I played the demo and it ran very shitty. Kept stuttering when moving camera around. And yeah looks like a 6/10 game to me too. Will burn if it somehow gets great reviews.

Have tried it and here´s my thoughts after three missions.

The quality of this game is good.
The cinematics are very well done and the story starts quite exciting.
I for sure would like to know what happens next.

And the gameplay is hard to tell after only three missions, but it looks quite promising.
Good graphics, cool explosions and nice atmosphere, I like it.
But I think you shouldn´t expect too deep strategy in this game.

Better than C&C Red Alert 3 for sure, and definitely worth a verb from my side...

Ps.. And I am no Halo nerd.. Wink

Everything that Megahoover said, I am giving it a 8/10. This was one of those games where somebody had to pull me away from it. I havent seen many of those in the RTS genre in recent times.

Sounds good, I was skeptical for sure. Downloading and I will give a try. Thanks for the mini reviews.

if the rest of the game is like the demo, then the cutscenes will probably be longer than the actual missions Laughing

still, i'd rather have a short game full of action, variety and great storytelling than one where all maps are recycled 10 times, like dow2

I used to work in a pressing plant, i'm still within the industry but in a different field now (moved up a bit). Publisher decides on region locking a game. When a game is close to finished it goes to microsoft for certification, then it's declared gold. I know of one game that was pulled from pressing at the last minute because of a fatal bug that was discovered, but i can 100% confirm it is down to the publisher to enforce the region code.

Pretty fun game. I really wish you could play as the flood though, that would have been great. Oh well, atleast there's Flood on some mp maps. Will probably come to the campaign, I'm only on mission 5 or so.

8+ scores to me says the game is at least good. Nothing special, for me, are the 6-8 marks.

a game doesn't need 9+ average scores and be a goty candidate to be enjoyable.
8.5 average is excellent.
if it got 6 I'd be worried, but 8.5 on average is an a very good score.

Hmm I'm stuck on the 3rd level, where you have to save the retarded civilians and it's getting to be a pain in the ass. The CPU cheats at the very end of the level by spawning a flying drone right ABOVE the only remaining 2nd ship and blows it EVERY time... anyone passed this?

Im on 6th level myself.

Just focus on one of the carriers towards the end. Without proper micro management I personally think its a pain in the ass to secure and follow the path for those stupid civilians. So I just went for the 2nd. And remember, you can save your game whenever you want.

Is there any chance this game will come to the PC in the very near future? If so, I'll skip it for now.

Should the scores be all 9.5 and 10?

Hmmm...

Well I think the 2nd ship is pre-scripted to survive. My problem was that when I'd get ALL of my military to the 2nd ship, an enemy drone would spawn right above the 2nd ship and blow it.

But you say I can save anywhere I want, I noticed that and saved yesterday, but the game keeps loading the beginning of the level every time, do I have to load explicitly?

Also, I noticed that using the watch towers helps immensely.
