Halo Wars gets positive reviews mainly because the only people willing to rate the game are the ones who enjoy it. Halo Wars also sold well because lots of people thought the game was FPS. Sad to say for those people, many people came home on Midnight Release to play just to find out it was a strategy game. Happy for those who love strategy games, I was pleased. I also knew what it was when few people did. Trust me though, Wars 2 wouldn't do well at all.
