In Response To: Re: I'd buy a Halo Wars II. (Quirel) : I don't think I've ever asked myself that question. It is a good question. : ... I'll go think about it for a while. : I want Halo RTS. I want it deeply, more than Halo 4. But I think the two : problems I have with Halo Wars 2 is that it would be a continuation of the : original, and that it would suffer from the same limitations as the : original. : I'm afraid that the same broken design philosophies will carry over (You : can't have an RTS without Melee units, it's not a full Halo game without : the Flood, the UNSC can't do #$*% without the Spartans to hold their : hands). I'm afraid that we'd get the same William C. Dietz level of : storywriting. : I'm also afraid that the same shallow gameplay would carry over because of : the limitations Halo Wars had on it. Look at the information up there. We : had buildable defenses, artillery as a class of units/power, and : non-socketed bases. They didn't cut that stuff out because they lost a : coinflip. Quite likely, the lost gameplay elements had to go because it : didn't work with the control scheme ES had set up. : So, if a future Halo RTS is announced, I guess my reaction would depend on : whether it was PC-exclusive, and whether former ES employees were working : on it. : /trust issues. ...who do you think would do a better console RTS? Ensemble knew their stuff, and I trust that their control scheme was the best possible option.
