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.
