Gears of War RTS

I'm going to have to go with fhq on this one. Epic is a shooter company. They have literally no experience with RTS's. Add in the fact that Ensemble, Microsoft's in-house strategy gurus are busy with Halo Wars, and this one doesn't seem very likely. It could happen once the trilogy is done, and Halo Wars is out, but I doubt it.
 
i mean i could see it as a game, the two sides the war the bigger guys that cost more imulsion

the king raven,boomers,brumaks,hamer of dawn
 
Also, another obstacle here would be that Gears of War really doesn't have the epic feel that most strategy games need. COG is so depleted by Gears of War that I doubt they could effectively field more than maybe 30 people at a time, given how thin they're stretched. This wouldn't make for the best strategy game.

They could do it like they are doing for HALO WARS make it before the 1st game, when there were lots of COGS and bigger battles...

In my opinion i think it would ok..not the best but just alright. I guess we'll have to see how the triolgy ends before we make up our minds. We still have to learn more about the story and the battle that took place before the current games.
 
I agree. Perhaps if they completed the series, as it is right no, they could make an attempt for an RTS version that bases itself prior to the first Gears, but other than that, I believe t would make a horrible mix, even if still entertaining.

As Cherry put forth, Epic don't do RTS. They'd need a company that specialises in the genre, like Ensemble, to get it all done for them. but that really depends if they wish to do so. Morphing a FPS to an RTS can stuff up a series. It's a risky jump. it's more safe to make an FPS out of an RTS.

First off, in Halo Wars you are using Marines for almost 90% of the game. Secondly, the game takes place in the time when the Spartan II's are in limited numbers just like the COG. Thirdly, I really think that if Ensemble does do a Gears RTS, since they are the most likely to do a project like that, it would most likely turn into a Halo Wars clone or a Command and Conquer clone more likely since that what Halo Wars is looking like. Fourthly, Gears of War was slow as a FPS already, taking it and making it a RTS would make it slower. Also, Gears of War doesn't have the classes that would be needed for a RTS, sure enemies have a wide variety of classes but, the COG don't have any type of class structure which is needed for a RTS.
 
emmmm well while epic might be a company of full shooters a Gears of war RTS might not be a very crazy idea.

look at square-enix they made 2 RTS last year and they were very decent (though for me were very good)

If ANY company could pull it off, this series is near perfect for an RTS.

How exactly is this near perfect for a RTS? I see no class structure or any other sort of stuff that I would see a RTS besides on the Locust's side.
