Hi.

I would love a sequel, however, it's definitely not coming anytime soon.
If you expect a sequel, expect it around 2013/2014. Maybe by then, we'll have the next gen of Xbox.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Also, is it just me, or do the Halo Wars Soldiers look completely badass?


How about their Spartans? Or better: those Elites!


The Elites were bloody awesome! Especially in the "5 Long Years..." cutscene where they start charging the humans with their dual wielded Energy Swords, Banshees and what-not. Halo Wars reached a cinematic scale none of the other Halo games (and not many games in general) could hold a candle to.

Haha. Yeah, I think it's safe to say all the characters looked the best in Halo Wars. Largely due to the amazing cinematics/graphics.

If they make a 2nd one they should have a campaign for each race and have base building/expansion like starcraft or C&C.

I kno wat u mean. When i first saw the trailer while lolligaging at gamestop wit my friends, i thought it would be awesome. then i decided to download the demo, and i was lik WTF. is this halo?

  • 08.07.2011 9:44 PM PDT

Halo Wars I still play to this day and will play for hours on end. I felt the gameplay was good, but could have been expanded alot more. I really don't understand all the hate on Halo Wars?

Great DAY

I don't see why you people are going ballistic about a second Halo Wars, if it does come out, so what? Then don't buy it. You guys are acting like you're being forced to buy it.

  • 08.07.2011 10:55 PM PDT

IMO...Halo Wars wasn't a bad game...I actually find it fun to play with friends...

BUT!...I will say this...IT COULD HAVE BEEN SOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER!!!

I honestly think the game would've been better if they did two simple things differently...Increased "population" count(or whatever you wanna call it) and training of specific infantry,example:

You have your Marines,but your Marines are divided in different categories...
-Close Range
-Medium Range
-Long Range
-Medics
-Engineers

And when a specific category is maxed out...THAT'S when you get an ODST specialized in THAT area.

Same with the Covenant...

Its not my actions that define me, but under what light I'm being looked upon.


Me after a physics lecture "So what you're saying is, non of it actually exists"
Yellow box "and I thought we were crazy"

Halo wars two won't come out for one simple reason, sales.
halo wars was an attempt at broadening the halo franchise's potential buyers however there was a problem. people who played RTS's were experiencing a much faster, story based game which didn't really suit them so most won't buy number two to be dissapointed by the fact it is'nt a very good RTS game (although it is a good game). secondly, as a general rule people like strategy or fast playing games trying to make a bridge between the two generally dosen't work as (halo wars sales show being the lowest of any halo game).
therefore I would look forward to another ensemble strategy game with similar play as a low budget game, but not halo wars two.

  • 08.08.2011 1:07 AM PDT

Sales aren't that important in every case.
Halo Wars sold little over 2 million copies. There have been plenty of games with less sales that got sequels.
Mass Effect for instance never reached more than 3 million copies. ME1 even sold just slightly better than Halo Wars and still got a sequel.
Alan Wake for instance only sold 1 million copies and is reported to get (a) sequel(s).

And then we get to the problem I've adressed before: the majority of the people here are comparing a slightly pioneering console RTS game (the first one to work properly, after years of true fails by the likes of AoE 2 on PS2 and C&C) with established PC RTS games.
While we should see them as separate genres (for the time being). And in the console RTS genre Halo Wars is the best you can get.

It put down a solid base on which a sequel could expand and improve on with more options etc. But in order to expand like that, developers need to understand that they need to get rid of the limitations of the controller alone and need to make use of Kinect with its voice and motion controls (in combo with the controller). If that step is taken properly, you will inevitably see the console RTS genre improve.

As for the people saying "is this a Halo game?" being their first response: had you been hiding under a rock? Didn't you read or watch any previews or reviews?
Its the same as with all the bashing on Reach's gameplay being different: it was stated to be different for well over a year (and more), so its your own fault you were expecting anything other than the RTS that it is.

I would like a Halo Wars 2, but it needs to be WAY more advanced than the first.

For example, it should have a building sequence similar to Starcraft that lets you build WHEREVER you want, and not just at one firebase or citadel.

i really now think that the fps genre is becoming overcrowded and people should make more games other than fps so i think that there should be a halo wars 2

Gotta love people saying I hate strategy games. I played Starcraft every day for at least six years, AoE for at least two years, and C&C for a couple months.

Halo Wars is crap compared to most RTS games, that being said, there's no point to making a sequel, because unless major gameplay elements were changed, the game would still be crap compared to most RTS games, therefore, there would be no point in playing it.

The people who play it, obviously can't play real RTS games, or have no idea what a real RTS game is like, hmm Halo Wars or Starcraft 2? I'd take Starcraft 2 any day.


I think you don't understand...

I think Halo Wars was great RTS game, it had superb storyline and at least, good gameplay. However it is not like PC RTS games which it is superior. I don't see how why it is pointless to play. That's your opinion, it matters nothing when to majority, I'm afraid.

And you shouldn't start with petty insults like "we can't play real RTS games". That is obvious dumb statement, which it makes your argument more useless.

Please go to DonVinzone1's posts about Halo Wars before making foolish posts, okay?

I hate how much hate there is for all the games which didnt follow the Master Chief Story arc, Wars was one of them. It was a brilliant game but got so much hate which it didnt deserve. If they increased the army size, had better gameplay graphics, a sequel would be brilliant.

if halo was a 3rd person mac game it would suck watch the new vidoc

  • 08.08.2011 5:36 AM PDT

Starcraft 2, thats all im going to say

Starcraft 2, thats all im going to say


Age of Empires 2, thats all im going to say.

Seriously, SC2 isn't the holy grail of RTS gaming.
And don't act as if the almighty "we're going to chop the game in 3 parts" SC is flawless. Rushing is just as common and annoying in SC2 as it is in HW. And thats just for starters.

  • 08.08.2011 10:05 AM PDT

I'd love a Halo Wars 2, I find it incredibly fun to play. And I'm sure if they did do a sequel they would improve on the amazing console-RTS template laid out by Ensemble.

Since I'm dreaming here, I'd love them to do a RTS/FPS mix (which I'm sure I saw another game at least attempting, I forget what it was called though. I think it was canned anyway) whereby you could, say, train a Spartan, and then jump into FPS to actually fight First-Person as that Spartan.

I for one think that would be sweet. Unlikely at best though.
