I beg to differ. The only reason people dont like this game is
A. They have never played it, and only heard others say they hated it
I disliked it, and I did play it.
B. They played it, but were looking for a good multiplayer like all halo games have, which it did not
I focused more on campaign than I did multiplayer, and let me tell you both were terrible.
Halo Wars had a great story
No it didn't
and killer cutscenes...
Graphics wise yes, but otherwise...
(best in any halo game).
*Facepalm*
In no way did Halo Wars have the best cutscenes. Graphically they were very pretty, and the animations were smooth, but the voice acting was stale, and so were the emotions on each and every face.
Don't even make me mention the scene where they all rush the three spartans.
1) Elites running in a straight line with literally no shields and spears against three spartans with automatic weapons and a shotgun makes no sense at all.
2) Why is it that spartans suddenly have the capacity to do gymnastics over elites, fully knowing that elites are the far more agile of the two, and are also 1-2 feet taller than spartans.
3) The last elite to be killed (Aside from the arbiter) just runs up to the spartan and grabs his gun and then literally stands there and does nothing as if he has extremely short term memory, and then guess what the spartan does. He literally takes half a second to look at the elite that grabbed his gun, and then proceeds to headbutt said elite. What the -blam!-. Did anyone ever try to take the time to make an action cutscene that didn't lower itself to 1970 karate movies?
Not to mention the many other screw ups in those cutscenes. Like getting experimental plasma tanks out of nowhere and using them to take down a plasma shield, "Oh that's right we have those experimental plasma tanks on board for just such an occasion".
So I have to say nay to your little acusation. The reason they went to Acarcadia was to, as stated before, follow the forerunner artifact. But mid mission, anders gets kidnapped and then they have to leave and follow the tracker to the shield world. So they did not finish the mission. You are right.
So where is the question you needed answered in the first place?
The problem isn't with why they left, but why did the forerunner device even point to Arcadia if they were not even going to use it in the central plot.
It's like mid movie the protagonist says "The clue leads me to believe that the murderer will strike here next" and then goes to that very spot and does nothing at all related to the murder and leaves it unresolved as the protagonists moves on with the story.
Halo wars had a terrible story, the gameplay wasn't half bad, but not enough for me to like it.
In answer to the elites, it was early in the war, spartans were pretty new and unknown to the covenant. Those elites thought they were dealing with ordanairy marines.
Halo wars did have a great storyline, Althought I agree arcadia could have been cut. But without Arcadia, Anders wouldn't have been kidnapped, which wouldn't have led to the shield world.
The device on Harvest didn't lead to the shield world as it was out of Range. There was probally anther planet with directions to it.
