: Halo is ripe material for an expansive, simulationist RTS with all the bells
: and whistles. Something like a Company of Heroes, except CoH's gameplay
: would be radically changed by the introduction of aircraft and the removal
: of anti-tank guns.

: Halo Wars is simple to a fault. The gameplay feels like a sort of off-brand
: Command and Conquer, and there's nothing about it that really sticks to
: you. The mechanics feel shallow, and the worst thing is, some of those
: mechanics feel more like filler than something that's fun to play.

: The best parts of Halo Wars was the art. If future Halo RTSs were to abandon
: Halo Wars's gameplay in favor of something more radical, I wouldn't shed a
: tear.

I wouldn't either, not when I already have the original HW. I personally prefer more intricate and expansive RTS games myself. If they decided to do a "Fleet Battles" video game, for example, I'd certainly want it to be a radical departure than what we've seen with the RTS genre in Halo to date.
