i think an RTS of halo (Halo Wars) is the coolest think since the Fonz, but do you think it will stay xbox360 exclusive? i don't think microsoft would wanna pass pushing more attention toward windows vista by makng this game for 360 and not pc. and it seems that an rts would be better for the pc anyway. what are your opinions?
probably. i find it would be hard to play on the 360 since the control sticks are sometimes not too easy to use to point. and it would definately suck at dragging. starcraft 64 anyone?
A Halo RTS would've made its way onto the PC a loooonnnggg time ago as a mod for one of the C&C/LotR games had Bungie/MS not had them shut down their work. :(

why don't you become a 360 owner too and you will not have to hope for such things
I'm not sure - I don't think that it would have much of a market on the PC (we've already got a ton of RTS games, and the PC version of Halo didn't sell too well).
There's no real reason why it wouldn't go to the PC, as Microsoft/Ensemble will get the profits from it anyway (and it's hardly a system seller), but I don't think that it will go multiplat.
I think they might've said they were going to port it to PC (could be wrong), but rest assured they're building it ground up for the 360 so it won't be awkward.
It'll be 360 exclusive like Halo is 360 exclusive, if I were a PC gamer I wouldn't expect it to come to PC for at least a year or two.

you mean a few years or two more. took them forever to port halo 2. ended up gettinga 360. never wanted a 360 cause of weird controls (i just suck probably) but i find that formerly playing with pc's has improved my xbox dual analog skills. having fun and plyaing mostly Rainbow six when using my 360.

because i don't want to buy a 360 for like 2 games. halo 3 and gears of war. Because most of their other games are on ps3 or pc.

i got the core for free and i chose to do so just to play R6:V without having to upgrade my comp and Halo 2. good deal for me!

But RTS is obviously a PC genre so I'd expect MS to want it on PC faster than they wanted Halo (which was a major Xbox seller) available on the PC.
It would depend on how the game plays but since it's from Essemble I assume it would be a rather traditional RTS and if that were the case it wouldn't be a good idea to only release it on consoles.

But its being designed specifically for the 360, meaning it likely won't be a traditional RTS (or at least would be tweaked to work perfectly with the 360 and controller).

No it didn't - they deliberately delayed it so that they could sell Vista.
Why isn't it out yet then?
i thnk it is. saw it on display at gamestop a few weeks back.
and to my the guy who quoted me above, i think it was more to sell xbox's than to sell vistas but i agree with you. i understand why it was delayed. it wouldnt be smart to put a system seller on another system right away.

I don't know, but it only took them two years to port Halo 1.
Then again, they are adding in Map/Art Editors + Assorted Community Tools, improved graphics, destructible buildings, improved AI, full 360 controller support, new armour mechanics for MC, new weapons, etc.

First off Bungie didn't make the halo1 port, somebody else did. 2nd MS and bungie have a contract where bungie can't even start working on the halo port the game until a certain date. I'm guessing it'll be the same with Halo Wars and relic.
I also read that Halo sold very well on pc but can't find the evidence right now.
