Join our forums Are you all alone in the world with noone to share your Halo-interest with? Looking for someone that will actually listen to your theory that the Halo series would improve 200% by introducing Huborgs? Then I recommend you:
Should Bungie Make a Halo 4? In the past Bungie has mentioned that Halo 3 would complete the current story arc and be the final game in the Halo trilogy. But things can change. Considering Halo 3�s Legendary ending, the huge sums of money that the Halo games have made, and the series� huge importance to the Xbox platform, is Halo 4 really out of the question?

Reviews
-IGN gave seemed pretty impressed with the game, giving it an 8.4.
-Teamxbox gave Halo Wars a 9, but wonders if the game will have enough depth for the more hardcore RTS fans.
-1Up.com gave the game a B, calling it a "solid, if somewhat uninspired and simplistic, all-around RTS package with few faults"
-Gamespot gave the game a 6.5/10. They liked the story, campaign, and unit variety, but were disappointed by the low unit count and lack of depth.

GOODBYE PLANET HALO[ 231 Comments ] 13:53 PST | Fluffaluffer | Print News | Category: Planet NewsA new year has recently begun and that usually does not mean as much changes or new things as we hope or set up plans for. In some regards or at least for me this is not the case for 2009. As of today I am stepping down as the Site Director for Planet Halo. It has been quite some time since I felt I have had a passion for Halo or for my involvement in the Halo community as a whole and frankly what has made me stick around for so long is the strange love I have towards the nowadays quite small community of BGH, or Planet Halo if you so will. This lack of passion combined with some changes being made within the organization have made me realize that this is the most appropriate time to step down and let someone else take over the reins.
It has been roughly 9 years since I first registered as a member of the Battleground: Halo forums and I have seen a lot of members come and go since then, some not staying around as long as I had wished and some that are still around I wish would have left years ago, but to be fair, the experience would not have been the same without them. The number of people I would like to give some recognition to is probably in the hundreds so instead of trying to mention everyone and accidently leaving someone out I am sending out one big THANK YOU to all of you, the members, the other fan sites, Bungie and Microsoft and most importantly my friends.
Thank you for 9 wonderful years. I will continue to drop in from time to time and I hope you will continue to as well.
