"1) Halo Wars Wasn't an FPS
2) Halo Wars was a great game in its own genre
3) 343 Industries didn't make Halo wars.
You can't say that 343 industries wont do good and bring Halo wars to back it up. Halo wars had nothing to do with it."
Thank you for bringing that up. This thread is full of idiots (with the exception of you and two others).
To those idiots:
I would like to point out that Bungie is making Halo: Reach.
Ensemble = Halo Wars
Bungie = Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo: Reach, possibly more in the future
343 Industries = Other future projects but, to my knowledge, they have not made a game yet. To say they are bad before producing anything is completely stupid.
I would also like to point out that it is made up of several important former Bungie members. Think of them as "Bungie # 2"
Comparing Halo Wars to future releases by this title, is a legitimate argument. Bungie does Halo. There was so much about the look and feel of Halo Wars that just didn't line up with the what I've come to know as Halo. Why? why was it so different? Because a different studio produced it.
And no Halo Wars was not "great" in it's own genre.
Definition of "great"
4.)wonderful; first-rate; very good
5.)being such in an extreme or notable degree
6.)notable; remarkable; exceptionally outstanding
7.)important; highly significant or consequential
8.)distinguished; famous
Halo Wars was NOT great. I'm not sure how you can say that unless you don't know what a real RTS is like.
Saying it's great in it's genre would be like comparing it to something like Starcraft. It's been around over ten years, and is still played heavily.
It cheapened and changed the epic sci-fi created by this studio and it's fiction. Bungie has opted out of making more Halo games for the time being, because Halo has had it's day. And it was a good day. They left it open at the end for more, in case they ever wanted to come back to this title someday down the road. The idea of M$ milking the franchise with their own production studio is appalling. M$ will make a Halo 4 and possibly a five and six, and it will go on and on and on as this commercial machine.
Bungie did it first and did it right. An endless supply of sequels, will only kill it.
We can hope for 343 to do good to the title, but with M$ reputation I am very skeptical. Just the fact that Bungie has refused to make Halo 4 and M$ taking it upon themselves. Is just milking the cow.
And no one ever said Reach was being made by someone else. To say we're all idiots and that we don't know what we're talking about, is in itself ignorant and idiotic not to mention arrogant.
