FORUMS

Once upon atime there was a RTS game called Halowars. It was looked at by most fans of the halo franchise as a "Un wanted adopted child". But it still came up, and it came up harder then a whale needing air. It broke RTS selling records, it broke the original sells estimate, and it has stayed this way ever sense it came out 3 faithful years ago.
It has run onto dark times 343. With its creators disbanded, Its sites forums shut down, and its power has slowly been drained. The fans are here standing like a solid wall. All we ask is when the time comes dont just give a halo, bring a war.

The halo wars community is more active, more numerous, and far more supportive then most of the other halo forums on this site
It has more people then H3,H:ODST,H2, and Halo CE.
And yes halo reach does have more people then halo wars how much of it is good?
So we the halo wars community say to you, dont forget halo wars.


Erickyboo:
We have to let them see our dedication. For this, we have to reach 117 pages. So get everyone that can help here and discuss halo wars on this thread.
To survive, we need an army.

Heres how the council works
normal people or members of the council who get on post something like
We want flood in game.
so the Head Chief sets up a vote to make Flood a big deal for the (what ever were putting it on). The vote is then decided by the Ambassadors who vote Yay or Nay.

you can see where im going I hope
Some votes will not be decided by the council but by YOU
Things like a New ambassador
New Head chief if the current head chief does not fulfill his duty's
Or even deciding what flavored icecream we will serve at a Halo Wars Con. (If it happens)
These votes will be held at 99polls

I agree, but they would have to get a good real-time strategy game studio to live up to the standards of Ensemble Studios.

I don't think they'll continue the Halo Wars series in the next halo universe, which is a very long, long time

Ensemble made Halo: Wars.

I know but it was a known fact that Ensemble was comitioned by bungie to make it
then when they got destroyed bungie and 343 got some of there members .

Meaning bungie could have mentioned somthing about it in halo reach
(also the had say on all things with halo in it when they had the rights to it)
SO bungie could have had a firefight voice or something from halo wars.

Bungie had no affiliation with Halo Wars despite Ensemble Studios' claims. Bungie was originally against their franchise being handed to another developer.

I don't see the big deal, the game had plenty of support after release and turned out to be a well received addition to the franchise. Who's forgotten it?

so has bungie
if it was halo bungie could do what ever they wanted
it was in there halo contract.

Frankie said they see it as sequel worthy, I wouldn't be surprised if they got Robot to make a Halo Wars 2 after they are done with the new Age of Empires game.

I agree with this thread. Halo Wars is great niche game that has a relatively narrow-but-loyal audience, and 343 Industries would do well to serve that. Keep in mind that you shouldn't blame Bungie for how Halo Wars has been treated thus far, though. Microsoft commissioned Ensemble to do the game, and Bungie helped pretty extensively regarding visual and audio for the game, to make it an authentic Halo experience. Barring that, Bungie had no role or authority over the title. After Ensemble was shut down, it was handed to Robot, who did decent things with it, but nothing spectacular. From Robot, 343 got it and sat on it for the longest time, promising "exciting" news.

Then the news finally came that they were effectively shutting down the active Halo Wars community by shutting down the Halo Wars website, where there was still plenty of discussion, and where stats were stored. That would have essentially killed the game, and we were very vocal over there about that, so some compromise with 343 allowed the stats to stay up, but the closure of the forums and subsequent seeming abandoning of the game hasn't done it well either. I like 343, but I have to say they've handled Halo Wars irresponsibly in my opinion (We still haven't heard that "exciting news" that they had in store for Halo Wars since 343 acquired the game). I understand that they have a lot on their plate, but an RTS game still needs pretty consistent support for most of its lifespan. I believe if it was given a chance to truly spread its wings and stretch a bit, it could have been a much bigger hit, instead of the being referred to as the little half-brother of the FPS franchise who can't do nearly as much with itself. It probably would have been a much different experience if Ensemble wasn't shut down, too.

Sorry, but I don't follow... What are you talking about?

I just got into Halo Wars and I can say I love it. I hope they do make a new one and expand on it.
