I think that would be a good idea to make a new top down shooter like spartan assault and spartan strike using HW2 engine and assets, could be a good opportunity for 343 & Microsoft to get back on that concept by pushing it to a further level of gameplay complexity and at the same time detail complexity using the already existing art style and engine of HW2 (it would be stunning to be able to play a top down shooter with that level of details…) and at the same time minimize the cost of development by making use of what’s been done in HW2, could also be a good opportunity to give the shooter fans a bone to chew while waiting for Halo 6 and maybe give more time to the team working on it to polish the final product that the fanbase will have high expectations from?
What do you guys think of it? Maybe we could play some ODSTs on the ark or even red team? (even if I would prefer to save the red team thing for an actually side game that would be an FPS)
I like the idea, loved the concept of Spartan assault…
I wouldn’t mind a new top-down game. Especially if it followed the Banished, maybe a little side story set after Halo Wars 2.
Call it Spartan Blitz or something.
And release it on Xbox like Assault was. And bring back the firefight, maybe even add co-op campaign or something. Maybe even release a sort of MCC-like package for the Spartan games for like $15 that contains Assault, Strike, and Blitz in one game.
I’m glad that I have a few small Halo games on my laptop and phone but I can’t change the controls on PC to suite me (I’m a lefty and can’t use WASD but can’t change the controls to the arrow keys!!!) and the phone version is rather… difficult to play at points.
It would be cool I would hope it would be on the Xbox because I never bought Spartan strike because it was not on Xbox

I know right, I would have -Yoinking!- bought it if they had bothered to release it on xbox, it’s not like it required any real effort considering it’s using some of the older form of UWA stuff, it would require minimal efforts to port, such a shame really, they even brought it to androids, PC & iPhone but not xbox one, this kind of thing is really making me wonder how decisions are made up there at 343 & MS 
Personally I did not like the top down shooters, and Spartan Strike looks like it uses a similar engine to HW2. I would love to see a digital version of Fleet battles that would be dope.

Haha m8, no, just no, this is just not the same kind of complexity, clearly…
