Once again, the main Halo Wars 2 villain, Atriox, hardly had any in-game or Blur cutscenes screen time, which left me somewhat disappointed. It’s a modest story with a beginning, middle and an open ending – which seems like the latest trend of 343’s stories – leaving plenty of opportunities to articulate new tales around this scrounging enemy.
Don’t expect full-blown story content in this DLC. The (re)introduction to The Flood in Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare expansion had me excited for the future of the Halo franchise, mostly since it gives me hope we will be able to battle them in the next mainline game. Pavium and his army are forced to hold their ground against The Flood until they can regroup with Voridus and make a proposal for a containment plan. Voridus’ men cut the containment shield and enter the facility infested by The Flood spores, and with no sentinel defense system in place, The Flood begin to spread and infect any living tissue nearby. Soon after, Voridus and his men ignore the cautions from Atriox to not go inside the High Charity – jam-packed with flood spores – claiming that they are nothing more than stories and folklores from the Covenant. Both are sent to High Charity, the past capital city of the Covenant empire that crashed on the Ark during the events of Halo 3, to attack the Sentinel defense system placed around the city by the Installation’s monitor. In this expansion you play as the antagonist faction The Banished, more precisely, as the brothers Pavium and Voridus. I will be talking about the campaign, the content that came with it, and the story in this review, so beware of spoilers. When this expansion was announced at E3 Live show, I was ecstatic to get my hands on it, especially when 343 confirmed right away they are canon to the Halo universe. The Flood race has always been my favorite enemy to fight since its original debut back in 2001 with Halo: CE.
