EDIT: Halo 2 Anniversary: Outskirts
Holy crap I saw a Halo Wars reference in the Outskirts mission! (I think)

OMFG I would even take a remastered version and be happy, not sure if without Ensemble they could successfully make a good sequel...
Best RTS on a console, every. The controls were so goddam intuitive!

Wow, nice catch. The last time this kind of thing got spotted, Crackdown and Halo 5 were announced.

I have high hopes this is an actual tease for a new Halo Wars.

How the heck did you see that? Anyways, I played the crap out of the first Halo wars and I would love a second. Question is, who would make it?

Campaign was actually pretty fun, but every time I look at it I can't help but think about Microsoft killing off Ensemble.

Damn, that's... random?

Maybe they just needed assets?

Quite possibly, but MS has done a lot of weird hinting over the last year and a bit; both Fable Legends and Crackdown had non-descript dashboard icons in the original Xbox One reveal. Phantom Dust has been mentioned on the Xbox twitter a few times. So they definitely seem to be doing cheeky teasing.

Not sure, but I actually really enjoyed that game. I think it got a lot of flak, but making an RTS for consoles isn't quite easy..

I thought the general consensus was that it wasn't a smash hit but it was definitely a solid shot at a console RTS, arguably the best executed.

Oh hey they can get Ensemble to work on a sequ....

Oh right Microsoft shitcanned the lot of them for having one of the highest selling franchises in all of gaming.

Thanks for that Microsoft.

They're still milking the goodwill that Ensemble built out of the Age of Empires name..having one of the great RTS devs working on a Halo MMO? Whoever the fuck greenlit that should have been the one shitcanned.

Man I hope so.

A sequel to Halo Wars would make me drop everything and buy it.

Oh man I'm all psyched. I'm going to play halo wars now on my 360. I hope we hear something definite next year.
