It'd probably still be an RTS and likely never become popular. There might never have been a second Halo.

- MrScruff 13y agoWhen was Halo a RTS?

- Jetrel 13y agoRemember that one of Bungie's flagship titles was an RTS series called "Myth". Bungie before that had made a proto-Halo FPS series called "Marathon". When they made Halo, they made a pretty good architecture for showing wide landscapes/buildings/vehicles and large-enough numbers of troops onscreen at once. During the alpha experimentation with the game, apparently they seriously took a look at using this to make an RTS (albeit one really outside of the usual starcraft mold), rather than a FPS.
- dagw 13y agoI thought Bungie gave up on the RTS concept and made it a shooter before Microsoft purchased them.
- varkson 13y agoI haven't heard that, but I don't remember much about Halo at that time. I do remember when Halo RTS was revealed, Bungie was talking about how they were sick of FPS games after Marathon and wanted to do an RTS.
- dagw 13y agoJust checked wikipedia. Bungie changed from an RTS to a "third-person action game" before Microsoft came in. Microsoft changed it to an FPS.
