Microtransactions have become a part of gaming, but has Halo Wars 2 gone too far?
The RTS genre has had a rough ride on consoles through the years, but which are the 7 best games available today?
Halo Wars is still widely considered one of the best and most accessible RTS games around, and that formula could work with other Microsoft IPs.
I think Crackdown would fit in a more turn-based tactics system via Xcom then a RTS type game play. Being able to customize multiple agents, deploying that group in an crime infested urban zone, going against other super powered enemy and fodder type thugs. The potential for that is huge if they won't do another successful, ground breaking, GOTY open world outing like Crackdown 3....
NoobFeed Editor Joshua Burt writes - There are many games in the famous Halo Franchise that are stellar titles and need to be revered. And some that do not. These games stand out from the crowd and deluge of colossal Halo titles. Games that made Halo great. We do need to iron out what qualifies the game for this list. They have to be in the Halo franchise… Obviously.

Halo 3 at the top is correct the only thing id change is swap infinite and halo ce around.
Halo 4 has the hottest Cortana too which explains why the MC is the hardest in that campaign and why H4's multiplayer is the illest. Chief ain't afraid to take on teleporting enemies that can one hit melee kill.
I love how you can easily change Halo Wars 2 for Halo 5: Guardians and make the same "points".
There are multiple, consistent ways of obtaining the card packs in game, without ever spending real money, just like in Halo 5. From getting achievements from both Halo Wars versions, to more gameplay.
On top of having of all that, they are not intrusive. One single mode out of the entire multiplayer. Just like in Halo 5.
The article even complains about the beta, calling it out a test on the system of 343i microtransactions, while blatantly ignoring the previous 2 years that Halo 5 had the same model. Even better, the beta actually helped developers change rarities and balancing of the cards themselves, rather than being a promotional tool as said in the article.
But sure, it's 343i and their single multiplayer mode that has microtransactions (which are not required to maximize one's own decks) that has taken microtransactions too far. Poorly researched article.
It's either buy or don't buy , plain and simple. But enough with the whinnying.
Going to see any articles about For Honor as well?
DLC's, season passes and mt's exist because its made profitable by those who buy and support them, just like let's say.., how certain companies get sponsorship/support from Subway sandwiches, doritos or mountain dew
Its "made" profitable for everyone who does it
