Subject: Who is in Control? Halo Wars:

This is a tad bit of old news...

Bungie your passing the Lightning bolt to 343 to continue onward to your own projects. But I noticed something, We do not have a Halo Wars forum channel. and Ensemble studios disbanded by Microsoft Link

So Ensemble has become an Independant Company, Microsoft disbanded its contract with them after Halo Wars comes out.

But who owns the rights to Halo Wars of making a possible sequal? I don't think 343 has them.

Thats what I thought, But doesn't Esnemble have(had?) the Copywrite of their custom made characters? i.e. John Forge, Spirit of Fire ship, The Previous Arbiter, Spartan Red Team, Captain Cutters etc. ?

cars, girls & cake all day everyday

A sequel? For Halo Wars? Hahaha!
Halo Wars is still owned by Microsoft, but it's unlikely we're going to see anything else with Halo Wars...

In wine there's truth but in silence there's surrender.

I really want to see a halo wars 2. It gets boring being a general after a while.

Its been years and I finally got a chance to play it and I fell in love with it. There is so much potential for a sequal. But it wouldn't be the same w/o the original crew(read post above about copywrite problems?)

I guess, and since Starcraft 2 is being all the rage, I bet it would be hard to compete in prices..

Did u know the original Halo was gonna be a RTS? RTS Halo shows you a dif persective of how to fight a war besides the way we know with the other console games. Plenty of potential here. sadface.

Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo Reach, Halo wars are all property and rights claimed by Microsoft.

That means if anyone makes a second Halo Wars game that it will be under Microsoft control. In this case with 343 in the driver seat of the name at this time that means 343 could make a second if they wish.

"No, Hoobla. No."

RTS is dead ... well, dying... No one likes these anymore, its just to bland. I mean there is no story, take the cutscenes away and you have "send a vehicle here, send some troops there" its just boring...

Dude... Everything that is in the Haloverse, is owned by Microsoft. Characters, Locations, etc... that are made up of course.

Because he's the blanket this bed deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him, because he can take it. Because he's not our blanket. He's a silent quilt. A watchful comforter. A Dark Linen.

Definitely not. I'm pretty sure they're still way more popular on computers than consoles, though.

What are we supposed to be discussing here?


"Nothing in the 'Verse can stop me."

I like how no one brings up that Ensemble Studios closed down and is no longer operating.
