It was supposed to revolutionize real-time strategy into a genre that's just as amazing on consoles as it is on PC. The end result confirmed the longtime cries of PC gamers about things getting dumbed down on consoles. While the game played well, it ended up having a "My first RTS" feel to it, with limited options for base building, unit caps and management. The result was a game that ran its course in a hurry and left players wanting more. The first DLC pack, Halo Wars: Strategic Options added several new game modes, but it still managed to feel like a rip-off at $10. The second problem was that not very many people online actually had the DLC pack, which meant that the players who had paid the $10 were stuck playing the downloadable content on their own instead of with others."
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....
NoobFeed Editor Joshua Burt writes - There are many games in the famous Halo Franchise that are stellar titles and need to be revered. And some that do not. These games stand out from the crowd and deluge of colossal Halo titles. Games that made Halo great. We do need to iron out what qualifies the game for this list. They have to be in the Halo franchise… Obviously.
Halo 3 at the top is correct the only thing id change is swap infinite and halo ce around.
Since debuting on the original Xbox, the amount of games released means it's no easy task to rank the best and worst Halo games.
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.
