In the a vid from when Halo 1 was first being developed, it looked a lot like an RTS. I've thought of this too, but would sure seem wierd. Nice ideas though.

Halo WAS originally an RTT game like Myth: The Fallen Lords. It evolved from that to a third person action adventure to finally a FPS. The final version of Halo that we have today is VERY different from the original concept idea, developed way back in 1999

Like the idea... alot.

Make it a little more Starcraft-ish though: ie More Flying junk.

Needs more units as well.

And less balance. War II was miserable because if you played as human or orc, it didn't matter, the only difference were the skins

Starcraft had the right idea... things were balanced, but zealots were crazy strong, and they were the marine equvalent, which were crazy week. The zealots could be take out by the weakest unit, the zerg zergling.

Wow... I think I will go play some Starcraft. Damnit... I haven't played that game in 3 years.

A Halo RTS would be cool I think. But not until the FPS series is finished.
Some locations for the game would be the same I.e. Halo 004 and 005, New Mambosa, Reach etc.
This might sound stupid but a bit of 3D space action would be good too, like command the UNSC fleet in defence of Reach from the approaching Covanant fleet until the Pillar of Autumn escapes, that sort of thing. Or maybe that could be another game altogether, like Homeworld. What do you think?

Halogen is a mod for C&C Generals, and it looks awesome. Go check the nice skinned nuclear missile silos.
