    You know, I have not a video or computer game in almost a year, and Halo 5 really, really turned me off with its lack of creativity in multiplayer mode, its hair-brained story that focused less on interesting characters like the Arbiter and more on dullards, and those ridiculously annoying sections with the Warden Eternal.

    However, this looks really cool and much better than that POS that came out last year. Regardless of how Atriox ends up being depicted in the game, he already has quite the name for himself.

    Well, this comes out today.

    Anyone have any thoughts?

    Gameplay could be a ton of fun with the new units, but some of that dialogue was pretty cringe worthy.

    Not sure if everyone would agree, but I loved Cutters speech.

    And not to mention Atriox's introduction.

    Based on the story I'm getting the feeling Halo Wars 2 is somehow going to lead into Halo 6. Really want to be wrong about that but who knows with 343.

    As a character I really like Atriox, but seriously, I wish he had done more to live up to his badass reputation.
    Not that the single handed ass whooping he gave red team wasn't deserving of the title, but I wish he had more presence in the game.

    I feel like it's going to lead straight up to 6. Otherwise that ending wouldn't have been there.

    Not to mention there's going to be story DLC. Which means there could be more story after the main game.

    DLC really? Ugh it's going to be a pain in the arse keeping up with the story from this point forward isn't it?

    I have no objections, just as long as it continues on from the games ending, AND gives us more Atriox, I'll go with it.

    And who here wants Red Team to meet back up with Blue Team? A Spartan II reunion?
