It’s been a couple years since halo wars hit the scene and make a splash in the console rts scene. what do you think is the chance that this game will earn a sequel.
On the new Xbox hopefully.
> On the new Xbox hopefully.
True enough really enjoyed the game and definatly the continuation of it.
Let hope there is a high chance. I enjoyed the game and still play it once in a while.
This is what i think happened and what now can happen.
Halo Wars was created because at the time, the Halo Universe allowed it to happen.
If Halo Wars 2 were to have of came out, there would be little room for a story and that is why i think it hasn’t happened.
But now with a new trilogy coming out and the expansion of the Halo Universe going back 100,000 years, I see a Halo Wars 2 having good potential to coming out with the story line that could set back in time as part of the Forerunner era, but this seems impractical to me, or forward in time along with the Reclaimer Trilogy.
There is room for a story and there is a demand for a sequel but if 343 is planning/making one, i won’t expect to here from it until after Halo 5.
With the Halo Universe expanding, it will happen. The Halo Wars community needs to unite in a way and speak out to waypoint, because the demand for this game is great. Putting it in the franchise of something like Halo would bring in a big audience alone, and with a lot of people missing RTS action on the console, it would sell well.
I personally would love for Halo Wars 2, I still play it today <3

That is what we are trying to do - show 343 we want Halo Wars 2 and we have a big voice.
I really don’t think we will see one. 343 will be making the mainstay Halo for years to come with the new trilogy they have planned. I doubt they will go with nor would the company that reformed after the closing of ensemble accept. I think they killed the company off after this game because they wanted to be independent frin microsoft. And there are no other companies that have showed they can make a good console RTS.
I really hope they do make another wars as this is one of my all time favorite games.
I think the studio that made halo wars got shut down, so there is about a 0% chance.
I really hope that even though ensemble has been closed that 343 will see how even after all this time people still play halo wars and that there will be a consumer base to sell it too
so people dont forgett to vote … lets show them that it is a worthy investment
potentially yes, but there won’t be a sequel for a long time.
It’s doubtful, you forget Ensemble no longer exists so the mantle of creating a sequel would fall to 343i who seem to have no interest in making anything thats not a FPS. Don’t get me wrong I would love to see a sequel but even if 343 would be willing to make a sequel I’m not sure if they should, at least not by themselves as the developers haven’t (As far as i know) made an RTS before. There’s also the issue of can they get the license to make a HW2?
There will be a sequel.
I’m pretty confident that Halo Wars 2 will happen it’s just a matter of when not if, with the new halo trilogy maybe there might be a way to tie in Halo Wars 2 to it. 343 is everything halo now so i don’t just see them making FPS they have well over 200+ people and are still hiring. Halo Wars 2 at this point might come out with the xbox 720 and the even though Ensemble is no longer 343 can work with another studio that’s known for making RTS games like they worked Certain Affinity on the halo reach multiplayer maps or just make it themselves in house. When Halo Wars came out it became the best selling console RTS and sold well over 1 million copies so i don’t think sales is a problem of not getting a sequel.
Speaking personally as i’ve mainly played games on consoles Halo Wars was my first RTS experience and since halo is my favorite franchise i enjoyed the game being in the Halo Unverise and adding to the lore. I don’t think Halo wars is being forgotten halo 4 is the main focus right now after that we might hear of other things 343 has planned for halo as a whole and of course halo 5.
I sure do hope it does happen…
Frank O’Conner seems like he has no interest in RTS games.
> Frank O’Conner seems like he has no interest in RTS games.
he lacks the vision needed to see the first successful console rts sequel.
I think halo wars was great, so I real hope they make a 2nd. I also they do on it PC and Xbox 360. If they do the should add more new unit also new playable fictors, Also they made a Playable balace Flood Fictors, could be base in the time the halo 3/4 or another time.
I think they might, but it most likely won’t as Microsoft doesn’t own a studio that can do this… Unless 343 will rise to the challenge.

Or they get Robot Entertainment to do the sequel because most of the the poeple that worked on Halo Wars is now at Robot Entertainment and if you bet Halo Wars on legendary left on a cliffhanger like Halo 3. Back when Halo 3 days everyone was hopeing for Halo 4 but we didn’t get it untill 343 mabay Halo Wars 2 might follow the same path.
