Microsoft has confirmed that Ensemble Studios' last ever RTS, Halo Wars, is finished and has gone gold.
To celebrate Microsoft's launched the first of a series of Halo Wars video documentaries, detailing the controls and key elements of the console strategy effort.
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.
see how it shapes up.
Im interseted in RTS games but being a console gamer I just cant play on a keyboard in front of my PC , simply no fun at all.
Hope this turns out good so I can finnaly give RTS games a real try
I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty suprised by this.
For an RTS on consoles to hit this mark this fast is very impressive.
The Halo name sure has some serious industry clout.
Good job to MS.
Love Halo but not really the biggest fan of RTS
The punching out of units in HW sounds faster and more fun than previous RTS for console
The whole thing looks lovely and Ensemble seems to have done full justice to the great material
Of course Ensemble wont want to be remembered as going out with a limp so count me very excited
Just as well there is a demo out soon for those on the fence
People with sense will at least give it a proper go.It also wouldn't be wise to listen to any cr!p opinions from those in no position to know how this could end up - potentially at least this looks to be very smart indeed
Love Halo but I hate RTS games so I'll be skipping.
Wonderful halo has come full circle returning to it's pre-development RTS role for halo is going to be awesome!
