Sadly, I believe a sequel to Halo Wars is it’s only hope. As much as I, along with other loyal Wars fans, love the game…It’s just not played enough. My xbox is in need of repair and I haven’t played Halo Wars in a long time. However, back when I last played it, I remember there wasn’t many people on. I can’t image what it’s like now. I can only hope that there’s at least an OK, steady number of people online. It’s a shame to see such a great game get kicked under the rug. Anyway, the reality of it is, I don’t think many people are going to come back to Halo Wars. So, realistically, I think it’s only hope is to come out with a sequel. All of you, along with me, don’t want Halo Wars to be forgotten. I know that for a fact. Just look at Cherokee’s “Don’t Forget Halo Wars” thread. We all don’t want it to be forgotten. But, that may just happen if 343 doesn’t make a sequel or doesn’t include Halo Wars into the story more. So, please 343, hear our pleas and get a company like Ensemble (who won’t butcher Halo, or it’s lore) and make us Halo Wars 2!
Halo Wars will most likely not happen but Frankie said at HaloFest that the Halo Wars story may be incorporated into the later Halo games. Most likely Halo 5 or Halo 6.

Yeah, you’re right. It’s understandable that they’re focusing more on Halo 4 and (hopelessly) trying to fix Reach. But, I still think they should at least try to do something with Halo Wars.

Halo wars was not a Bungie game, neither is it a 343 game now.
They just adopted the forums for it to have the whole Halo universe under their wing.
Even their name ‘343’ is Halo related.
Halo wars is also an old game already, RTS arn’t the biggest hits on consoles and i’m pretty sure the creators of Halo Wars just made it because they wanted to share a story on the Halo universe and do a Halo RTS (Halo:CE was originally meant to be a RTS).
It would be nice to see a second game RTS style, continuing the story about the Spirit of Fire and Douglas, Jerome and Alice.

and i’m sorry, i don’t remember the last time there was an RTS for a CONSOLE
OT: people say that HW will be Incorporated into the “Reclamer” trilogy, i sure hope so
because that could mean that 343 might add HW vehicles to the next HALO’s, and i would LOVE that

I wasn’t trolling, I was stating that halo wars 2 is the only obvious and practical way forward.

I know Halo Wars wasn’t a Bungie game. The game is now under Microsoft. We’ve tried contacting Microsoft about Halo Wars, but they won’t listen. We need 343 to get -Yoink!-'s attention focused on Halo Wars at least for a short time…
Not just BS Angel… the whole 343 team. I doubt that’ll happen though.
i think units should have certain ‘paths’ they should go down- for example, the warthog.
start-warthog-nothing
path one-
troop hog
upgrade 1-roll cage
adds a roll cage to the back, allowing a squad of marines or a spartan in the back.
upgrade 2-armour plating
adds armour to protect marines from enemy fire andgiving the warthog more overall strength
path 2-default warthog
pretty much the warthog we know and love now.same upgrades.
path 3-rocket hog
upgrade 1-
halo CE rocket hog, low range,damage and no lock on
upgrade 2- REACH rockets
upgrades to reach warthog,lock-on,increased range and damage
once your unit starts on a certain path,they cant change. they dont have to have 3 paths, for example- the wraith, standard and AA variants or falcon(if its in) default, troop(allows a squad of marines) and grenade launcher from campaign.banshee-default and space variants.
if you can think of anymore let me know but there the ones i can think of!

I agree, simply because Halo Wars is a steaming load compared to any other RTS. It only got a pass because it had “Halo” in the name. Halo Wars 2 will need to distance itself quite a bit from its predecessor for it to actually have a real chance.

I also agree, but when that Arbiter comes with banshees and tanks, BAAM!
