    Age of Empires 4...the second one was absolutely fantastic, the third one was...alright, but yeah, I have to agree with suneku here, this series got me into RTS and introduced me to it, the second one was an amazing game, and the multiplayer only added to the great fun it already was.

    Based on AoE 3... Halo Wars. If Ensemble could guarantee an experience that was on par or better than AoE 1 or 2, then definitely Age of Empires 4.

    Halo wars after 3 you can tell ensemble is geting a lil stale with that franchise which they've been doing forever, Id like to see them take a break and try something new with halo wars, then come back later with an even better age of empires.

    Halo Wars looks like an interesting idea, definitely - but Age of Empires is a classic RTS series.

    Well it is nice to see Ensemble getting away from the AoE series and trying something new.

    What if they made AOE4 and it went from Industrial Revolution, to Information Age, to Space Age, to the Human-Covenant wars.

    That would probably work if they set it up like Spore. Each section having its own game.

    Age of Empires 4 in a heartbeat. And I don't own a PC to play it, but I own a 360. >.> I'm just not really interested in Halo Wars. And when I finally do buy a PC, I'd have that AoE4.....

    AoE, I loved 2 as a kid, and Wars smacks of a money-making spinoff.

    I'd definitely say AoE 4 for a couple reasons.  One being that AoE would be available for PC and it's not natural to play it on any other format for me personally.  Also, Halo has gotten old.  I can't go back and re-play any of the games in the series after playing them once.  AoE is a big name for RTS, Halo is a big name for FPS.  Personally, i trust AoE with coming out with a better game than Halo.

    I would take Halo Wars if it meant that they would remain open to continue their excellence. Stupid fucking MS. Yeah, let's shut down our best developer for no apparent reason.
