Halo Wars 2 (Xbox One)

A real-time strategy game set in the Halo universe, Halo Wars 2 combines action and tactics with awesome science fiction. In the single-player campaign, you are Captain Cutter, and you'll lead a squad of soldiers against a terrifying new threat to humanity. Led by deadly villain Atriox, The Banished are vicious mercenaries who wage war with retooled alien weaponry. The single-player campaign features the largest battlefield in Halo history. Fight for control of the Ark, an alien structure created by the Forerunners. As for multiplayer, head-to-head games can be played with AI enemies, real people, or a combination of both. Modes include the time-limited craziness of Strongholds, the classic RTS style of Domination, the fight-until-the-last-man action of Deathmatch, and Blitz, which promises a "unique approach to RTS gameplay."
