doesnt look all that good to me personally

We have starcraft 2, we don't need any other RTS for the next 10 years.

That's assuming SC2 is released in the next 10 years

Looks pretty but it seems like a fairly straightforward rock/paper/scissors affair. Company of Heroes is where the real dynamic strategy is.

it looks amazing, they've perfectly captured the feeling of halo. I'll be getting this on my 360 but i wish it was coming out on pc as well

Within 2 years it will be out, in the meantime we still have SC1

If would be on PC, it'd most likely be a craptastic console port anyway.

Aye, I'm betting he used to do guided tours for the local box factory.

It'll arrive on PC eventually. Halo is Microsoft's cash cow so after the money's stopped pouring in from 360, they'll release it for PC. It's done by Ensemble Studios as well so don't say it will be crap!

RaMDOM · 4 Sep 2007 at 23:19

looks good imo. Will probably get it if the controls are well implemented. Would prefer it on PC though. However the PC RTS market is a lot more competative. What have they got to compete with on the 360 - C&C3.

They bring it out on the PC then they might not have such a great game on there hands when compared to other titles.

Personally i think it looks crap, but i'm sure it'll sell shed loads on the xbox360 as everyone on it luvs the Halo series... :eek:

It wont be that good when it comes to pc, it didnt look as good as CoH there. It might have been the interface of it as it has to be simplifyed a bit just so it will work with a console controller, that didnt do it for me.

IMHO a RTS should only really be made for the pc in the first place, its where they belong!

I can't imagine playing RTS and FPS on a joy pad, how is it - really?

I don't mind FPS that much, not on the 360 pad anyway, RTS however I just can't play on a console.

Legless · 5 Sep 2007 at 00:46

I don't think a joypad is the major issue, as C&C3 got rave reviews on the console, its just that Halo RTS looks sucky... Just trying to milk every penny than can from the game, as they've said Halo 3 will be the last one in the series (well FPS series)...

But agreed, RTS really need a kb/mouse...

PoD · 5 Sep 2007 at 06:14

Looks real basic to me. Halo and all its monster hype can stay console side, anyway we have CoH and don't forget Supreme Commander.

Speaking of which the expansion is out at the end of next month.
