I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.

It seems to me that Halo Wars 2 has nothing new to offer compared to CnC or SC2, except better graphics.

I might buy it, depending on the reviews.

If this game is commercially successful do the chances of aoe4 being made increase?

This is also kinda my opinion. I'm probably going to watch a few let's plays, maybe try to download it as a trial thing for a bit to see if I can deal with the mechanics. Ive always found myself to be surprisingly picky when it comes to RTS mechanics/controls so that's the first thing that's gotta be decent.

its the same as the previous game. all strategy revolves around build orders and a rock-paper-scissors counter system

It is because it means the game lacks depth and replayability

Pretty much. It just doesn't play nicely. The controls are awkward and the card system is really over complex and thus balance is awful.
