In addition, "Halo Wars 2" packs a never-before-seen story as the heroes of the game find the galaxy more dangerous than ever. The story is said to be told in action-packed missions in the Ark.

"Halo Wars 2" Ranked Competitive Feature To Release Shortly After Launch
In other news, the "Halo Wars 2" developers have confirmed that the ranked multiplayer feature has only been delayed and will still be coming to the game shortly after launch, Gamespot reported. It is said that the formal ranked competitive system is unlike that of "Halo 5" that was said to be intentionally delayed at launch. Apparently, the Developer 343 Industries noted that an unranked environment may be more inviting and less stressful for gamers as they have more time to practice and try different strategies.
The "Halo Wars 2" launch has also been noted as a pre-season of sorts by the game developers. Apparently, new tweaks and fixes may still be launched on the feature via a hotfix. In the meantime, it should be noted that achievements and saves made on both console and Windows 10 PC may be moved between platforms. Watch the PC vs Xbox One Graphic Comparison of the game below:
