Halo Wars 2 Doesn't Have Map Editor; Full Achievement List Revealed
More details confirmed for the RTS sequel.
With the launch of Halo Wars 2 coming up very soon, Microsoft has now made a few more announcements about the RTS sequel.
In its latest weekly blog post, developer 343 Industries answered a lot of fan questions, one of which asked about potential map-making tools. Unfortunately for fans, this isn't in the works. "We have no plans to release a map editor at this time," 343 said.
Another big piece of news for Halo Wars 2 from the blog post was the announcement of the game's complete list of achievements. There will be 57 to collect, worth a combined 1,000 Gamerscore. You will unlock achievements for doing things like completing the tutorial, beating campaign missions (solo and co-op), collecting skulls, and playing Blitz cards, among many other things.
The full Halo Wars 2 achievement list follows below. You can read the full Halo weekly blog post here.
Halo Wars 2 launches on February 21 for Xbox One and PC. It's an Xbox Play Anywhere title, so buying a digital copy on one platform provides access to the game on the other, including all saves and progress. People who buy the $80 Ultimate Edition can start playing on February 17.
A 1 TB Halo Wars 2 Xbox One S bundle launches on February 17 for $350. It comes with the Ultimate Edition, so you can start playing right away.
In other Halo Wars 2 news, Microsoft this week released the game's intense launch trailer and followed that up with a pair of silly live-action videos for the game.
