I think the game sold sufficiently well for a sequel. Although I think some good DLC will better serve you in the meantime.

Even if they do not produce one the success of the first will probably lead to another hopefully from a spin off group of the original.

We did get one of the AI developers visting the forums just after launch, I am not sure you can keep that kind of passion down for too long.

As long as they make Halo games with enough fresh ideas (and they do) it isn't milking at all.

I'd rather play an RTS without the dumb resource gathering base/unit building.
The Allies didn't land a couple of scouts on the beaches of Normandy and set up factories to churn out units.

That's basically how all RTS games work, though.

You build a building, the building creates people or other units.

Also, the Allies were about 600 years behind in technology compared to Halo

I'm not so sure I agree releasing four games in eight years is diluting the franchise.

Huh? Starting from Halo 3 it'd be 4 games in 4 years, 2007-2010. Even though I wouldn't find it "milking", others certainly would.

Those games haven't even been released yet. I'm talking about 2001 to present. I consider Halo ODST an add on to Halo 3 as well. It's not like COD, or even close to a Mario related game or two being released every year.

When the quality of Halo goes down, I'll be worried.

I reckon no because:

(a) primarily, a different genre with the Halo branding would get more sales - a TPS with Gears elements or a sandbox with Crackdown elements, for example, would for sure hit 2.5mil.

(b) and... what could you really do new in HW2 that would make it a substantial step forward?

This said, however, if Microsoft could get Robot w/ a few MS Game Studios employees to knock out a sequel on a small budget, then it would definitely be worth it, since even an unambitious sequel would break 1mil and thus, on a small budget, be pleasantly profitable.

So, lol, I guess maybe also 'yes' then. Who knows? XD
