While Dust Storm is still struggling through the Halo Wars 2 campaign, patches are coming out this week for both Halo 5 and Halo Wars 2 and mostly for multiplayer. Forge possibilities continue to expand, unit balances across the entire Halo Wars 2 experience and a new radar being tested for Arena multiplayer are some of the highlights. Pax East is also this weekend where the team from 343 and Creative Assembly will talk about the story making process for Halo Wars 2 and some upcoming DLC.
Halo Wars 2 is finally out and brings the Halo saga back to the Ark, the Halo making machine we left at the end of Halo 3.
