Should a Halo RTS for the PC be made?

Would you like to see an RTS set in the Halo Universe for the PC? If so, who should make it?

 

Also, what comments do you have in regard to Halo Wars that was made for the Xbox 360?

I don't think 343 Industries is interested in making anything for the PC. Maybe a Halo 3 port when Xbox 360 gets retired, but other than that... Halo is Xbox-only.

 

Not that I wouldn't mind something as awesome as a Halo RTS for the PC

343 did not develop Halo wars.

[Plok 327]

No, but 343 now has all rights to the Halo series. Bungie can be ignored in these discussions.

The better question is this: does anyone really care? I would say no. People who play Halo anything, play on the 360.

Microsoft own the Halo franchise. 343 were created specifically to make future Halo games. Bungie are done with Halo.

 

As for another Halo RTS. That's up to Microsoft, not 343 or Bungie. Halo Wars was made by Ensemble Studios, the same group that made the Age of Empires games. Ensemble Studios is now history these days. They were own by Microsoft as well. Personally, I don't think Microsoft are entirely sold on another Halo RTS, at least not yet anyway. Halo Wars wasn't a huge seller.

 

Just keep Halo as an FPS. It will be interesting to see what 343 can do with Halo 4 later this year.

Halo Wars was underwhelming as an RTS. There was potential but it didn't capitalize on it. At least, it didn't seem to do so when I watched my brother play it.

Most of the Halo mods under development are using the Star Wars: Empire at War engine, with it's space and land battles.

 

Now think of this, lets say you had a game with a similar model, you invade or capture a planet that is flood infected, then it happens that when you move units that have been there to other worlds, the infection will follow. Alternately, they can hijack your interplanetary transport hardware and move in to other worlds.
