5: Guardians), the story begins with the UNSC Spirit of Fire's crew finally waking up after being in cryo-sleep for nearly three decades, only to find themselves at an ancient Forerunner installation known as "The Ark" (the very same one that the second half of Halo 3 was set on). However, it turns out they aren't the only people there; a hostile Brute-led Covenant splinter faction called "The Banished" have already set up shop, and are seeking to use the Ark for their own nefarious purposes. Despite having completely missed the events of the last twenty-eight years, Captain James Cutter of the Spirit of Fire must now match his wits against Atriox, the Banished's terrifying powerful and brilliant leader.Like the original Halo Wars, the multiplayer allows the player to choose which side to take command of, with both factions (the UNSC and the Banished) each having multiple unique leaders who each provide their own special bonuses.The game was officially released on February 21, 2017, with those who bought the Ultimate Edition getting it on the 17th.A Downloadable Content campaign titled "Awakening the Nightmare" was released on September 26th, 2017. In it the player takes control of the Banished for a single-player campaign, specifically two Banished Brute brothers Pavium and Voridus, as they deal with a Flood infestation originating from the space station High Charity, which had crash-landed on the Ark.Previews: Announce Teaser, E3 Trailer, Launch Trailer. | |

Halo Wars 2 (Video Game) / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: John-117 or not, Spartans are always renowned for being the USNC's best soldiers, with Red Team easily took on a squad of Honor Guards. Right at the beginning of the game, Red Team is ambushed by Atriox and all three Spartans get their assess beaten, with Douglas-042 receiving critical injuries, to established how big of a threat Atriox and his army are. | |

Halo Wars 2 (Video Game) / int_1a8dc238 | comment |
Underestimating Badassery: Atriox, for all of his skill and genius, doesn't take a single half-spent human ship very seriously. The Spirit of Fire proceeds to run a guerilla war against him that kills one of his favorite generals, devastates a super-carrier, and delivers Atriox's first real defeats. Let's just say he really probably came to regret not killing the Spartans he encountered earlier. | |

Halo Wars 2 (Video Game) / int_246c9dc5 | comment |
Unknown Rival: The Banished, a breakaway rebel faction that even the Covenant deemed a threat, never came into the knowledge of the UNSC both before and during this game, which led both the Ark teams and Spirit of Fire being under-prepared to deal with them. Phoenix logs indicate that ONI was aware of The Banished, and Atriox in particular, prior to his appearance here, but didn't get a chance to confirm much of anything about him, and found him so overtly hostile to everyone, including humans, that they made zero attempts to capitalize on an Enemy Mine situation for fear of getting destroyed. | |

Ramming Always Works: The Warthog's special ability involves hitting the gas and running into (or over) something. How the Banished flagship Enduring Conviction is taken out of the picture, with an absolutely massive Zerg Rush of Aggressor Sentinels literally cutting the ship in half with suicide runs, thanks to Isabel invoking a Let's You and Him Fight situation. | |

One mission also sets up a Sentinel counter: the Spirit Of Fire using their MAC*Magnetic Accelerator Cannon to essentially fire blanks, generating an EMP pulse to drive off or destroy the Sentinels. | |

Zerg Rush: The Flood have this tactic as central to their gameplay, as their infection forms come in large unit sizes and can infect slain enemies and vehicles into units they control. Their introduction in Awakening the Nightmare is to swarm out of High Charity as a hundreds-strong swarm of infection forms, easily overrunning the Brutes outside the entrance. | |

Halo Wars 2 (Video Game) / int_485eb589 | comment |
Sealed Evil in a Can: High Charity is intact and is still completely infested with the Flood, though the Sentinels of the Ark have constructed a solid dome around the ruins to contain the infestation, and keep the surrounding landscape under heavy guard. Unfortunately, the Banished destroy most of the defenses in order to salvage loot from the debris field, and Voridus' greed leads him to cut open a tiny part of the shield in search of further treasures within the city itself. Within mere minutes, tens-of-thousands of Flood start pouring through the breach. | |

Tentacle Rope: Employed by a number of pure-forms during the initial outbreak to incapacitate Banished soldiers, binding their arms or dragging their feet out from under them so infection forms can latch onto their bodies unhindered. | |

Here We Go Again! | |
Halo Wars 2 (Video Game) / int_6edc54d5 | comment |
Here We Go Again!: A bleak and depressing example, as the Spirit of Fire finally gets somewhere only to immediately be thrust into conflict with Covenant races once again. The E3 trailer and accompanying song (I Know You by The White Buffalo) play up the tragedy element of the fight for all it's worth. The Ark itself and its usage in creating another Halo, presumably another copy of Installation-04, serves a heavy role similar to that in Halo 3 as both the main battleground between a human and a Covenant-divergent force as well as a potential refuge away from the possible firing of the Halo Array. In the Awakening the Nightmare expansion, the Flood re-emerge on the Ark. | |

My Greatest Failure | |
Halo Wars 2 (Video Game) / int_6ee10e0 | comment |
My Greatest Failure: Isabel is clearly haunted by her inability to do anything to stop Atriox from massacring her previous crew: she's nearly catatonic when found by Red Team, and panicked for several missions afterward. She summons these memories for additional, rage-driven strength when she's trying to destroy the Enduring Conviction. The memories of their screams nearly drive her to tears. | |

And the Adventure Continues: The game doesn't end with the Banished taking a decisive defeat, and the ending cutscene shows Atriox to still have substantial forces left to him. The Spirit of Fire is still left stranded above the Ark, and the new Halo Anders' is riding on is hijacked by a Guardian. | |

Remember the New Guy?: Atriox and the Banished have apparently existed for a while, long enough for the Covenant to be fighting both them and the UNSC at the same time, but have never been mentioned previously. Phoenix logs eventually establish that Atriox has zero love for anyone not Banished, and ONI (human spies) actively conspired to avoid provoking him during the Human-Covenant War. | |

Establishing Character Moment: Atriox is introduced by having him single-handedly defeat three Spartan-IIs at once (establishing his strength), saying that the one he defeated was "just a man", as he suspected, and then letting them flee so his forces can follow them to their base (establishing his cunning) while taunting them with a "run, little demons" (establishing his sadism). | |

At the end of the game, Anders leaves the Ark to find help only to be halted by a Guardian. | |

Continuity Nod | |
Halo Wars 2 (Video Game) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: The Brutes and their strength has been something of note since their first appearance all the way back in Halo: First Strike, where one surprised even the Master Chief himself by managing to overwhelm and nearly kill him. It comes as no surprise that Atriox, who's powerful even for a Brute, was able to deliver a curb-stomp to the ill-prepared Red Team. The scrap on the Ark that the Banished salvage is described by Isabel as coming from a battle near the end of the war where "the Master Chief saved us all", clearly nodding to Halo 3. Isabel was stationed at the Henry Lamb research outpost, which is explicitly named after a UNSC scientist from the novel Halo: Hunters in the Dark. Several of the Phoenix Logs are all but outright stated to be from the perspective of 000 Tragic Solitude, aka the Ark's Monitor and main antagonist of Hunters in the Dark, with several of the logs combining to serve as something of a prequel to said novel. Red Team is limited to driving around in a Warthog in the first mission, and close examination reveals that their armor is identical to what they wore in the first Halo Wars. After Jerome and Douglas return to the Spirit of Fire with Isabel, their armor is upgraded to the most modern Mjolnir spec, including jump jets and other advancements though Alice's upgraded armor remains a plot hole, since she was cut off and isolated for most of the campaign. | |

One-Man Army | |
Halo Wars 2 (Video Game) / int_9e943076 | comment |
One-Man Army: The members of Red Team, Spartans Jerome-092, Alice-130, and Douglas-042, are almost unstoppable on their own: Jerome and Douglas use powerful, single-shot weapons (Spartan Laser and Missile Launcher, respectively) while Alice carries a minigun, and they can destroy anything short of a Super Unit given enough time to do so. Anything they can't kill, they can hijack and turn against their enemies, and if the unit they've commandeered is destroyed, the Spartan survives to continue fighting on foot. It's not until halfway through the campaign that you get to control more than one in a mission, but until then, one is more than enough. The last two missions in the campaign let you control all three simultaneously for glorious carnage. Averted on higher difficulty levels, where they are quite a bit squishier, but still formidable. Alice even gets her own focus mission, "One Three Zero", based on her single-handedly evading the Banished and freeing some allies. The scouting report even points this out: Even a lone Spartan can be a formidable force. | |

A Commander Is You | |
Halo Wars 2 (Video Game) / int_c2c32a79 | comment |
A Commander Is You: Broadly, the UNSC are Elitist Brutes and the Banished are Spammer Guerilla/Technical, but individual commanders add to or change their faction's role: Captain Cutter: Unit Specialist: Infantry with unique ODST from his power wheel. Ranger with a passive movement speed bonus to his infantry. Gimmick via his heavy use of unit drop powers. Isabel: Unit Specialist: Vehicles with an emphasis on the Scorpion tank. Guerilla due to her holographic decoy powers and ability to hijack enemy vehicles. Professor Anders: Unit Specialist: Aircraft and especially Sentinels. Research with her R&D passive making unit improvements cheaper and faster to research. Atriox: Turtle with plentiful mines to defend strategic points, cheaper bases and Fortify research, and multiple healing and invulnerability powers to keep his army in the fight. Decimus: Brute, unusually, with his power wheel providing his whole army with Boring, but Practical passive bonuses to attack speed and Life Drain. Decimus wants to get his army buffed with passives then steamroll over the enemy with an unstoppable wave of Banished. Shipmaster: Ranger with movement speed increases from Banished Raid. The epitome of Guerilla with a strong emphasis on cloaking and teleportation. Technical due to the micromanagement required to use his teleports to their fullest potential. Sergeant Forge: Unit Specialist: Vehicles with unique access to the Grizzly tank. Industrial due to his passives allowing him to get his economy to full speed faster than anyone else except Pavium and reduce the build time of vehicles. Kinsano: Plays more like a Spammer than usual with passives that reward rapidly losing and replacing units with Redline speed increases and Hellcharge death explosions for a powerful rush. Colony: Elitist and Brute for a Banished leader with a strong focus on vehicles and aircraft empowered by Skitterer drones for additional health and damage. Turtle with aforementioned additional health as well as Combat Repair granting them mapwide passive regen and the powerful healing tool of Engineer Swarm. Sergeant Johnson: Unit Specialist: Vehicles with unique access to Mantis and Colossus mechs and several powers that exclusively buff them. Turtle with bunkers and a Siege Turret drop to lock down key locations. A very powerful late game Economist with Digging In Deep making all base buildings free. Arbiter: Technical, relying on stasis to divide opposing forces, powerful buffs from using his hero powers to shore up normally weaker Banished troops, and his hero unit requiring more micromanagement than most. Sergeant Jerome: Brute with Time for Heroes and Inspiration from various abilities making already powerful UNSC troops even more so, and Elitist with Omega Team alone taking a fourth of his supply in three Spartans. Yapyap the Destroyer: Spammer with free Cannon Fodder giving him incredibly strong map control and more units than anyone else. Technical due to the need to manage three hero units and their abilities at once. Serina: Gimmick with a heavy focus on freezing enemy units and shattering them quickly for massive damage. Turtle with freezing auras around captured points and her turrets. Voridus: Economist, strangely, due to the ability to get resources by attacking enemy structures to sustain his rush. Gimmick with many units and powers generating and benefiting from infusion pools, which also passively damage enemies. Pavium: Industrial and Economist in one due to Burnout boosting the production of his buildings. Turtle supreme with Mega Turrets allowing him to bombard enemies from afar, the ability to passively repair buildings as well as make them invulnerable for a time, and the Lich letting him lock down a key location. | |

Yank the Dog's Chain: Towards the end, it appears as though riding through a Halo's portal will allow the Spirit of Fire to get back to human space and contact them. Unfortunately, the Halo heads through the portal too quickly for the Spirit of Fire to follow through, leaving them stranded once again. As for Anders, just before the ring can reach its destination, it is yanked out of slipspace and hijacked by a Guardian under the control of Cortana. | |

Expy: Some of the new Flood forms are similar to certain Flood forms from previous games: The Flood Infester Form is similar to the Flood Stalker Form in appearance and role(as a scout unit capable of moving quickly), though the former is built to take on vehicles. The Flood Spawner Form is basically an upgrade to the Flood Ranged Form, but with the ability to spawn Infection Forms like the Flood Tank Form. The Abomination is explicitly an evolution of the Flood Juggernaut, a Flood form cut from Halo 2, but featured in Halo: Fireteam Raven. | |

Locked Out of the Loop: The Spirit's crew awaken with zero idea of what's been going on in the last twenty-eight years (sans the distress signal Anders picked up, which lets them know that either the war is still going on or the UNSC won). However, they do quickly find a UNSC logistics AI who fills them in on some of the details, in addition to providing updated specifications for improved equipment developed while they were out. This causes some confusing consternation in The Stinger, when Anders runs into one of the Guardians. | |
