Halo Wars is being made by Ensemble Studios. They make excellent RTS titles (Age of Mythology is still in my top three, years after release), but they've never made a console game in their entire development history.

The fact that the game is being designed specifically for consoles combined with the pedigree of Ensemble Studios gives me some hope for the game, but in the end it will pale in comparison to PC RTS, primarily because of the controls.

Inevitably, Halo Wars will hit the PC 6-12 months after release with FAR superior controls and a higher pop cap. The PC version will probably sell much better as well. I know it will be the first Halo game I buy, just because I love Ensemble Studios (despite the somewhat mediocre Age of Empires III).

"Halo Wars is being developed from the bottom up for the Xbox 360 [as is] its control scheme to ensure that we deliver a groundbreaking console RTS experience," Microsoft has informed gaming website IGN. "Given that, we have no plans to develop Halo Wars for Windows Vista at this time."

You go ahead and take their word on that. ;)
