Everyone involved got infected/wiped out? Some kind of Halo type (but on a small scale) installation fired rendering any records useless and no mention of the flood? It was kept top secret by top brass?
The latter, most likely.

I don't want to fight the Flood, though. I've fought the Flood for Three Games straight, gimme some Human Vs Covenant Action ONLY. Damn you, Bungie, and your silly marketing.

Maybe the flood will be a 3rd party. They will be there and only annoy you if you run into them.

My thoughs,

This.

Also seeing how this comes out in March, I may have to wait for this as My money is more focused on getting Resident Evil 5. Could be a Birthday present though, who knows.

Are the previous resident evil games good? I've only seen the second and third movie.

Trust me when I say the Games are FAR SUPERIOR then the movies ever will be. I only played 2, CV, 4, and Umbrella Chronicles, but I know the whole story with the games and they are excellent stuff.

I might have to buy the fifth then.

"Xbox LIVE subscribers will have weeks, rather than days, of advanced playtime thanks to the Halo Wars demo, available for download for Gold members on February 5 and Silver members on February 12 from Xbox LIVE® Marketplace."

Got it from Xbox.com


Looking forward.

Demo is 1.40 GB and is STILL downloading for me. Luckly, my OXM came with the Halo Wars review.

9.0
+ Despite jumping genres, still feels like a Halo game.
+ Easy and engaging to pick up and play.
- Minor A.I. and pathfinding annoyances.
? Where are the covenant and Flood campaigns?

Flood weren't around during this timeline, iirc (in which I mean they weren't a known threat to Humanity). And Covenant would be an expansion, most likely.

Not sure if you know or not, but The Flood are in Halo Wars.
Well than... >.>

And this is a perversion, an affront! RTS Games=PC, not console. EndWar is a possible exception because it isn't really an RTS.

Question: Does the demo have any Online Multiplayer features?

Nope, you get to play both tutorials, first two levels of campaign, 1 v 1 skirmish with three difficulties. You do have the ability to choose between unsc and covenant forces with one hero on each side. But no online multiplayer.

That's alot for a Demo, and good enough for me.

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.
