In depth review of the new "Halo Wars 2":
"The campaign itself is interesting albeit unspectacular. Creative manage to put in just about every strategy campaign mission type into the brief (around eight hour) twelve mission campaign, with the thankful exception of escorting any delicate units. So you’ll spend your time destroying enemy bases, holding out against waves of enemies, capturing objectives or being stealthy with a group of snipers. There’s very little new here, although it is all executed confidently and competently. In terms of control, the Xbox controller was always unlikely to be able to completely replicate a mouse and keyboard. For casual strategy fans, the low unit count and variety, simple base structure (you build on fixed points) and relatively compact maps help counter the complexity. But given that this is a Play Anywhere title, PC fans will probably be less impressed."
The RTS genre has had a rough ride on consoles through the years, but which are the 7 best games available today?
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.
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.
