Halo Wars

I'm still disappointed that this is a 360 exclusive.

I would say that the controls are fairly easy to pick up and learn, but true RTS fans that like to control every tiny last detail might have some difficulty adjusting. Also the force cap seemed really tiny.

I really only played EaW and Chaos Island(A RTS Jurassic Park) on PC, so I can't imagine I would have a hard time adjusting.

Give it time and I'm sure it will hit the PC.

If the PC release of the main Halo games are any indication of the time length, Halo Wars would be outclassed by the time it hits PC.

You'd be surprised how patient the PC community can be.

You'd also be surprised how poorly most ports are recieved. Good PC games have to be built for the PC from the get-go. The same applies with console games.

Last I checked, Halo 1 and BioWare's last three RPG's were well recieved when they arrived for PC. Besides, this is a RTS, I can't imagine it would be hard to intergrate it to PC.

Besides, if this does blow on PC, you still got Star Craft 2... when ever that comes out.

Starcraft will stomp this easily. Blizzard's got the cult following, the brand history of great RTS games, AND the entire korean population to back them.

So whens it coming out on PC?
Oh S**t. *Facepalm.

Should've been released on the PC in the first place. The PC is the RTS 'platform', imo.

I played it. It was good. Very typical RTS however.

Indeed, I just got done playing it. I liked it. Controls were quite simple for a Console RTS.

Watch it, I (might have) invented Halo Wars! :CStern:

Downloaded it yesterday, took me 5 HOURS for some reason...

But worht it. A very good game, and simple. The only problem i find is that you cannot form groups, which means i go for 'big sweeping horde attack' instead.

That's my only real complaint. It's harder to actually use some tactics. I found myself just calling all units and having them attack or special attack an area. When I took the second base in the demo I just did what I did with the first: upgraded it fully, spawned more units, proceeded to move my horde across the map.

Well, this is quite a fun game. I like it.

I bought it for the maps. Game is secondary :CStern:

If you mainly spent $60 on a game just for a few maps, I feel sorry for you.

 

[Aussie Legend]

I've had it for about a week now (hehe, early games FTW), and I finished the campaign yesterday, I thought it was great. Although, online seems to be unfair to me for some reason.

 

[Phil]

I'm like 2 levels away from beating the game. I'm on where I got to drag that thingy with the Elephants.
