Halo Wars

So yeah,

The demo came out today: IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT DOWNLOAD IT NOW

Now that that's out of the way, I can say, from first-hand experience, that this game is going to be one of my favorites for a long time.

Firstly: I love RTS's. Always have, always will, grew up on Starcraft and never looked back.

Secondly: I love Halo. Fun, cool story, and very interesting, futuristic scenery, units, and enemies.

Thirdly: It's a mix of both, how much better can it be?

You might be thinking that, "An RTS can't function properly on a console."
Well, it can, and Ensemble (now out of business

) did it very well.

The controls function smoothly, the cursor, the menus, and the camera all handle great.

The "circle" menu that you see when you select a building is very cool, you hold the left stick in the direction of the unit/upgrade you want to select.

Anyways, I'm rambling, if you have the demo, tell me what you think.

If you don't have it, go get it, yeah.

Opinions?

I don't really like RTS's but this is an exeption!

**lumphoboextreme** · 02-5-2009, 06:26 PM

don't even think i'm going to bother playing it, RTS's aren't for me

Yeah, I'm going to be skipping this. If it was on the pc, I might consider torrenting it or something, but it's not going to be a game I'll actually pay for.

Rise of Nations > Other RTS's

/thread

Btw this looks like a cheap way to get Halofags to buy a new Halo game...I bet you it's going to be nothing compared to SCII...especially if this is on the XBox.

Anything that has to do with Halo is pretty cool.

Btw I checked it out, and it plays pretty well. You should try it.
