It would be a great game with a huge LIVE experience. Also a good reason if ever there was one for an Xbox mouse and keyboard.
Of course, I'd play as the Covenant every time. It would be a great game if done properly

In my opinion, I think that is a stupid idea. If you want to play a Halo/Halo2 RTS, go on like Starcraft or something and play a custom mod game. Halo is all about the gameplay, a RTS would ruin the Halo concept.

It's a decent idea, but it has to be balanced. Most RTS-games tend to end with a player producing as many as possible of a certain powerful unit and then charging the opponent's base. This may be effective, but it would put characters like Elites and Spartans (especially) in a position they would never normally appear in. Just think of what the Master Chief did on Halo (or what a small group of them did on the Unyielding Hierophant) to get an idea of how effective and dangerous one single Spartan can be. I think I'd rather see a tactical game akin to "Commandos" that let you control a squad of Spartans on various missions.

Oh, and rather than that I would of course want to see an FPS Halo 3. Don't mess with a winning streak.

i mean it would be before halo actually happened so it would take place like during fall of reach when there was still plenty of spartans and u would only be able to make so many of a certain unit like spartans

Yes, absolutely, I'm with you 100% on that one.

When I had Starcraft on this comp, I made a great Halo game on it (before first strike) and it had taken place on parts of the halo ring in which a group of marines landed on when trying to escape. Zerg = Flood, and the other species (forgot the name) = covies. It was great, until I deleted it...

Haven't any of you played Myth? Myth would be what a Halo RTS game would be like. It wouldn't be a game for geeky resource nerds like in Starcraft or Warcraft. In Myth it comes right down to combat. If you lose a unit, you can't just go build another one (in single player you MIGHT get reinforcements). Each unit is highly controllable and gets better as it gets more kills (i.e. if a bunch of guys are charging you could tell your experianced archer to attack the leader and all the others to attack normally).

You have complete control over the camera, also, allowing for up close and personal fights. Nothing like Starcraft or Warcraft.
