Halo Wars

I'm just interested to see the backlash from die-hard Halo fans who are sorely misinformed. A day or two after the release, I'm going down to my local GameStop and asking one of the employees how many disgruntled returns they got from fanboys who complain that it's not an FPS.

I watched a video preview of it the other day that looked pretty interesting. The humans seem to focus on medium numbers of mid level units supported by "god power" sorts of abilities. The Covenant seems to be based on having swarms of crappy units supported by a very limited number of the most powerful units (heroes). They didn't talk about the flood.

Its a rental for me at least. Red Alert 3 showed me that RTSs could work competently on consoles, so this could be great.

So you think that a dismissal of a console RTS can only be as a result of my fanboyism? Someone hasn't seen the state of Console RTS's in a long time.

No, I've actually tried to play C&C on the 360, so I'm quite aware of how badly console RTS games can be

however, the game developers are very good at their jobs, and you can't go around saying that a game is going to be bad just because it's going to be on a console.

Am I a bad person for laughing at this?

I think Bungie has some explaining to do in regards to the canon because so far the only reason I can imagine is that everyone on Spirit of Fire dies.

You mean Ensemble Studios has some explaining to do. The only thing Bungie has to do with this is the word 'Halo'

I know, I just meant since they created the Halo universe and have got to be involved with the story in some capacity that I hope there will be clarification later if the story in Halo Wars does not explain it.

Nope, I laughed at it to.

Oh no you mentioned Halo! Quick lets flame him and the game!

Depends on if you're laughing with me or at me.

Looks pretty good. OXM gave it a 9.0. I trust them I know I'll play the demo. I don't plan to buy it. I feel it would have been better if it was in it's own universe. I just feel the Halo universe should be done.

Wanna hit Blizzard at the same time?

Oh no! You mentioned Blizzard! Quick lets flame him and the company!

PS: Obvious Failboys are obvious.

Oh dear... is now a bad time to express my neutral feelings for EA?

It's going to be really bad, and this is coming from someone who cherishes all 3 Halo games. RTS games on the console generally suffer from shitty controls, much like Red Alert 3, and this won't be any different.

I was laughing at the idea of someone returning it because it wasn't a shooter
