I'm not really a fan of Halo, but I did find this interesting. There was a modification being made for Command and Conquer: Generals, titled HaloGen. The modification aimed at bringing Halo to a RTS perspective. Unfortunately, a few weeks ago the modification was FOX'd by Microsoft and thus development had to discontinue. It was widely speculated why the modification was shut down, but it would appear it's because that Bungie Studios (Halo) is collaborating with Ensemble Studios (Age of Empires III) in developing a Halo RTS game.

This Halo RTS game is titled Halo Wars and it's being made for the Xbox360.

I was really excited for it, then I found out it's only for the 360. That, and it's being made by Ensemble Studios. I hated Age of Empires 3.

Anyway, I pray to God that this will have mouse and keyboard support on the 360. If not, then the game will suck. They've never been able to pull off a good RTS on a console so far (Battle for Middle Earth sucked), I have no reason to believe they'll start now.

If they don't defend their intellectual property, they can lose rights over it. It may seem like companies go ape-**** over this stuff sometimes, but they're only doing it to protect themselves.
