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.
yea i know i don't play halo
looks intresting i love halo but i will only buy halo wars if it come out on pc pc is best for rts
I remember when playing the original Halo there was an area in the game (can't remember which exactly; it's been so long since I played it) where it was at night and there were LOADS of different types of enemies, on multiple levels and several vehicles and at first I tried to sneak up on them on ground.
But then I found myself a Banshee, went up to a really high bridge with the idea of doing some sneaky sniping BUT instead I just found myself looking down for 15-20 minutes and zooming around at all the cool stuff that was happening below. And every now and then I'd just take out an unsuspecting enemy, he he.
But while up there it really did feel like this could so easily be an RTS. Imagine being able to play on either side and call in a Scorpion or two to pre-secure the area before sending the Spartans in. Then after a bit of fighting send in some Pelicans to drop off some health, weapons and more Spartans while ordering in some rocket launcher equipped fighters to sort out the incoming Covenant Dropships.
How about some optional voice recognition?
That'll be super sweet baby. Let's hope Ensemble Studios can make my dreams a reality!
I own and played/passed halo 1 and 2,and im wondering if halo 3 and halo wars will be in the same game or will be two different separate games,can somebody help me?
They are in fact two seperate games. Halo 3 is an FPS game while Halo Wars will be an RTS game. Halo Wars is also set to be released definately after Halo 3. I also heard that it will be exclusive to the 360 at least for a while.
I personally think that anyone who even likes halo should just go out and get all four books and the 2 games. Then you will see how epic Halo is. Plus, you can see how they can really expand Halo to many many many directions.
So, to learn to love halo, do the following.
1. Look at tons and tons of halo pictures to get a feel for the visual style to apply to the books.
2. Read Halo: The Fall of Reach
3. Play Halo: Combat Evolved
4. Read Halo: The Flood
5. Read Halo: First Strike
6. Play Halo 2
7. Read Halo: Ghosts of Onyx
8. Play Halo 3
9. Read any new books.
10. Play Halo Wars (time period is supposedly before the events of Halo:CE)
