The thing that i really want to know was who is going to patch their games. AoE3 and its two expansions have had countless patches and they still never made the civs balanced. I would hate to see how Op certain units and tactics will be in Halo Wars with zero patches.

"Though Microsoft will close the studio, Ensemble brass plan to soldier on. As part of today's statement, the studio said that 'the leadership team' will form a new development house, and has already entered into an agreement with Microsoft to continue supporting Halo Wars post-launch, 'as well as work on other projects with Microsoft Game Studios.'"

 

 

You're asking people to actually read past the first paragraph? How rude of you!  Seriously though... I think this clears way for any future RTS sequals that people feared would not be comming and perhaps making them a better developer...
