Halo Wars wasn't a bad game, but it's like the ugly step child of the Halo games. It sold poorly compared to the other Halo games and the majority of fans act like it never even existed. It has a very small cult following but a part from that the game under performed.
By adding 'Halo' into the game, it generated extremely high expectation. So much so, that the game was destined to be die. The game probably would of performed better if it wasn't a Halo game, since no one would of expected it to live up to the previous Halo games.
I hate to be negative but Halo should stay as an FPS. It really should be obvious why.
Halo Wars was a great game and a lot of people loved it. Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean there shouldn't be another HW's game. I think it'd sell even more then last time. Btw, it was the best-selling console RTS. Just sayin'.
And I hate to be negative, but Halo Wars was waaay better then Reach. It really should be obvious why.
Halo Wars is the most basic RTS at best. Have you actually played Starcraft 2? You'd be in for a reality check.
If Halo Wars was loved by 'a lot of people' then why is game not in the top ten LIVE list. Last time I checked there were only 1000 people playing the game still. Meanwhile Halo: Reach is 3rd with at least 1 million players per week. Halo: Reach is the inferior game is it? Not according to the rest of the world.
Halo Wars was a failure, both from a business sense but also among fans. There is only a small group of fans who actually liked the game, and an even smaller group of hardcore Halo Wars players who thought the game was the second coming of our lord and saviour.
There is enough people to play it: 6000-10000, even 12000 in weekends.
It was a success, just because people don't play it doesn't mean it sucks.
Also, whoever said there should be no Flood is crazy, because i think The Flood should be a playable faction,
