I'm skeptical about this.
Squirrely: Now come on y'all. We can't waste time arguing. There could still be survivors out there. We need to hunt them down, and kill them.
Beary: How about we kill them, and then rape their bodies so we can use their blood as lubricant.

A: “Halo Wars” was created for the Xbox 360 from the ground up, which meant we didn't have to make compromises or shoe-horn in artifacts from a Windows PC game. We were able to take all the best aspects of RTS games, make them work perfectly on the Xbox 360, and exclude the rest. |

Blah what BS. Further proof ensemble studios has totally gone down the toilet.
Too bad, the mod project looked like it might end up a kickass free game. This however will be a shitbag console rts to make a few more bucks off a franchise with not much to offer in the first place.

This is the second reason that I'm going to buy a 360, Halo 3 being the first. 
Love it, love it!

It's kinda' silly if you think about it though, we already know the history... humans and spartans alike got their ass kicked.
Oh well, should be fun.

the gameplay is like ground control or world in conflict, just dumbed down...A to select a unit, LB to select all, X to attack, Y for special attack. that's it, more or less plays itself
| Spiderman wrote: | | bushwacka wrote: | just played the demo and well, it kinda...works. mind you, i'm a halo hater who prefers his rts games to be on the PC. yes, it's dumbed down and i didn't really put up high hopes for ensemble studios anyway after the pos that was age of empires 3, but the interface is nice, fmv cutscenes are awesome and it feels like playing future army men in space  |
and did you hear the news that after the release date they will be closed , because M$ needs moneyz to finance Alan Awake |
that's probably for the better anyway. i'd rather have alan wake than halo wars 2
