I don't want to bash but seriously. Anyone who would not know enough about games to not know this game isn't a shooter? Can you read can you see? I mean I've looked at the box and it's pretty obvious....
I could see blindly renting this but otherwise...
"I didn't know Grand Theft Auto IV wasn't a race game...."

Now imagine if Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games was a RTS.
Believe me it wouldn't have sold 11 millions.
The reason it sold so good is that it was a casual game with well known characters on a casual console.

To ps3-sales!
we all know this is only a good game but its expected to sell better because it has Halo in the title.
Mario and Sonic the Olympic games was an average title but sold 11 mill over all.
Names sell

I'm thinking that this is a good RTS game. But thats it. A GOOD game. Not a great game. Its a nice start for console RTS games but will sell great only because halo is a very established franchise. Kind of pathetic if you ask me when they could have make the same game, different characters, and it would have sold half of what it has currently.

@ drakesfortune
Obviously a PS3 fan boy

"That's a lot of disappointed people I'm guessing. Meaning, I bet a huge...huge chunk of those people thought they were getting an FPS. RTS's don't sell this well, not even the best of them, and Halo Wars certainly isn't as good as most RTS's. I think Microsoft is making a HUUUUGE mistake diluting the Halo name with a game like this."

I see a lot people on my friends list playing this and enjoying it. I have personally messaged several of them that have no prior RTS games on thier list and they over whelmingly love it.
Although I'm not to impressed with this game myself I think it's bring RTS games to people that haven't ever played them. The Halo name is only strengthed by this new group of RTS players who really enjoy it. It's diversifing it beyond just a FPS.

If they make a Halo Wars 2 Id imagine MS will wait for the Xbox to sell for a few years to build up a sizable install base to give this the sales it needs, perhaps release after Halo 5 so it can ride the Halo wave.
