I am not sure about how well Microsoft’s investment in Halo Wars has paid of, but I for one loved it. Now that 343 Industries is at the helm of the Halo franchise what are the chances that we will be seeing a sequel to this great experiment in console RTS?
I have my hopes up for some kind of announcement on this next year’s E3 together with the Xbox 720
I think they should I enjoyed it…
THERE NEEDS TO BE A HALO WARS 2, I NEED IT TO FEED MY HALO WARS ADDICTION!!!
I would love to see a sequel also, except this time i would like it to be good. i found the game play simplistic and lacked unit modification. The concept is great and the halo universe definately has the unit diversity to make a great RTS. It will take time and compasion to create an awesome halo RTS, i really hope it happens. Thank you 343, and maybe put out some more podcast.
Halo Wars 2!!!
The only and best RTS game for the consoles. Halo Wars won’t be the best anymore because it’s getting out of date but still a great game. They need to make Halo Wars 2!
Halo Wars 2 is most likely going to be released in 2013, Halo 2: Anniversary in 2014, Halo 5 in 2015, Halo: ODST 2 in 2016, Halo 3: Anniversary in 2017, and Halo 6 in 2018.
I doubt they will make any more anniversary games. As much as I’d like to see a Halo Wars 2, I just don’t think it’s going to happen. Unless we can band together and invest in it/find investors, I don’t think Microsoft would risk it.
I feel like if they made it for console AND PC, the sales would burst through the roof.
It would be great to have a halo wars 2 man it is still fun how many years later? Halo wars 1 is a great base for a sequel to expand upon we could look forward for to the forerunners promethiens and flood. Plus the control scheme is the best on the console it flows really well all their needs to be is large expansion it to what this base is.
I’m 90% sure there will be a halo wars 2 but I don’t think it will come out till 2017
… Halo Wars II - [some subtitle] … Sounds good. I think it would be a realy bad idea not to make a HW2. I think the problem is that there are no ppl who can build the game atm. Also there is the problem: on this generation or next?
The Problem might be, that a complexe game (like a RTS) would be hard to put as one of the 1st games on a next generation console - especially if you want to use kinect (- or something like that). Would take a long devtime, or it will have a bad “polish”.
From storyline aspects? A sequel to HW1. I think thats a must-have after the cliffhanger: After a lot of years Spirit of Fire find something … or something happens. Should be a cool story by itself. May be during the Covenant war (so not after 20 or 30 years … that would be bad imo. So: no prometheans. 
I think HW can carry a bit more of the ‘Halo-Universe’.
I like the game StarCraft on PC. But it has one BIG mistake if you ask me. It is so -Yoink- “objective”. A lot of distance between you and the groups of lifeforms or (especially:) humans.
Remebers me to Brecht … but is kinda boring. Halo Wars is much more emotional, cuz it is subjective - I mean: protagonist VS antagonists … not a lot of groups who fight each other … dunno why Blizzard likes that style. tztz … they only done this because they lack in “telling a story”
Halo Wars is much better and has much more emotion. I actually hate if my rines die 
As long as Halo Wars II would follow the roots of HW1 it will be great (… and stay Controller-Friendly :p). May be with playable flood, too. As long as it won’t turn into Brechts “epic theatre” it will be allright. Also I hope for new vehicles and so on. Halo Wars 1 is a bit … well to easy to overlook imo :). Just make it 10-25% more complex plz.
Iam not the right one who can talk over RTS. I only think Halo Wars should stay a RTS. A FPS with strategic things (like the old game “BattleZone”) could be an other spinoff, but should not be HW2.
… … well for and back to the storyline: what about the spirit of fire finds an old forerunner “builder”-whatever … some kind of gigant world that can construct artificial worlds (not as big as a Halo Ring, but big enaugh) … and then the covenant wants it, too. (A good idea to put in a map editor, too :p).
But then if the covenant nearly gets it; and everything seems lost for the crew of the spirit of fire: The flood apears. Not as enemy, as ally for the humans. Why? Cuz they fear something that the Covenant might find or start. (Similar to the part in H3 where the chief was allied with them). The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
But it is too late, the Covenant started something … an ancient weapon against the flood … and now the builder starts to build it?! An artificial world?! Wouldn’t be to bad, exept that it will destroy everything and kill everyone somehow. That’s why the forerunners canceled this project during the flood war.
Covies are to blind to realise it … so now the humans and the flood will have to stop everything … and kill all the covies. An then (o wonder - the flood will turn against the humans?)
[Just a small idea for a storyline for HW2 … god there are so many great possibilitys in this ‘Halo-Universe’; that’s why I love it :p]
Id love to see HAlo Wars two but if it were to happen id like to see the multiplayer side of things fixed. HAd no issues with the Campain other than it being mostly a teaching tool for multiplayer. BUt id also like to see the super units removed and have something else instead of leaders.
Defo, Halo Wars was a great way to combine two of my favoutite parts of gaming…Halo and RTS’s. It was a gamble and i for one absolutley loved it.
The chances are pretty low, but it would be nice for 343 to look into creating a sequel.
Realtime strategy games are hard to do well on consoles. The controllers are just too limited in my opinion. I feel that they are better suited for PCs. But maybe the game could come with a touch pad and stylus that could be used.
In any case, I really did enjoy the game when I tried it out a few months ago. I will need to get back to it sometime soon.
I think it would be interesting to see a new version of Halo Wars for the Surface. I think that would be an ideal platform. But I could also see some of the audio features of Kinect being useful in Halo Wars as well. The body position recognition might be hard to deal with though.
=d

Halo Wars was a great game that was perfect for first time RTS players. All they need to do now is add more depth and customization! I do not think that would be too difficult to accomplish if they got Robot Entertainment on it, but that is only if they are interested.
I think the chances depends on how well the console RTS games do. Last I checked XCom had decent numbers on the consoles, but it wasn’t a huge runaway hit sales-wise.
