The space battles are a prime part of the books and the Halo canon but it is only slightly glossed over in the Halo games.
Sins of the Prophets (SotP) is a great Halo based mod for SoaSE Entrenchment (with a planned released for Rebellion at a later date) that brings something that the Halo games have never full shown or developed, the epic space battles from the Halo books. Related: Everything we know about Halo: InfiniteĪt the time of writing, there’s no launch timetable for Sins of the Prophet 2.If you are familiar with the acclaimed 4x strategy game Sins of a Solar Empire (SoaSE) you will know of the huge scale of the space battles and the intricacies of spreading your empire. Sins of the Prophets is developed by Chokepoint Games, a studio created to unify various Halo and other themed mod teams from across several games, including Homeworld’s Operation: Homefront and Command & Conquer 3’s Evolutions: Strategy Evolved. Mods like Sins of the Prophets are great at flying the flag for the franchise in the interim, and the dedication and craft put into this mod are some of the best I’ve seen. Halo Wars 2 – which was originally created by Total War studio Creative Assembly – officially ceased active development earlier this year. While the mainstream Halo games have been continuing apace, there’s been less Master Chief love in the realm of strategy games. The developers are borrowing some modern graphics technology from another mod, Sins Remastered, and the team also plans to create a new UI, as well as introduce new gameplay features that better reflect the Halo universe, such as boarding actions and better planetary invasions. It seems everything is set to change with the new version. “We have been building up to a v1.0 release for a long time now, but what that ‘finished’ version looked like eventually evolved into something beyond our original vision.” “Our prior releases have been built upon over a decade of legacy code, which has in some ways hampered performance across previous versions.”
“Sins of the Prophets 2 is a sequel, but it’s also us fulfilling a promise to deliver something greater than what has come before,” the team said in a official announcement post. It turns out they’ve decided to just make Sins of the Prophets 2 instead. Last year the development team released the ‘Warlords’ 0.9 update, with a view to finally release Version 1.0 as soon as it was ready. Sins of the Prophets is a Sins of a Solar Empire mod that’s been in development for 12 years, since the early days of Sins of a Solar Empire. What if I argued that the best Halo game might actually be a strategy game? And a mod for a strategy game, at that? Sins of a Solar Empire is one of the best space RTS games you may never have heard of – mainly because its most recent iteration was released nearly a decade ago back in 2011, and there’s been no sequel to speak of.
