Rumor had it that ''Halo Wars'' was produced directly because of fans' extremely positive reaction to Halogen and the negative response to the cancellation of the project. ''Halo Wars'' was announced shortly after Halogen was cancelled, and it was speculated that ''Halo Wars'' was designed to feed off of the anticipation Halogen carried. It was later revealed that the reverse was actually true; In the email to SSP from Microsoft, they revealed that the reason they didn't want a free ''Halo'' RTS being circulated around the Internet was that they were going to announce a ''real'' RTS based on ''Halo'' at X06.{{fact}} | |||
