Halo Wars will be released on March 3rd for the Xbox 360 platform with a demo out on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace starting February 5th. The game is set in the Halo universe in the early days of the UNSC-Covenant war..."
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.
ANY RTS on ANY console = fail. look at endwar, solid gameplay and graphics but only sold 500k on both 360 and ps3
RTS was born on the PC should have stayed there
something what really annoys me is that halo wars will probably outsell killzone 2 just cause it has "halo" in the name
(btw there was no fanboyism intended)
true that, if u really break down this game, only thing they are trying to accomplish is controls...and even if they have perfect controls, it wont come close to EndWar command system when fully mastered...halo wars is so plain, with NOTHING going on for it...but since 360 doesnt have much comin out this year, its only right to milk as much halo out of the players as possible
Cant wait to play this game in xbox live
and some fanboys should stop posting about commands that they dont know
Wow what a piece of....
This game is going to be a huge seller that's for sure. RTS games already work on consoles. But dude it looks like each group can do different things by a press of a button like the soldiers throwing grenades. Good stuff!
