It randomly occurred to me that there is a possibility that Halo Wars 2 could be more like LoL or Smite, given the current popularity for the genre at the moment. Anyone think this is a possibility.
Maybe, anything is possible. My favorite game other than halo is Smite, so I would really be into that.
Well if they announce it, I might try smite to get a feel for it before Halo Wars 2 releases, I would love it to have a map editor also.
Since it's CA developing it, I pretty much anticipate a pure RTS game. Though I would't put a MOBA past 343i's eye. It might use HW2's engine
Im suggesting the idea that Halo Wars 2 will be more akin to League of Legends (Lol) or Smite (or MOBA as the genre) than a Pure RTS (Real Time Strategy)
No I do not think they will make Halo Wars 2 into a MOBA. They already stated that they are going to keep the basic structure of the game because they do not find the need to fix what already works. That being said maybe there will be a Halo MOBA in the future. It could definitely work.
Ahhhh, so what is MOBA? I liked the one that was free on 360 like a year ago where you built the towers as bad guys came through. You had to strategically place them to block certain paths & then you could upgrade them to do more damage.
I doubt Halo Wars 2 will be anything like a MOBA, but it could be possible to use the engine to make one. I highly doubt Halo will enter the MOBA arena.
343 arent making it though. This is speculation at its most thin, but the concept of a MOBA isnt out of grasp, since the basis is looseslyvthere in Halo Wars 1with idea of the covenant leaders being usuable troops, not disimilar to the idea of hero characters in mobas. I will wait and see, but with MOBA like elements in the original (if you play covies only) and the climate of popularity for mobas, I wouldnt dismiss the idea that at least very MOBA style elements will be in Halo Wars 2 as unfounded speculation (not saying you are). I just enjoyed the Halo Wars gameplay, and hope it is a familar experience with fresh, better balanced gameplay (hopefully hog rushing and Odst spam/zerging would not be the be all end all strategies, allowing for some more drawn out battles of attrition perhaps?)
