Will there ever be another Halo Wars?

And if so, would Microsoft use talents of Robot Entertainment or would they hire a 3rd party company, like Firaxis (who can make high quality strategy games on consoles as Civilization Revolution and XCOM: Enemy Unknown had already proven)??? Would you like to see another Halo Wars? I think it should come out regularly in-between Halo FPS games...

It's possible. I think 343 hinted at a new one before. The more Halo the better.

as for whether or not they'll make one... I doubt it, the first one is the lowest selling game in the series, over a million units, but under 2 million

Would love a new one for the PC. I always wanted a Gears RTS a'la CoH.tagyhag

[QUOTE="Salt_The_Fries"] You should, even if you're not very keen on strategy games, but if you have a modicum of interest in the Halo lore, you should play it. It's a very well made game, with very high production values and really interesting campaign, even for non-RTS gamers...Salt_The_Fries

There have been rumors of a sequel. I think we might get one sometime after the next xbox launches.

The first Halo Wars was outstanding, I really do hope Halo Wars 2 gets made.

Oh please god no.

Unless they change it to some sort of a 3rd person, squad shooter with strategy elements. RTS games don't work well on the consoles. They are limit too much by the unit selection. It all becomes a massive zerg fest of end-game units.

Halo Wars worked, but proved that the controls rae too limiting to have any real depth in the gameplay. It's sad too, a Halo RTS is a great idea.

yeah Halo Wars is to strategy games

what kart racers are to racing simulators

... but to me, that means Halo Wars is the Mario Kart or the Crash Team racing of RTS games, it's not deep and it's a little unbalanced, but dammit, it's fun :P

Yeah, RTS games either flop or just dont work well on consoles. I'd buy a PC version.

Lol can I get a hit? Firaxis doesn't need contract work to make an RTS halo.

Wasdie, do yourself a favor and shut the f*ck up before someone who actually played Halo Wars at a fairly high level of play (like me), proves that you have no idea what the f*ck you're talking about.

I'm sorry I enjoyed the game but that sounds so weird coming from a PC RTS background. :P

Lets hope not, the world has enough shovelware.

i can't think of a worse rts.. casual, simple, pathetically easy, bad controls (gamepad for rts?) bad bad bad

I liked the game. It's a very competent console RTS, probably one of the best examples ever released. But it was definitely restricted, through no fault of Ensemble.

I don't think I'd like another one to be honest. If they had to make a Halo game that explored other genres, I'd rather they venture down different avenues.

Hope not. I would rather see an ODST sequel.

Whoa. What made you post here?freedomfreak

I post here when there are threads I can actually contribute to: Like threads that deride the WiiU and its games, talk about Halo, or other games I enjoy. :P

TC, I like the way you're thinking so umm, don't tell'em where ya heard it but the next gen HW2 launching late 2013. :shock:

Anyhoo, thank you sir, may I have another. :P

I hope they make another one. I still will never understand why it was not brought out for the PC. Considering Ensamble's background.
