Is the Halo Wars so popular because it is a Halo game? If there would be another RTS game - same style with improvements as Halo Wars - would you play it rather than Halo Wars?
I honestly would like to play any sci-fi RTS.
I hated the controls of Command and conquer, RUSE, End War, and the other RTS that I can’t remember what it was called on the console.
I just love the ease of use for Halo Wars. They nailed the commands menu through a radial ring menu that took use of the analog sticks and simple menus.
I would love Halo Wars 2 and would prefer it as the Halo Wars story is an awesome stand alone experience, but I would settle for a another SciFi RTS.
It just needs different races/Factions and I’m good.
I will however miss the ODST and the Quad Mac if the next amazing RTS wasn’t Halo.
I’m honestly not a big fan of RTS games in general. I would not have tried Halo Wars if “Halo” wasn’t in the title.
And I’m glad I did! It’s super enjoyable, even when I don’t know what the hell I’m doing. And I’ve had it since launch. 
I probably wouldn’t. The only reason I bought Halo Wars was because it was a Halo game, but I fell in love with it. I just want a Halo Wars 2.
I love RTS games but not on console… i only bought it cause Halo was in the name, and fell in love with it. I’ve tried C&C and didnt like it at all on console, they did Halo Wars right, although they could improve it.
I bought halo wars because I wanted to see the controls for the game; I was very satisfied and would enjoy a halo wars 2 or a similar sci-fi rts.
Normally i dont play RTSs on anything besides the pc and i got halo wars just for the halo in the title but i am glad that i got it 
HALO WARS is a revolution in rts games. Nothing comes close on console. Star craft looks awesome but I lack the means to play it. Civ rev would prob be my second fav. Serius balance issues and glitches in that game ruin it tho.
For me it is Any Wars. I like Halo universe, but it is not mandatory. I appreciate more good gameplay, simple controls and working mechanics than the game universe.
I would enjoy any rts on xbox, i like rts games. But halo wars was special/better than an rts simply because it was halo
I should probably say though that i did buy this particular one because of the Halo in the title, and that it has a very good structure for console based rts. I dont buy lots of games period just because i dont have the money to waste on potentially good games and find out they werent worth the money. I could justify the risk on a halo game though haha
