NZGamer writes: "In fact, Halo Wars is the most accessible traditional RTS game we've ever tested - it works, and works well. It's fun to play with varied maps, varied missions and is literally jam-packed with "Halo-ness". The sights, the sounds and the raw feel of the game is Halo to the core. If you're even slightly interested in RTS games and like Halo even a little bit, you should check this out. If you want to see a proper RTS game done well on a console, Halo Wars is every bit worth checking out. If you happen to love RTS games and Halo, well, why did you even read this far? Halo Wars is what you'd expect when you entrust the masters at Ensemble (never forget) with making an RTS game set in Bungie's epic. It's rock solid".
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.
