Ensemble: Is Halo Wars going to suck now?

Via Official Halo Wars wesbite:

"That's a totally fair question. The Ensemble Studios' closure announcement certainly affects the perception of Halo Wars. Despite that risk, we put our people first. Telling our employees ASAP was the right thing to do. I give Microsoft quite a bit of credit for letting us do that.

Finishing the game will be harder now, but it will get done and be great."

AKA, MS has their new console RTS division. Look for Console version of Age of Empires in the future and kiss the future PC versions goodbye.

running rampid5702d ago

short answer. NO, i don't think it will suck.

Fux4Bux5702d ago

I'm sure it's going to be just as terrible.

Rock Bottom5702d ago

Ensemble hasn't made a sucky game yet, I'm sure it will be something worth playing, however, they haven't made an "AAA" game since the first Age of Empire, IMHO.

predator5702d ago

I think it will be awesome

Panthers5702d ago

Im just going to say I hope... I also hope for a PC port.

BigKev455702d ago

It was going to suck either way.

blackbeld5702d ago

All HALO series are extremely overhyped. correction all 360 games are extremely overhyped!!

Freezingduck5702d ago

"is...going" vs. "already...is"

AngryXbot5702d ago

Since when was this generic RTS for CONSOLES for crying out loud ever going to be great to begin with?

This game was just another Too Human.

Its a generic RTS and its made for consoles. RTS dont work on consoles no matter what people claim.

The only exception may be for the PS3 because PS3 can use keyboard and mouse.

Looks like the Random Disagree Monster is loose again...

As for the topic...I sure hope not.

The Halo Wars Formula Has Potential to Fit More Microsoft Franchises

Halo Wars is still widely considered one of the best and most accessible RTS games around, and that formula could work with other Microsoft IPs.

I think Crackdown would fit in a more turn-based tactics system via Xcom then a RTS type game play. Being able to customize multiple agents, deploying that group in an crime infested urban zone, going against other super powered enemy and fodder type thugs. The potential for that is huge if they won't do another successful, ground breaking, GOTY open world outing like Crackdown 3....

P_Bomb406d ago

I could see that. I feel like State of Decay could spin-off into something strategic as well.

giovonni405d ago

Actually that would be kind of fly if they made it a turn base RTS.

lellkay42d ago

Crackdown tactics would be legit!!

Halo CE over Halo Infinite anyday

Not to mention the impact it had at the time

Flawlessmic715d ago

Halo 3 at the top is correct the only thing id change is swap infinite and halo ce around.

AuraAbjure715d ago

Halo 4 best campaign and multiplayer. Halo 3 best story.

ChubbyBlade714d ago

Are you trying to give people cancer?

AuraAbjure714d ago (Edited 714d ago )

Halo 4 has the hottest Cortana too which explains why the MC is the hardest in that campaign and why H4's multiplayer is the illest. Chief ain't afraid to take on teleporting enemies that can one hit melee kill.

I feel like I see these articles often. Either way, just going by main titles as a whole package not just on MP I’d say;
Best 2,3,1,4,5 worst.
Story only;
Best 1,2,3,4,5 worst.
MP only
Best 2,3,5,1,4 worst.

Popsicle991d ago (Edited 991d ago )

Great list Deathdeliverer! The only place we differ is that I would put Halo 3 MP over Halo 2 MP, but gaming preferences are subjective and there are really no right or wrong answers. We match exactly on everything else. And yes, these list are made all the time, but they still get me to click on them. Lol!

Deathdeliverer991d ago

I was really torn between the two so I’ll call it a toss up. They are head and shoulders above the other Halo Mps. It’s Halo 2/3 (in any order) then a pause, then the rest.
