I want Halo Wars to be bigger then any regular RTS game. I want to see ships built on planets or in space and leave the earth and head towards other planets and fight in space or wipe out entire planets, by building huge carriers, and fleets of ships.

The halo universe is huge so lets use it!

Awesome ideas. I doubt it will be put in place though. They're probably going to take it safe on this one because its such a huge franchise and it's the first time they're doing a rts game based on it. Still though, thats a really good idea on how the rts genre could evolve, going planet to planet like that.

Jrome6134d ago

this game is going to be pwnage if they make it right XD...screw Halo FPS..it's all about HALO RTS..THE NEW STARCRAFT lol ^_^...i'll definately be upgrading my computer for this

brodels6134d ago

Is this game only for 360? Why would anyone want to play a RTS on a console? Unless the controls are somehow made intuitive. I'll stick with my pc for RTS

Numark6134d ago

play command and conquer 3 or lotr battle for middle earth 2 on the 360.

both are great games and play easily with the controller.

Daxx6134d ago

I do believe it is coming out for the PC but it's going to be a while. Basically the are building the game from the ground up on the 360 then they are probably going to port it to the PC.

Daxx6134d ago

This probably the best looking RTS on the 360 yet. Sure LOTR II and C&C 3 look good but Halo Wars looks amazing by far. The lighting and the textures have that sort of splendor that comes from very powerful gaming PCs.

NextGen24Gamer6134d ago

Command and Conquer is SUPERB on the 360....And they are making this game specifically for the 360....It will be spectacular guarenteed. 2008 is looking to be fantastic for the 360....but its hard to look that far ahead with all the AAA games releasing this year. WOW...Kudos Microsoft. Keep pushing the industry.

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_Bomb421d ago

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

giovonni420d ago

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

Crackdown tactics would be legit!!

Halo CE over Halo Infinite anyday

Not to mention the impact it had at the time

Flawlessmic730d ago

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

AuraAbjure730d ago

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

ChubbyBlade729d ago

Are you trying to give people cancer?

AuraAbjure729d ago (Edited 729d 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.

I feel like I see these articles often. Either way, just going by main titles as a whole package not just on MP I’d say;
Best 2,3,1,4,5 worst.
Story only;
Best 1,2,3,4,5 worst.
MP only
Best 2,3,5,1,4 worst.

Popsicle1006d ago (Edited 1006d ago )

Great list Deathdeliverer! The only place we differ is that I would put Halo 3 MP over Halo 2 MP, but gaming preferences are subjective and there are really no right or wrong answers. We match exactly on everything else. And yes, these list are made all the time, but they still get me to click on them. Lol!

Deathdeliverer1006d ago

I was really torn between the two so I’ll call it a toss up. They are head and shoulders above the other Halo Mps. It’s Halo 2/3 (in any order) then a pause, then the rest.
