"Reading through user-heavy websites and a couple of forums here and there, I've seen little hype for Halo Wars despite the first three Halo games selling extremely well and basically being the console selling titles for the Original Xbox and the 360. The only person-or company- I've seen hype this game up is Microsoft. When it comes to exclusive titles, I haven't seen much coming from Microsoft. I know there are ton's of great games coming out the 360, but most will also be seeing a release on the PS3 as well."
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.
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.
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!
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.
All the Sony fanboy blogs were posting that the 360 has no games for 2008 and that 2008 would be the year that the PS3 would take the lead. Just because 360 owners don't feel the need to hype the hell out of every game coming out a year from now doesn't mean they games aren't coming. The Sony fanboy machine is born of desperation anyway and to the average consumer it is really transparent.
I mean, really, do we need 10 articles a day hyping God of War 3 when there isn't even a release date or even a playable demo available yet. Just have a little patience. the constant, obnoxious fanboy hype did very little for littlebigplanet. MS will deliver and there is no need to spam N4G with stupid hype articles/blogs until the game is due for release within a month or two. With that said I won't even bother to list the numerous 360 exclusives due out in 2009 that the ill-informed writer of this article, "never heard of." Back in 2007 when I was talking about Fable 2 most Sony fanboys had never heard of that either. True story.
...that a RTS isn't the perfect genre to sell millions. Despite this, Halo Wars can be a successful game with 1-1.5m copies sold worldwide.
I loved LOTR: BFME 2 so I'm pretty excited about this.
Of course their is a lot of excitement for this game. RTS type games have been working on the 360. All the other ones have been pretty successful. Not to mention this is done by some of the best RTS people around. This is going to be a big seller, no doubt.
