People really should establish a basic understanding about the games they are talking about before pretending to know what direction they are taking.
Halo Wars as "copying" C&C...there's been several RTS games (you know like Starcraft, a game I consider to be a much more fun RTS than C&C), copying one straight isn't happening especially since Halo Wars was built from the ground up for CONSOLE use. Halo Wars is not C&C. Guess what, there is more than one game per genre. In fact, I think it's great to spread the franchise to a new genre to tell another story, it keeps the franchise active.
There is no squad based tactical Halo, so there is no reason to compare it to Rainbow Six. Don't say Recon, it's a first person shooter. But Halo would make an amazing squad based game.
And why is Gears on the list of games with armor? Suddenly every game that has armored soldiers is a Halo rip off? The armor in Gears didn't have near the function of Halo. Yes there have been clones but don't lump Gears in with that sorry lot.

Because the first three games are over and they are changing it up with new genres? Oh except that Halo 4 is in the works. And clearly one of the most played LIVE games has lost its appeal...because you know...it's one of the most played LIVE games.
