And you won't get much of that out of the demo. It's nothing more than a re-skinned Halo Wars with a weird add-on game mode when you consider what it's like to just play the thing. The real selling point to Halo Wars 2 is the game's story. The second RTS in the Halo franchise has perhaps the most underwhelming gameplay with pointlessly finicky controls and a dumb card-game addition that is in no way fun. The saddest thing about this demo will be that it hinges on the worst aspects of Halo Wars 2. Which I guess saves your wrists from the low-risk of TCG-induced carpal tunnel? It means that nothing will now threaten the release date, which is set to February 21, 2017.You can pre-order the game, which, incidentally, is going to be available in Xbox Play Anywhere, meaning that you don’t need to buy it twice in order to play on PC and XONE interchangeably. All the fun of flipping cards with none of the effort. A couple of days ago 343 Industries announced that Halo Wars 2 had gone Gold. Because everyone loves a good virtual card game. The demo comprises of the game's opening mission which has you controlling a large-scale battle, and the game's Blitz Firefight cardgame.

The demo is also available on PC for Windows, because it's a Microsoft property. Get some use out of that expensive paperweight.

If you've been sitting there looking at your Xbox One and wondering why you've bought it, well, Halo Wars 2 now has a demo for you.
