: Looking at that article, thinking about a Halo Wars sequel would be such a

: Bungie was so mad about adding their stuff onto the project. Honestly,
: that was indeed the only reason I checked it out in the first place--the

: I really hope something like that could happen, with a good chance of

: And David, my breath actually caught in an excited shiver over the

: Multi-tasking!!!

Halo Wars still maintains a pretty good population considering how old it is and that its a console RTS. I to this day have no problems finding UA matches.

I don't think the physical controls can really be improved upon honestly, though IDK what I'm really missing. Perhaps Kornman00 could chime in with what could work for a controller that isn't already there.

Voice commands would be pretty cool I think. Dunno off the top of my head what to add but I bet something could work really well.

Halo Wars reminds me a lot of Invasion. Lots of potential, SO MUCH potential, not enough love :'(
