It's a simple question will Halo Wars do for RTS gerne on console what Halo: combat evoled did for FPS on consoles?

Doubt it. RTS should only be played on a PC or with Keyboard and Mouse support

i guess we could hope...but i dont think so. im not sure RTS will ever be like that on consoles. people have tried lots of different approaches and still havent had any real success.

I agree it that it come down to controls, but i still have hope someone can make it work.For example if halo change just a few buttons the game would have sucked.

 That's what people used to say about FPS.

I was thinking it may be the next big thing...until they shut down Ensemble. Now I don't know...They wouldn't snuff a studio that was creating the next big thing would they?

Well it will still be a long time coming before we can see a Very successful RTS on consoles especially considering that FPS are still arguably better on PC. I do however think That Halo is the wrong series to try and introduce RTS to consoles though. Anything considering Halo should be an FPS thats what the series is strong in and thats the area it will do well in.... I like the risk they're taking with this game though and Ill appreciate it more if they succeed(I havent played a good RTS beside Starcraft and that was years ago)

It's sad to see Ensemble go, but if they can't make a really good RTS on console then who can?

it'll be big... cause people who love console FPSes are the same that will flock to it.
I mean FPS and RTS are great games...so why not? especially if they have no idea it's tons better on PC.

Are you feeling deprived because you never tasted a "Foie Gras en croute de sel à la sauce de chataigne accompagné de pates aux chataignes...." no? didn't even understand what it was? well that is a shame cause it's delicious.
