If Halo Wars turns out to be crap, could it ruin the Halo name?

[Imperial]

I don't imagine it would , I think everyone who buys the Halo RTS will recognise that it won't have a whole lot to do with the FPS.

I can't imagine Halo 4 Sales being affected by a poor performing RTS sharing the same name.

 

Edit : What was I thinking , yes if Halo wars flops I expect the Halo series to die and Microsoft to go into bankrupcy.
