Halo RTS someday?

Check out this from Ars Technica: Ars at E3:Our Private Halo Wars Demonstration

So that was posted like a year ago. E3 is coming up and Halo Wars is still on the map according to the official site.

Gamepro mentions something interesting as well:

In transforming the Halo universe into a strategy game, Ensemble Studios is ironically bringing the series back to its roots. Before its release as the Xbox first-person shooter loved my millions worldwide, Halo was planned to be a PC strategy game. A series of design tweaks culminated in Halo’s eventual rebirth as a white-knuckle console shooter. But Halo’s strategy DNA lived on in the series anyway, evident in the game’s distinctive vehicles and rock-paper-scissors gameplay philosophy.

I never would have guessed it, but it makes total sense.
