I loved Halo Wars, but I am afraid we're a minorty lol :p, quite alot of peopel brought Wars and many thought that it was a FPS, so they were in for a quick disappointment. Again the ending left the game open for more games and was pretty good. Shame the studio that made it, Ensemble got disbanded :(


As far as I know the games to achievements ratio is pretty good considering that case. Halo is still gold, Ensemble is gold. Has a bit of Ensemble been morphed into 343 or one of their other studios?

We're probably in for disappointment then, or a slew of 2012 releases.

I think a few of the staff from Ensemble have joined 343, but I think the amount can be counted on one hand. I really hope that the staff from Bizzare creations are either formed into a new studio or merged into the already existing ones.



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

As far as I can remember, the closing of Ensemble has created 4 studios made almost entirely of former Ensemble employees. The big one is Robot Entertainment and they're working on the PC RTS Age of Empires Online for MS. The other 3 are Bonfire, Windstorm, and Newtoy. Bonfire was acquired by Zynga games after making a couple of iPhone games.

So with Robot Entertainment still having close ties to MS there is a possibility of a Halo Wars 2... I'm just not betting on it happening so soon. But I did enjoy Halo Wars quite a bit. The gameplay focus on combat was a smart move and the cutscenes were drool-inducing.


Robot Entertainment... here is the story how I think they formed. I personally think there was a rift in Ensemble, MS prob thought it was easier to kill Ensemble rather then try to fix the problem. Robot Entertainment is almost proof of that. The close ties shows that they werent that unhappy when ensemble closed.

This is just what I think otherwise there would have been less then 4 companies imo.

I've always wanted something based on the Forerunner lore. We still know very little about their connection to humans and how the flood came about and their struggle against the flood. I'm 99% sure that a game like this will never come to fruition but it's still at the top of my wish list for the franchise.


If you watch Halo Legends they explain a lot about the forerunners and the flood.

Also read the HALO forerunner novel that is out now.  IT is the first of a trilogy of books about the forerunners.
