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.

RTS's generally don't sell much on consoles, so it isn't exactly a great record to achieve. Meanwhile Halo: Reach was the 3rd highest selling game of 2010 according to NPD. Halo Wars was a failure, both from a business sense but also among fans. There is only a small group of fans who actually liked the game, and an even smaller group of hardcore Halo Wars players who thought the game was the second coming of our lord and saviour. A sequel to Halo Wars would most likely tank, because of the majority of fans hated the original. [/quote] The majority of fans are not the smartest group. This is why countries has got a tiny population to run it while the rest can enjoy the stay.

Also, whoever said there should be no Flood is crazy, because i think The Flood should be a playable faction,

[/quote] Failure to notice Halo Wars wasn't built to compete with Starcraft, it was built for the console. I'd like to see where "Nearly all halo fans hated Halo Wars." Not many people playing it? Sure, but how old is it now? Lots of games have been released since it came out.

  • They need to add flood as a playable race. They need a covenant and human campaign. And finally, they need things more complex, keeping the Good control scheme while adding in proper base building and a working unit system (the rock paper scissors system just didnt work)

  • i liked the gameplay of Halo Wars, but i think that if they made a sequel that they should take a few ques from End War in terms of the control scheme, i just thought the end war had the simplest easiest to use control scheme for a console RTS ever. for Halo Wars 2, it should jump maybe 10 years into the future after the first game, and again be a character focused story line, but have the infantry unit be a bit closer to existing canon, also this time, NO FLOOD!!!!, ODST and Reach survived just fine without those green little -blam!-s.

If Halo Wars was not Halo, I doubt I would have even considered that game. Even so, the gameplay was still fun and pretty good. I think it needs improvement, but still good. It introduced me to RTS strategy games. Now, I love 'em. I think it'd be awesome to have a Halo Wars 2 and an ODST 2. [/quote] The game also had one of the best CGI cutscenes ever! [/quote] Andursss

  • I really wanna see a new one. Halo wars is probably the best RTS on xbox and the best i own, but the superunits are way OP, the entire game is biased towards the UNSC, the resource collecting and lack of freebuild means that the ONLY tactic is to build as fast as possible. I want all these things fixed.

  • [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...
