If so, then how? If not, then why?

I fail to see how The Halo Universe could be played as an RPG..

The Halo Universe and it's canon is pretty set and straightforward. I'm not sure there is room, (Or enough for that matter) for a solid RPG, with a story line, to be interjected.

Unless, however, the RPG consisted of you going around to the different colony worlds, fighting off rebels, and doing small things of the such.. And if that would be the whole game, or at least the better part of it, it wouldn't be that interesting or enjoyable to play.

No, military RPGs don't work well. RPGs are best when it's free roam, don't take orders from anyone but yourself, and have complete control over what happens.

This. I couldn't see Halo working as an RPG very well.

NO IT WOULD RUIN THE UNIVERS OF HALO AS A FPS WHICH IS WHAT MADE IT GREAT

Flood's and Universe's Warhammer 40k fanatic and the one who knows much about it.

I also like House Stark and winter, hurr.

Limiting RPG options to only video games seems quite unwise, due it's limitations.

Pen and paper RPG could be great, and also allow so many more things that are impossible to be done in games.

I am the God Emprah of Mankind.

Deal with it.

It could work, but it would need a lot more work then what's normally put into a Halo game's story. I think to make a good Halo RPG they would need to work 100% on the Campaign to pull it off.

Which is why the Forerunner era is the perfect story for an RPG

It wouldn't have to be a military RPG.

In my eyes, a Halo RPG could work beautifully if done in a similar style to Mass Effect. Say you start with your protagonist, a Sangheili from long before the Human-Covenant war. You'd start out akin to the Dalish from Dragon Age: Origins, you discover some ancient piece of Forerunner (Eluvian) technology which draws you to the Covenant, as you progress you get a ship and a crew, you get to access a galaxy map to explore various locations in search of Forerunner relics.

If done correctly, it could be a fantastic hypothetical game.

EDIT: Or an Elder Scrolls/Mass Effect style Forerunner RPG would be just as amazing. Plenty of opportunities for the plot to go many places and some absolutely amazing environments (the Capital!) could be implemented.

I Like Whale Genitals.

It originally was planned to be that kind of game, until the main developer said they were making it an FPS.
I think Halo will be an awesome RPG, just don't make it like Halo Wars, sure, it was "good" in a way, just a bit boring.
