Um no. . Halo = FPS

Reach MMO. Here's to hoping.

And the people that believe "the hardcore playlists would be more popular if the rules were strictly MLG" can come off it, now. If you're not willing to support something close to your own setup, there's no reason for us to believe that cloning our own lists and stripping the variety down will attract more people. -- Shishka, Bungie.net

Or RTS.

you're right. a RTS does really bad at being a FPS! /sarcasm

HW was a great game. just because you sucked at it doesn't make it a bad game.
proof? best rated console rts ever. best selling console rts ever. high metacritic score. still ~5000 players online at anytime.

My baasic point was that Halo does not necessarily equal FPS. Halo: Reach will be one. But I really hope they continue to take the Halo universe to different gaming genres.

I lol'ed.

Ratings really mean nothing towards a person's view on an item. No I'm not sure if that comment on being the best selling is right, but sure doesn't seem like it to me. And Halo 2 averages from 3000 to 5000 players a day. It has been out for almost 5 years. Halo Wars has been out for less than a year. If that's a measure of the game, I would say it is not a very good one for Halo Wars.

compare HW with supreme commander. red alert 3. universe at war. lord of the rings. command and conquer 3. and any other rts I have forgotten.... none of them have more than 400 players always online.
to be honest I'd go as far as saying finding a match for 90% of other console rts is impossible because of the very low population.

for a rts, it does really good right now.... which is a proof of it's quality.
and halo wars IS indeed the best selling rts console ever (on any console) and in the 20 of the best selling xbox 360 games ever. (british OXM).

There's a reason console RTSs aren't as popular as PC ones. They are generally of lower quality and content then PC ones. All I'm saying is that if Halo 2 manages to stay alive 5 years later, and Halo Wars is already at Halo 2's population levels in less than a year, that says a lot about people's view and tastes towards the game.

of course it'll eventually die, in 2 years nobody will play it anymore.
the game is horribly easy to play (it's like a strategy game for dummies... seriously. almost no strategy) and lacks everything important in an rts.
however, what makes it a lot better than all other rts on consoles right now is that it was built for the 360, and the controls are very good. not as good as mouse keyboard... but not so far away from it.
there's no doubt in thinking there will be a HW2 (if you couldn't tell by the achievement "ready for the sequel" or the money it brought in), and if they can add more depth to the gameplay, then they'll make the best rts ever on any console.

my point is, for a rts, it's doing very well. C&C3 didn't have so much players left almost a year after it's release.
as you said, rts players are usually pc players... so the number of rts gamers on console is very small compared to the mass of halo fos fanboys and regular action shooter players. you can't expect a RTS to have as much players as an FPS on a console.
