hey, what do you guys think about a strategy game to perhaps follow up the FPS format of Halo?

If anyone knows the Strategy game "Ground Control", this is the kind of format that im referring to - it's a Strategy game,but unlike many others, it focuses less on the base-building aspect, and more on the troop training and attack monuevering.

This would fit the profile of a Halo strategy game perfectly, because there is a lot more references to troop movements in the books and in the game, than the structural side of the year 2552.

So, what would happen, would be that a few simple buildings, a barracks, a few power plants to run the buildings, and a tank factory or something. Then, the main objective would be to create Marines, ODSTs, Warthogs (and other light vehicles), tanks etc. etc. and to simply destroy the Covenant base (or another UNSC base, depending on your choice of enemy).

There could also be upgrades - one of the major one's could be ODST training, which could then be upgraded again, so that the best of the best ODST's, would undergo the augmentation process of the Spartan II project, and become super soldiers.

Hero's could also be a possibility, Sgt. Johnson, with his Flood invunerability (this could become useful in the campaign missions) and his iron strong resilience, the Master Chief - with his incredible speed, battlefield tactics and leadership qualities, and also, some kind of Covenant hero - like the equivilant of the MC or something.

so, after that little introduction into my thoughts on the next step in Halo gaming - do any of you guys out there have anything to add?

P.S. if your gonna flame my idea, i would be obliged if you would e-mail them to me, instead of using up space that Halo Strategy inthusiasts like myself could use for discussion.

Thanks...

You mean like Myth! That's what Halo originally was, a sci-fi Myth.

Thats a good idea, Its just that they would have to introduce many many new vehicles and units to make it actually fun. No one wants to only build warthogs and tanks,
