Halo Wars shutting down

Microsoft to close 'Halo Wars' studio - Games - MSNBC.com

I was reading this at work and I think the Halo wars is for the pc? They are shutting it down but creating a new studio..

i agree, there has to be a point where bungie releases a game that doesnt have master chief in it. I dont mind if its halo just lets see a differnt part of the huge universe its set in.

I agree, if they started using prequels from the books for instance, that would be some great game. A massivly co-op halo game for instance, where the battles are almost like battlefield, where instead of just spartens, you could be marines of different specialities and you have to earn enough points to choose to be a sparten during hte battle. Would make an interesting game.

Bungie had nothing to do with that game. The only thing about it created by bungie was the logo. I hate bungie for letting those douchebags drag halo through the dirt.

How dare you. Halo wars was made by the same studio behind the critically acclaimed Age of empire series, and upon taking halo into the RTS genre, they did an excellent job. As far as consoles go, Halo Wars is probably one of if not the best RTS to come out for a console. While its alittle limited the controls are very natural and easy for anybody to pick up and play, which is no easy task, and I applaud them for that.

How dare I? They took out the personal level of Halo that made it so popular. It looks like stuffed animals walking around anyway. I think that Halo was never meant for RTS. The gameplay may have been good but the exterior of the game makes me ashamed every time i see it. I personally was never a fan of RTS games anyway. Please don't take personal offense, this is just my opinion.

I heard something happened to the leader boards. Something about the leader boards getting erased. That sucks for all of the people who put a lot of time into the game.

Well there you go, you dont even like RTS games,.The army vs an invading alien race, how does that not sound like an RTS? Halo is a whole universe if you haven't noticed by now, so its not just Master chief shooting people and not confined to a video game, or even a Genre, and Microsoft is handling this franchise almost better than Nintendo does theirs. Theres no dragging into the dirt here, they actually made a good game here.

I think if you could even appreciate ensemble studios prior work, and even noticing that they changed the way we play RTS console games with what they did with Halo wars, I dont think you would have made those prior comments. I dont take personal offense to anything.

i understand that halo is an entire universe, and that it doesn't always revolve around master chief but hes what made the game unique and popular. in how many games are humans fighting aliens while wearing super suits? hundreds. in how many is there a master chief. soon to be 4. the thing about halo is if you take out the story and master cheif. you might as well be playing half life or doom. kmow what i'm saying?

Not really. ODST has shown that you can still have a fun and unique experience without master chief, and in halo wars you can control multiple spartans. It really all boils down to weather you make the game good while stying in the limits of the universe.

I'm not knocking ODST, they had to carefully introduce them through years of introduction through magazines and by being around Master Chief. My complaint with Halo Wars is that there is no personal level. Your nothing. Halo is designed to be played in first person, to give you the feeling that you are the one in the suit, behind the mask. You don't get that in Halo Wars. Your some greater being which there aren't any in Halo.
