Grace said, "They close their eyes, and then this happens. They've missed everything that's in between, and catching them up on that passage of time is a big part of bringing them back into Halo."
Cook also wanted to coordinate with Grace to create a harmonious game that will make Halo Wars 2 remarkable. He said, "We look at the high level, and Creative Assembly chimes in to ask if can tweak things for gameplay. Then Blur chimes in asking about cinematics. There's definitely a lot of handing off the torch."
Grace and Cook wanted to focus on the cinematics of Halo Wars 2 because it plays an important role in the game. It will organize the flow of the game with dialogue and interaction of players with other characters.
