I get GI, and it gave Halo Wars a high rating, and i've played the demo many times over, and I really enjoy it. Not to mention you get the Mythic Map Pack with the LE version. Ive already ordered my game, a i am eager to play it.
Hmmm, I felt the controls worked very well, I play most of my RTSes on PC as well, and I'm really in for the story campaign. The game feels very halo-y so I wouldn't say its a sell out with the Halo name. The demo reminded me of BFME and I loved BFME. Have you seen the cutscenes, they look amazing, top notch quality! If there are framerate issues this can be fixed later on with a patch, that's what happened to Univere at War:Earth Assault. I can't wait for the game and since I can't play Halo 3 online I'm not grabbing the LE. I am getting the flame warthog from amazon from preordering it however, (free bonus).
hm, don't know if i'd agree fully with you on this one. however many of your points are very true. i especially love how the game really feels like a halo game and also how well done the online is. i probably would have given it an 8 or 9 but 7 is still good. well done.
it doesn't have to be good for stratagy,it's a HALO game,it's appealing to HALO fans,and HALO fans don't use stratagy,HALO fans rush in headfirst,they don't corner the enemy,they rush in,sure a true rts fan would be pissed off at this,but bungie dosen't need to make the strategy game of the year for people who arn't useualy the ones who use stratagy
I just got this and its actually a lot better than I thought itd be...they really did a good job in making an RTS work on a console and the story is pretty good too
and besides all that its just a whole lot of fun blowin shit up...Id deff recomend it to anyone that likes Halo even if you arent a big fan of RTS's
@ Muchomexicano halo's age isn't over yet. R u kidding? We still have f@#$ing halo 4 to look forward to and Halo Wars wasn't THAT bad. A 7 is still good and a lot of people liked halo wars
I have the game and i thought it was pretty cool. the controls are simple enough so that people who dont even play RTS can get into it. Besides any halo game is awesome.
Amatarasu, you are correct in saying Bungie most certainly not need to make the strategy game of the year, probably why Ensemble made it. Anyways, I myself picked it up for 2 reasons: Mythic map pack and an introduction to RTS's and I feel it served that purpose rather well. I myself would have given it maybe an 8 but then again, I am fairly new at RTS's and dont have much to compare it to, but I would recommend this to anyone like me looking for a bridge into this genre. reCAPTCHA: old cloth
this gamewas quite possilbly the worst RTS ever. (asside from goblin comander). that being said, i enjoyed the beautiful cutscenes. its really the only reason to play the game
I think Halo Wars was a very good game, because it was the second RTS on Xbox 360, so it is a great advancement, what i think Microsoft Should do is to adapt the console for other generes,they should add accesories that adapt the 360 for RTS ands RPGs, Oblivion did a pretty job, but still, Microsoft can improve this, although Sony and Nintendo are damn shit against Microsoft with the 360, Microsoft will soon announce the Portable Xbox a
i never liked RTS games but since halo wars i do now
im addicted to this game and all the units
Oh for those who say "you can't play as anyone" you're wrong/ when playing Arbiter you get to use his Rage specail which lets you control him in a 3rd personish style.
the units are great the skull are awesome and hilarious and the games overall deserves a 9 out of 10
Cons: the fact that most of the units are only used in this game and not any other Halo games.
you cant say This game sucks..
1. this the first Halo game not made by Bungie
2. It's just a side game not part of the Halo Franchise
3.It's an RTS not a FPS all the little fanboys saying it sucks its because its not for you
4. The game isn't really a Halo!! Its a (bleep)en' part zero - meaning its not to be a big time game only a before part 1 thing
5. Its not about the halo 1, 2, or 3 its about the first war with the covenant!!!
