just looking at the ans you got already, im here to point out that
halo wars is one of the first xbox 360 titles that has taken up the challenge to bring an RTS game to a console. there are other games and most people who are haters of the franchise either dont like the halo universe, or find RTS games should only belong on the PC, sorry to say halo wars is the first of many yet to come RTS games on consoles not only on the 360, but the ps3 as well, more and more console industrys are attacking the PC world head on, im not pointing any fingers here but give the console a chance.
