Official Halo Wars 2 Posters!

Microsoft commisioned three artists to make Halo Wars 2 posters. 2 each to each artist, one of a UNSC leader and the other a Banished leader.

These first two were created by Kevin Tong.HW2 Poster CutterHW2 Poster Atriox

The following two were created by Grzegorz ‘Gabz’ Domaradzki.HW2 Poster AndersHW2 Poster Shipmaster

And the last two were made by Craig Drake.HW2 Poster DecimusHW2 Poster Isabel

Which one do you like the best?

I think the middles pairing of Anders and the Shipmaster are fantastic! Use of a limited color palette with the striking reds and oranges really brings out the ‘WARS’ aspect of the posted.

No details yet on how these can be obtained. However, I’m told that they will be available at retail in some form. If that’s as a bonus at a Microsoft store or as individuals you can buy, I do not yet know. Once I do know though, you can bet I’ll post it here!

The pack will set you back either 150K REQ Points or if you really want them and dont’ want to grind the points, you can purchase it for $10 (US).

I for one am excited for these. I’ll be taking turns with Recon, Operator, EOD, Pilot and my fav of this bunch, the CQB helmet!

Look for a Halo update on your console some time in the afternoon. As soon as I know the update is available, I”ll tweet it out here: @HaloFanForLife

Which reminds me, if you are on twitter and haven’t followed me yet, please do. Every article I post here gets a tweet there. So you’ll be able to stay up on HFFL even better!

Halo fans of all skill levels are certainly no strangers to self-evaluation, whether it’s giving a quick check at their PGCR in between matches, or spending an inordinate amount of time examining and analyzing their stats online looking for an extra edge.

Sitting not too far away from yours truly is a small, but scrappy team of feature freaks – engineers who daily unleash their particular brand of genius in a tireless pursuit to deliver helpful and powerful web and application-based tools for players to enhance their Halo experience.
