Because the early RTS dev period of Halo had nothing to do with the game Halo Wars, that fact might have influenced Microsoft in deciding to make Halo Wars an RTS when they were kicking around the idea of what to make it, but Bungie really had nothing to do with the game Halo Wars.

You did know that Halo was developed for Mac and PC? And that Steve jobs used it to show off the graphics of the Mac? Then Microsoft bought the game for Xbox and a later PC port? The early version of Halo the RTS (Halo Wars as I call it) was not for Microsoft but for Mac and PC as Bungie has a Mac background.

Yes that is all documented history, but no matter what you choose to call it in your own mind, the original Halo RTS was just the same game that eventually evolved it's way into the Halo CE we all know and love. And it still has absolutely nothing to do with the game Halo Wars other than the fact that Halo Wars was an RTS. You're acting like Bungie saved all the game resources/assets from that abandoned RTS project and then just handed it off to Ensemble Games to finish it and package it up. That's not at all what happened. Halo Wars was its own game.

Yes Halo Wars is its own game inspired by work that had gone before but that still doesn't change the point that Halo and Destiny are founded on two different concepts. Halo being that it may be just one game and Destiny being that it will be more than just one game so my point still stands. And Halo Wars is very close to the original idea behind Halo regardless of who finally made it.

So what would you call the first version of Halo that never got released if not Halo Wars? Everyone knows of Halo Wars and even though Bungie didn't make the final release of Halo Wars they definitely were the inspiration and definitely had been working on a game very similar first and there would have been some sort of licencing agreement and I was calling it Halo Wars as it made the explanation easier with out having to go into this much detail because you did know what I was talking about.
