2 Halo's in 1 year and another Halo next year is really milking the franchise though, don't you think?

Kind of like how there's a new Call of Duty every year.

As long as the quality is good....who the fuck cares ????

Halo games have been of a great quality. Until that quality drops I couldn't care less about how many games they release. I'll just keep buying them.

Halo Wars was the best RTS on a console to-date, and we've seen the story as to how Halo ODST came about.  You had a team in-place, and they needed somethign to work on...bam...Halo ODST.  I don't think it's milking it, if the products are top quality, and deliver unique game play experiences. 

I agree that Microsoft needs to expand Halo. Not like Mario or anything (I don't want Master Chief to start playing Basketball, Soccer, Baseball, then start making cameos in like Gears of War or something), but definitely expansion is a good thing. Halo Wars was a good start....but I have to disagree with what you described it as. "The best RTS on a console to date".

Civilization Revolution is rated better, yet it sold only a fraction of Halo Wars. You want to know why? You're going to hate it, but you're ignorant if you deny the fact that Halo Wars is the best selling (or considered close to the best, period) console RTS because it's called.....HALO Wars. If it was the same game with the same game mechanics, but had characters that weren't Spartans/The Covenant, it wouldn't have sold NEAR what it sold

Lol at first I thought you meant Metal Gear Solid and I was like..wha?

 

e: I read it wrong

You read it right.  MSG is more associated with that series than Microsoft Game Studios.  This is on par, if not worse, than MK for Mortal Kombat vs Mario Kart.

 

And GoW is God of War.  Gears is Gears of War.

I believe he was just trying to clear it up for everyone who thought "WHAT?! Metal Gear Solid wants to expand Halo?"

Looks like Jesus is a little upset that MGS =/= Microsoft Game Studios, and GoW =/= Gears of War amongst most of the gaming community lol

Look the J man isnt going to turn this into an abreviations war because there is nothing to argue about.........

MGS has always been both microsoft games studio and metal gear while GOW has always been both gears and god of war... its the way it has been and the way it will always be with most of the gaming ccommunity of course.
