Halo Wars?

Master Yunk · 29-September-06, 10:13 AM

I was surfing around the internet looking for a new game to pick up (overstressed, need to let off some steam)

But anways I came across a new M$ announcement... Halo Wars...

Its an RTS... in the Halo universe!

The trailer looks pretty cool, but we all know the graphics wont look like that.

Thoughts?

Check it out at Halo Wars - Home

I think it will be kind of wierd playing a RTS on a console. Otherwise I think it looks pretty cool.

needs to be on PC.

I played the demo of Battle for Middle Earth 2 on the 360, and you'd be surprised about how easily it controlled compared to a PC game.

No more crappy Starcraft64 ports anymore

I think it has a lot of potential, of course, it won't be awhile till it comes out.

looks interesting, hope that it keeps my attention more than HALO and HALO2 did.

I played that demo too. It was fairly easy to control, but I didn't have the power of groupings and such that I could have with my trusty Keyboard and mouse.

Either that or I neglected to pay attention at the demo controlls screen

Oh, no doubt that a mouse and keyboard is still superior to a controller in a RTS game. But, EA made huge strides in the control mechanics in the console version of BFMEII. It's a million times better than previous RTS games.

It'll be interesting to see how Bungie develops the controls.

I also hope that this game is another PC-360 Live Anywhere game like the upcoming Shadowrun will be

. So, since I've stopped upgrading my computer, i can play my PC friends and see who really is the 'best of the best.'

Oh it sounds like its on..........

P.S. From what I saw at IGN Shadowrun looks niceee...

I've always thought the Halo universe was a little lacking, and even worse was the dialog. The "If they want a war we'll give 'em a war" thing didn't exactly change my mind

I'm sure it'll be fun, I trust Bungie as far as that goes, but still overrated

I heard alot about that game. Sounds fun, but not as cool as the original... unless you get grenades
