Great news.

I'm surprised Creative Assembly (Sega) is working on it.

Wingsfan243948d ago (Edited 3948d ago )

Yea, that was totally unexpected but fantastic at the same time. They know how to make an RTS. I'm also curious to know how they translate their style of gameplay into an Halo RTS.

Gazondaily3948d ago

And cross play with PC gamers. It'll be mad. That keyboard/mouse support will come handy no doubt

@septic:

KB/Mouse support might just come to Xbox One!

4Sh0w3947d ago (Edited 3947d ago )

Nice, been waiting for this....they are really doing a good job of diversifying the game types on X1, and Halo Wars was my favorite RTS on consoles last gen.

Didn't a lot of staff from the closure of Ensemble Studios go to Creative assembly? If so many of them would have experience with the previous Halo Wars.

lemoncake3948d ago

Yeah the fact creative assembly are making it just rockets this announcement to a whole new level. Great surprise.

3-4-53948d ago (Edited 3948d ago )

Awesome.

First one was decent but only because the awesome Ensemble Studios was working on it.

Still sad all these years later that they just dismantled Ensemble Studios like that, especially when they had NEVER made a bad game ever.

Good news though, as RTS games on consoles are prime for a good push this and next gen.

* There BETTER be more than just two factions.

That stuff flew in the 90's...barely....but even then Age of Empires had multiple civs.

Playing as the humans over and over again got boring real quick in Halo Wars.

Zeref3947d ago

It wasn't microsoft's fault though it was the recession.

otherZinc3948d ago (Edited 3948d ago )

WOW! Just wow! Wasn't expecting that!

Beat Halo Wars on Legendary. Absolutely loved that game! Next year is going to be fantastic again, for XBOX ONE.

Scalebound and Halo Wars 2 has me very jelly.

TheRedButterfly3948d ago

You know there is a way to remedy that jelly, right? :)

falviousuk3948d ago

I saw what you done there

raggy-rocket3948d ago

Ballsy move going to windows 10, but it's an RTS, it's the perfect fit!!!! Oh my God YES, HALO WARS 2. I HAVE WAITED SO LONG!

hades073948d ago

I agree, cannot wait. I dont play as many strategy games now that I play more games on console than the PC but Halo Wars on the 360 was amazing. Now to hopefully play Halo Wars on xbox one backwards compatibility as a primer before 2 comes out.

falviousuk3948d ago

I would imagine MS will give Halo Wars way with Halo Wars 2 the same they are doing with other games

Sciurus_vulgaris3948d ago

I not surprised the announcement of this game came shortly after Xbox One mouse and keyboard support.

steve30x3948d ago

They said they were looking into keyboard and mouse support for Xbox one. They did not say it would actually happen.

steve30x3947d ago

To those that disagreed. Here is the proof. I do follow the news

wakeNbake3948d ago

Never played the last one, I'll have to look into this though.

Wingsfan243948d ago

The first one was one of my favorite RTS games. Basically command and conquer in Halo, worked so well. Just, with the power of the 360 the amount going on, on screen was pretty limited so I'm super interested to know just how big they're going with 2.

Also, you should look up the soundtrack for the game if you like any Halo music. So good.

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....

P_Bomb1169d ago

I could see that. I feel like State of Decay could spin-off into something strategic as well.

giovonni1168d ago

Actually that would be kind of fly if they made it a turn base RTS.

lellkay805d ago

Crackdown tactics would be legit!!

Halo CE over Halo Infinite anyday

Not to mention the impact it had at the time

Flawlessmic1478d ago

Halo 3 at the top is correct the only thing id change is swap infinite and halo ce around.

AuraAbjure1478d ago

Halo 4 best campaign and multiplayer. Halo 3 best story.

ChubbyBlade1477d ago

Are you trying to give people cancer?

AuraAbjure1477d ago (Edited 1477d ago )

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.
