For years I played Halo… But Halo Wars stood out to me as something special. A month before Xbox One was released I was playing so much Halo Wars I felt myself becoming addicted. I could not stop playing it and I never got bored of how slow paced some of my matches went for… Which was a good thing… But now… After watching every game from Combat Evolved to Halo 4 get traded in at Eb Games… I watched my whole life be traded in for my stupid Australian currency…
Now I have an Xbox One and no Halo games… I am lost without my Halo’s…
Halo Wars was something special and I am very saddened to not have another RTS Halo game nor think we will ever see one…
Phil Spencer just recently talked about how he enjoys Halo Wars. Hopefully we will see more Halo Wars in the future. It can replace Spartan Ops and we can all be happy. 
I could never live with trading in a single Halo game. I never even trade in games that I don’t play, let alone games I love. I agree with you about Halo Wars being something special. There’s something very satisfying about being in command of UNSC or Covenant troops. Fingers crossed that another Halo Wars game isn’t too far into the future.
I will live forever empty inside without my Halo, however, at least someone out there will come by and find my copies and they too can experience the joy I had…
