Tom: Thunder, thank you so much for giving up some of your time to come and talk to us about Halo Wars!
Graham: Happy to do it!
Tom: To kick this interview off, could you give us an introduction of who you are and what you do at Ensemble Studios.
Graham: Sure thing. My name is Graham "Thunder" Somers and I'm the Community Manager here at Ensemble Studios. I interface with the fans of our games, troll the forums for feedback and issues, and work on the content for all of our websites.
I used to work on an Age of Empires fan site back in the late 90s, so I'm very familiar with the work that goes into running a site and dealing with fans and forums. I started working in the games industry in 2002 when I was hired by Big Huge Games and in 2005 I found my way home, so to speak, to Ensemble Studios where I was hired on to be the Community Manager."
Did Bungie actually hate Halo Wars? Why wasn't Master Chief in the game? Lead designer Dave Pottinger reveals all.
Halo Wars is still widely considered one of the best and most accessible RTS games around, and that formula could work with other Microsoft IPs.
I think Crackdown would fit in a more turn-based tactics system via Xcom then a RTS type game play. Being able to customize multiple agents, deploying that group in an crime infested urban zone, going against other super powered enemy and fodder type thugs. The potential for that is huge if they won't do another successful, ground breaking, GOTY open world outing like Crackdown 3....
NoobFeed Editor Joshua Burt writes - There are many games in the famous Halo Franchise that are stellar titles and need to be revered. And some that do not. These games stand out from the crowd and deluge of colossal Halo titles. Games that made Halo great. We do need to iron out what qualifies the game for this list. They have to be in the Halo franchise… Obviously.

Halo 3 at the top is correct the only thing id change is swap infinite and halo ce around.
Halo 4 has the hottest Cortana too which explains why the MC is the hardest in that campaign and why H4's multiplayer is the illest. Chief ain't afraid to take on teleporting enemies that can one hit melee kill.
