Typically I ignore rumors, speculation, and unconfirmed things of that nature. This supposed excerpt from a marketing survey that was recently leaked to Kotaku is just too fun to pass up though. While it’s supposed to be an indication of possible directions Microsoft is considering taking the Halo series, to me it’s just an entertaining quiz of sorts.

ANGEL you and your Lego games crack me up. Are you not going to get Halo wars? That is my number 1 game to look forward too.

No, I don’t plan on getting Halo Wars Cozmo. I’m not into the RTS genre at all. And LEGO games rock!
Posted by AusQB on June 25, 2008 at 10:42 am
Oh angel, why do you break my heart so?
Posted by bs angel on June 25, 2008 at 10:48 am
Me, break your heart? You are the one who marked definitely would not purchase to the LEGO game and the Arcade game. :(

halo wars looks stupid. like absolutly horrible. your not even playing! your sending other thigns to fight for you. what a rip off.
Posted by AusQB on June 25, 2008 at 11:08 am
@SoxKid05
That’s the point of an RTS.
@bs angel
Touché. ;)
Posted by mendicantbias00 on June 25, 2008 at 11:10 am
But thats what an RTS is…you play God…or well probably a General in this case.
I don’t think a First Person Strategy would work…unless it was set up similar to being a Monitor in Forge…but then you still aren’t really “playing”.
In any case I am looking forward to it!
Posted by Bootsman on June 25, 2008 at 12:20 pm
I believe that a Halo MMO would definately work, if it’d be done in the MMOFPS-fashion, rather than the usual MMO-scheme like WoW. When someone says MMO, people instantly think about fantasy based ones. It’s quite misleading, since there are hundreds of kinds of MMO’s out there. They don’t all revolve around spells and fancy armor.

I would buy a Halo Lego game.
Posted by SpaceGhost2K on June 25, 2008 at 1:52 pm
I’ve been screaming and shouting about a Lego Halo game for about three years now. If they make one, I’m taking credit.
Think about the Halo Trilogy. They open a “casket” with Master Chief in it. They have three games worth of adventures. They close a “casket” with Master Chief in it. There is absolutely NO reason why they couldn’t do that again, with a completely different adventure for the storyline.
I don’t think they need a more family friendly Halo. Once they dropped some of the language, the game was practically “T” rated anyway. Sorry, I know when I’m looking at an “M” game, and Halo, Oblivion and DOA aren’t it. I wouldn’t bat an eye at letting a teenager play any of those games.
Condemned, Kane & Lynch, GTA, Saints Row… THOSE are “M” rated games.

There is no way I’m buying a Halo Legos game

Hopefully everyone understand at least 1 of those statements.

They need to make a Halo Squad based third person shooter game. Like ghost recon. That would ROCK. More cinematic elements.
Posted by SpaceGhost2K on June 25, 2008 at 10:16 pm
You know what would be really ballsy?
Offer to license the Halo IP to third parties.
Let UbiSoft make a squad based shoter.
Let Bethesda make an Oblivion-style RPG.
Let Turn10 make a Warthog racer.
Let Travelers Tales make a LEGO Halo game.
It would add some variety to the universe instead of limiting it to one mindgroup.

My choices. Halo wars I would only buy if it came out for PC.
Posted by bs angel on June 25, 2008 at 11:15 pm
To be honest, I haven’t been following the specifics of Halo Wars. It isn’t coming out for the PC though? It seems like a PC friendly game, maybe even more so than a console friendly game.
And SpaceGhost2K, that’s pretty fascinating to think about. The options would simply be endless, and the various interpretations could be quite interesting.
Posted by xp194 on June 26, 2008 at 1:56 am
I dunno, Halo Wars is looking really good, even if it is a console RPG. It is being developed by king of RTS’s, Ensemble Studios
Posted by aussie_spartan on June 26, 2008 at 11:15 pm
… they’re not gonna let this die are they?
Posted by Queen 0f Blades on June 30, 2008 at 12:14 pm
Or… they could just leave Halo alone and not kill a good thing. Leave Halo to Bungie, please T.T.
I might buy another Halo game if it went more indepth into the story. Honestly that’s all I care about. That, and what the hell was with the Death Star after the credits in Halo 3. But I don’t want Microsoft to eff up.
