I have a great idea for a Halo game spinoff.

As we know the Star Wars Battlefront series is a well selling game and it's popular outside of the Star Wars fan base. For an exclusive game Halo is the most popular one for the Xbox. So if there's a Halo version of Star Wars Battlefront that would sell very well on the Xbox and would most likely sell more Xbox's than what Halo would as it is now. But instead of doing that lets more a spin off game that's an RTS. After all RTS games sell very well on consoles and they're not a niche thing.

Really, what were they thinking when they did Halo Wars? The game should have been what I said above due to games like that having a larger player base and they work better on consoles. An RTS game is a game that works better on the PC due to the mouse and keyboard which elements the cluster fuck and make functions easier.

It was when it was still a computer game. Apple was the one that announced Halo.

Halo is Halo. Not need to shove it to imitate other games. Besides, if they did do that, it would be roflstomped in sales by the new Battlefront coming out this year.

A great idea for a Halo spin-off would be squad-based firefights on a large scale.

No campaign, just devote 3 years to 64v64 matches, with each team having 16 squads of 4 working in tandem for different objectives and shit...

Or some sort of third-person Halo.

How would branching it off into different types of games be shoving it? Doing the same shit since 2001 is getting old. Halo does have the lore and possibilities for it to be different games. A squad based game like Republic Commando would work and be fun.

If they did that instead of the RTS for Halo Wars it would have sold very well. It would have basically been the closet thing to Battlefront 3 which would have been one of the reasons for it to sell well. For it getting stomped by this years Battlefront that might not happen. If it was released in 2009 and had a sequel coming out this year the sales for it might not be that bad. Since Halo is the most popular Xbox exclusive and a game like that would be popular the sales numbers probably wouldn't be that bad. It could be like last super bowl where both teams were even. Even if it did just come out this year chances are it might have higher sales numbers than what Halo 5 would have.

I would prefer a game in which you play as a marine in either the Interplanetary Wars or the Insurrection/ Operation TREBUCHET. Either one would be able to give us gret info about each of their respective periods in time.
And if they really had to, they could conclude it around the time of Contact Harvest and include the CMA when they first encountered Maccabeus' Pack and then we'd be able to see on screen Tartarus become chieftain and gain heritage of the Fist Of Rukt.

I think you mean a very slightly modified halo 5 game engine that pretends it's stealth.
