Halo Wars 2 - Release Plausible
I've been thinking about Halo Wars 2 and come to the conclusion that a release is possible. And even been thinking about a logical release date.
Halo Wars was a great game, in my opinion the most entertaining RTS game out there. But when you come to think of it, it's not the gameplay that made it a huge success, it was for the fact that it was a Halo game.
Now, if Halo Wars 2 was ever to be released, it would most likely be tied close to another Halo game release.
I'm doubting we will see Halo Wars 2 as a "standalone", but rather Microsoft will build up on the Halo brand and get another hype started. So that they could maximize the potential in marketing success and sales.
Halo Wars was released a between 2 big Halo titles, Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST. Everyone was excited about Halo and even people who had never played RTS games bought Halo Wars just for the "Halo" untop.
So, in my opinion. If we are ever going to see another Halo Wars title, it's going to be close to a release of another Halo title.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] grey101 Seeing how the next book in the forerunner saga is going to deal with the shield worlds i have a large feeling that halowars is going to go from "un-canon" (and the game is canon) and "crappy" to being mindblowing once the importance and backstory is explained. Hell, i should probably made a thread on that.[/quote] hahaha thats true! I bet a lot of the people here will suddenly add Halo Wars to their own little [i]fanon[/i] once the Cryptum sequels will deal with the matter. Kind of how at first lots of Legends episodes were garbage, but once Cryptum and Cole Protocol came along those episodes were suddenly cool as hell... Im talking about first dismissing Elite culture and "Forerunner structures" and later accepting it...
