Itwire: "So here I am playing through Halo Wars on the Xbox 360 and Dawn of War II on PC. Games not dissimilar in theme, but different in how they play. Many said a first person shooter could not be done without the accuracy of keyboard and mouse, but can real time strategy also find comfort on a console platform?"
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.
No, the controller just can't compare to a mouse and keyboard for this particular genre. Unless of course a game wants to package in a wireless mouse and keyboard in which case, ya, it can be done.
Of course the controls can't compare to a mouse and keyboard or a wii remote, but consoles have had RTS's and "been comfortable" for decades now... It's not like all of a sudden that since Halo Wars is here and FPS only gamers are going to try something else the console is discovering the Real Time Strategy. Good grief...
The only gaming console RTSes could find a comfortable home on would be the Wii.
And yet, it's almost a shame that its online is so wonky. Perhaps that's what's prohibiting the gush of RTSes towards the system. If the online problem could get sorted out, it would be THE CONSOLE for RTSes (PC excluded of course).
Console RTS are gimped by the imput device. Micromanagement is next to impossible, selecting units is just as bad.
