An official Microsoft survey has caused some Halo fans to speculate (wildly) that the game is to get a reworking as a strategy simulation.First, the email informing players of the survey contained this statement: "Commanding the battlefield takes strategic thinking."
Combine that with a question about simulation games in the survey itself and someone somewhere was bound to jump to conclusions:
These clues spawned one eagle-eyed GameSpot editor to be rich with curiosity, and he/she promptly galloped to the conclusion that a Halo-themed strategy game may be in the works. Logic says that if Solid Snake can be featured in a card-based strategy game, then Master Chief could meet the same fate, right? However, given developer Bungie's track record with its popular franchises (Marathon was always a FPS, Myth was always an RTS), it seems unlikely that you'll be reading the text "M Chief needles Covenant Elite for 20 points of damage."
