God damn! Halo Wars is ridiculously extreme! (Caps removed due to popular demand =P)

[Beacon]

Me and my friend were playing the Sixth level (with the Rhinos) on Heroic and we got owned.

We got half of our Rhinos set and then it basically just became a constant fight to keep our base. We had one Barrack and six heavy supplies going just to stay alive. After about an hour, the compy just overran us.

Anyone else think that this game is ridiculous yet?

Also, I couldn't make it past level four on my own...

Whoa! Prepare for flamewar! Incoming Flametanks!

But Yeah, the level where you have to set up the rhinos is pretty ridiculous, there is pretty much a constant stream of covvies flowing in on you.

In Heroic - does the enemy act differently or do they just get more HP and your weapons and army are weaker?

I think they're just stronger and have more HP.

Yea...I'm ready to be called a nOOb by the entire site...I'd just like it if someone could give me a strategy maybe? lol

Damn..is there a game where the AI actually gets better? It's always more HP, armor, and damage. Or something among those lines.

Actually I'm pretty sure that in Halo 3 the AI is more intelligent in harder difficulties. They tend to move around more and use their equipment and grenades to their advantage.

EDIT: And dude, get rid of the caps in the title.

Halo and the MGS series is all that comes to mind for me right now.

Any specific reason?

Has anyone here actually made it past this level? I'd appreciate any help...I lost a lot of my self respect just now...

Come to think about it, the AI in Gears of War gets smarter on the higher difficulties for both the enemies and friendlies. Playing on Insane difficulty, your teammates seem to glitch up a whole lot less and at some moments are actually helpful.

Because when you post in caps you appear to be grabbing for attention, something I don't like very much, although that's just my opinion. However the main reason I asked for the title to be changed is that the fans of Halo games on this forum have a hard enough time of being taken seriously as it is, let alone when people make a title in caps. People will see this thread is about Halo Wars and that you are posting in capital letters and then swoop down for the kill.

Wait...

So this new Halo is an RTS?
Is it on PC?

No. The producer even said the game was being made specifically for consoles.

Do what I do. Screw finishing the objective, turtle yourself to hell, then build a massive army, escort the objective/complete the objective with said massive army.

No, so far it's just for the 360. But I'm sure it'll make it to the PC one day...

It's pretty much the first RTS that I've found playable on a console...I'd still prefer a mouse and keyboard though...

I've never noticed that, they all acted the same and the sponge factor just went up as far as I could tell :|

yes, and no. It's also Ensemble's last game (as ensemble).

Bastards.
Denying a PC gamer an RTS game is just fucking mean.
It's like making a new Mario game X-Box exclusive.

I feel your pain.

I'm going to slink back to Civilization and write a forty-two page essay on why PCs should get all RTS games. Of course, I'll be doing it while waiting for my opponent to fumble slightly so that I have a chance to stab him in the back and take his copper.

Sweet, sweet copper!

Agreed. The first thing which sprung to my mind is 'this guy really loves Halo Wars, a lot' .

Obviously that's incorrect but it is a misleading title.

I like to consider myself flame proof...

Not sure how I'd make a turtle in HW.

I thought about using tanks but the Hunters eat right through them...

And I don't think I can make towers...

So, have you guys ever played Halo Wars or are you just giving me general RTS help?

Turtle means hole up and bide your time. Then use your maxed out army to destroy the enemy.
Use your troops strengths to your advantage. Im only partway through the campaign but the only plasma tank level Ive played ivolves a shield. If thats the level make use of anti-aircraft units for banshees and anti-infantry units for covie ground troops (including hunters).
