Probably but sale wise and popularity wise it won't even be 1/5 the game halo is. It's just not an FPS.

After seeing some of the Gameplay on it I don't think it looks good... I loved Halo 2 and 3, but this is just an insult to the halo name...

I dont want to be a hater, but i honestly doubt it. Nothing about it seems outstanding. The graphics are nothing to shout about, it features no innovative gameplay or special game-specific hooks to draw attention to it. It looks far too much like a cookie cutter RTS with Halo in the title.

I wouldn't be surprised, but I doubt it would be warranted. I mean Ensemble is such a long in the tooth developer who has been stuck in the past.

On XBL whenever Halo Wars is brought up in a conversation I mostly hear people not being thrilled that it is an RTS game.

Game looks cool(the units and artstyle) and I like Halo, but I wish this game was on pc so I can use k/m. I haven't played a game which I enjoyed playing rts on a console yet.

Just because its base on Halo doesn't automatically guarantee it to be AAA. Halo Wars just has to prove itself thats all. But there's already a couple of AAA caliber RTS games, so if Halo Wars can pulling off an AAA caliber RTS game, then thats all that matters and not because its based on Halo. But I think it'll sell more than other RTS games because of Halo.

I'd say it's going to get an 8.5 -- but it can get higher, afterall, Ensemble is a great studio.

I'm not sure. It's being made by a different developer whom also are closing down. I wouldn't be surprised if the game feels less polished because of that.

that's another reason it will flop. RTS exlcusive to a console. lol. If this game didn't have Halo in it noone would care....literally.

It was an unmitigated flop and it was stuck in the past with gameplay mechanics. Ensemble is a developer that used to be excellent, but over time has failed to adapt to the modern times. This has been readily apparent in the recent videos for this game. They haven't been able to shirk off the spector of years past and bring in new gameplay mechanisc to the genre. It can't even begin to hold water to gamesl ike Company of Heroes, Sins of a Solar Empire, Empire Total War, etc.

Yes, they suck so much that SINS managed to get a 9.0, and the Total War franchise has been one of the greatest RTS games of all tiem.

The Total War franchise doesn't even count as a true "RTS". It's just setting up your army, and then attacking. There's no resource-building, micro-managing, or anything the Age of Empires franchise had.

I actually have both thank you.
First of all Sins is turn based, not even a rts. It's so boring imo.

Empire is meh. More of an army building game in a way. Not very fun either.

Company of Heroes on the other hand kicks those games *****

I don't see how.. The bar has been set extremely high for both the action orientated RTS's like Company of Heroes, as well as the traditional RTS.. From what we have seen, they are doing nothing new or unique.. Its going to be compared to games that set the bar extremely high.

Now you are talking out of your ass.. Sins of a Solar Empire is a RTS.. There is no end turn function its all in real time..

Empire hasn't come out yet.. Rome Total War and Medieval 2 total war both got high marks.. Though they arn't exactly rts games..

Thats a gross misinterpreation of the Total War series, and shows how ignorant you are.. Total War is a completely different game, there are resources to the game, there is diplomacy.. And numerous other aspects.. Its not a traditional RTS game though.. And I consider combat really only a 3rd of the fun, its the fac tyou set it up and moved them around and the battle has a greater mean tha tmake it interesting.

If i wan't diplomacy, i'll play Europa Universalis III. Which, according to you then, also counts as a RTS.

Overall, I think it will get between A-AA scores, but I'm pretty sure it will get a few AAA from some websites.

what? You do understand that the whole deactivation of the halos is nothing?
Its like saying Romeo and Juliet is a pointless story because you already know the end,

and pss.... you realize that the covenant, overall lost right with the halos breaking down and whatnot?
