- motang, on 10/12/2007, -1/+58Didn't Halo start out as an RTS game. I shall be looking forward to this one.
- NinjAlt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+39I guess all those people who said Halogen didnt compete with bungie must feel like real ***** now.
- moiety, on 10/12/2007, -1/+34Well this explains why Microsoft shut down that player-made Halo RTS (Halogen) recently.
http://halogen.slipstreamproductions.net/ - zorplex, on 10/12/2007, -2/+33Halo was originally announced as a Mac RTS.

- aplardi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18Yeap, for more info check the Wiki

It's actually an interesting story on how it went from a Mac game to a PC game to a Console Shooter - SourWorm, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16Did you notice the "hidden" text at the bottom that is visible if you highlight it?
"We'll be Back and legal, soon!
Everyone who has a first breath
Has a last breath
Every civilization that lays a first brick
Has a final, darkest hour...
For the humans of Tau1 Gruis...
That time is now. " - TheSaladMan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13A console only RTS? Err, isn't that one of those game genres that always ***** up when put on console?
- DarkPhoen1x, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12Um, Bungie was planning an RTS long before Halogen came about, i'm sure. Though it would be nice if they could endorce the mod instead of shut it down, like they're doing with Red Vs. Blue.
- badgrafix, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11well PC RTS' that are ported to consoles usually don't do good. This is being developed for xbox360, and if done right i can see this title rocking hard core.
- TheThirdWheel, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12Weird, it's like I just read that...where did I read that again? Oh yeah, TFA.
- Chicken, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12You can't micro for ***** on consoles.
- Mejogid, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9I completely fail to see why MS is releasing an RTS exclusively for their console. Ensemble Studios have always worked on PC games, and Halo was for Mac & then PC when it was an RTS games. So many parts of an RTS don't work with a couple of joysticks... they're the perfect example of a genre that needs a keyboard and mouse.
I don't see why MS has to release a 360 exclusive that would not only be extremely easy to port to PC, but would actually be a better game with a keyboard & mouse. It better not delay AOE4... - butlershouse, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8okay so Ill confess to not reading the article.. but for the title alone.. my mind went to
"oooooh shiny " - Metlprocker, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Why would you make an RTS exclusive to a console system and not bring it to a PC?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4@SolidSamus
Have you seen the in-game screenshots from TGS?
ChillyEli, you may resume eating. - ChillyEli, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Great......now I'm guarenteed to buy a Wii AND an Xbox 360.......
PLEASE Sony do not come out with something that REALLY catches my attention. I may not eat ever again. - KanosWRX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Why not make it a PC game too, just add mouse support to the XBOX. Thats one thing I really don't get is why they don't allow mouses for consoles. I would much rather play a RTS or FPS with a mouse on a console then with an analog stick and some buttons on a gamepad.
- miketuck3r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4halo games will always be on the xbox first simple really, with th epc getting scraps a few years later ;-)
- GuitaristTom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3haha burned...
- kingace, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4There had damn well better be a Spartan 117 hero.
- smellythai, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7I'm pretty much scared. This game is not being made by bungie. RTS's normaly dont do well on consoles due to the controler imput instead of keyboard and mouse.
- Nobi-Wan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Right. I said your chances are pretty good.
- Balanced, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I believe most of the early ideas were more of an FPS with RTS elements... I.E. squad-based FPS with some way to command troops. The 'big deal' of even the earliest demos was really the physics, though... And Bungie was known for putting pretty developed story-line into their games, even though they generally followed the model of taking an established genre and twisting it.
- MatttK, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7It has been proven time and time again that the RTS genre does not work on consoles.
It would really suck, however, if it sold highly just because it was Halo, causing developers to move RTS games to console first, PC afterthought, as first person shooters have often become (probably thanks to Halo). - Nobi-Wan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Um, did you see the shot of about 20 Spartans at the end? I'd say your chances are pretty good.
- GhostToon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Master chief has jumped the shark
- miketuck3r, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4the guys developing halogen where offered jobs at bungie to work on this game..
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2heh, cause then you'd have a pc.
- SPARTACVS, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3First off, this game is not made by Bungie. Second of all, according to Ensemble's website, the video is prerendered, but it uses IN GAME MODELS 0_o .
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I think the game will suck on the PC, but on the xbox it will offer something of great gameplay. Given that Halo was the first FPS which offered great controls on the xbox, and when it came to the PC it was overshadowed by great games such as Half Life 2, counterstrike, etc (in terms of control and gameplay).
The reason this game will only work on the xbox is, because it is being developed first and foremost for the 360 itself, a lot of FPS shooters go to the PC and then a console, they finally decided to focus on one thing and do it without having the idea of porting the game until very late in the year in their heads.
I think this game is going to kick ass on the 360, but I think Supreme Commander, Command and Conquer 3, Company of Heroes have and will kick it's ass when it comes to the PC.
No offense. Just like Halo, it's made for the xbox. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Sweet back to it`s original design. Halo RTS is going to be a great new perspective on the Halo universe!
- DreadPirateWes, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I thought he jumped it with Halo 2...
- SPARTACVS, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3The Battle for Middle Earth 2 guys nailed RTS console controls, IMO, and obviously alot of the people who reviewed it. They made a deep PC RTS, and didn't neuter it in any way on 360. Console RTS controls ARE possible.
- ricree, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4"FPS and RTS are 2 genres that require a keyboard and mouse to play well."
Considering the console success of the Halo series, I'd say that this hasn't proved a problem in the FPS genre. - ntnwwnet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I think I just pissed myself.
- yagoogaly, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4"*sigh* im glad im right again on predicting a halo RTS 2 years ago"
Halo was orginally an RTS - NikoKun, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2RTS games will be wonderful on the Wii... there wont be much difference when compared to an RTS on the PC.
- Aharoni, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't believe the flood will be featured in the game... I mean, the settings take place before Halo 1 does...
- NSMike, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I wonder if it will use any functionality from the new camera. There are demos of control schemes being developed for the camera. We may see some of the more common RTS controls typically done with the keyboard replaced with gestures.
- wozley, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Trailer looks kick ass. But even though I'm pretty interchangeable on FPS for console and PC, I'd much rather have an RTS on PC.
- Xpiatio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I wish the play would be like what is viewed in the trailers. The trailers look awesome and intriguing. But we all know the game play will be less than what we will hope for. Finally we get to see more than one Spartan fighting Covenant @$$.
- hcl40u, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Similar thing happened with Star Wars and its RTS game.
- Darkwalt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It all makes sense now. They shut down halogen, and now they're maing this. I look foward to what the guys at RvB can do now with this too. Also, I think that it's cool that bungie is allowing other studios to branch out the storyline and flesh it out a bit more.
- lomis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2That has to be one of the best made trailers for a video game I have ever seen.
- rich31, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4I can't believe it!! What a crazy idea it looks awesome!
- grimreaperev, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I can't wait for this, I can tell you that it'll be one of the top games in the world!!! Only problem is I was sold a little while back on the Wii, cuz of this and halo 3 i'm pretty sure I'll be getting the 360, Ms is gonna make a lot of money, they've just made me a customer!
- GhostToon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2it will be the greatest game of all time UNTIL!.............Its sequel!
