Halo WARS Dev=We have MAGIC in a disc :o

I don't know how to play RTS's (hehe) but want to learn.I am pretty excited for this game.killab2oo5

Bad way to learn. This is going to be a whoever has the bigger guns type for RTS. Which is very very boring.

Oh noes!

Teh magics

RTS games on the PC bore me but it could just be the platform, maybe this will be a fun game to play by the sounds of it.will_work4food

Yeah, I mean, it's magic afterall. Can't beat magic. It's like fighting Gandalf with a wooden stick. You're fried.

Geee WHIZ! it MUST BE GREAT THEN :shock:

Fact*

RTS on consoles blow hard

fact is if this game didnt have the Halo name no one would care

-the game is going to have to change a helluva lot to be 'great' after seeing those gameplay videos.

2. Yea you have got me there Pikmin was a pretty unique game, and un underrated one at that - maybe I should have said 360 rts games compared to their PC counterparts?

-

Proabably the thing that is the biggest worry is after the underhwelming - and quite frankly mediocre gameplay videos, ensemble say it'll be great because there is 'magic in the disk'. Eh?

Sure it'll live up to its Halo name. The Halo name is probably the only thing why people will actually buy this game, regardless they never played an RTS game before.

Halo Wars = people that never bought RTS game buy it 'cause of the Halo name

Halo Wars = it sells insanely well

Halo Wars = RTS developers see that an RTS game sold insanely good on the console, so they jump onto Microsoft's bandwagon

Halo Wars = more RTS games on 360.

Halo Wars = more multiplatform RTS games.

Halo Wars = RTS genre turns into a steaming pile of crap.

Halo Wars = Microsoft scratches its head... *hmm, what's the next genre we could destroy?*

...how did they destroy the fps genre with halo and why would that be the case now? That sounds retarded especialy after 2007... Crysis, bioshock, cod4, The OB... Yea what total destruction of the genre :S

Quincy Jones said there's magic on the Thriller LP. Maybe we shouldn't be so quick to be skeptical, right?FrozenLiquid

Its just a buzz word.

I'm not that partial to new RTS' unless i'm incredibly excited about them. Namely, I will only get an RTS if i'm going to spend the time to get really good at it.

That being said, I don't see this being a AAA title, but I think it will at least sell well and be good for a quick run-through (SP).

As far as it being a buzz word, yeah, I believe it is. They will definitely sell more copies because of a stupid little 'buzz word,' though. It raises a certain level of curiosity humans usually have."Magic? What does he mean by magic? I want to see this magic, give it to me!"

Does that mean it has a Harry Potter in it? :o

A Harry Potterzords!!!!11!one :o

Tell me, how many PC exclusive FPS games do you see between Crysis, Bioshock, COD 4, The Orange Box?

One.

That's it.

I don't want to play a multiplatform RTS game, because I surely DON'T want to play an RTS port from the console. And that will surely happen.

I'm not saying that they will destroy the RTS genre with Halo Wars. But, after Halo Wars, developers will start with more and more multiplatform RTS titles, and console ports on the PC. Soon enough there won't be any PC exclusive RTS, and THAT will destroy the genre on the PC. Just like FPS.

So what if they were multiplats? All 5 of those fps games were goty nominees... The only rts ports you will play are games that are built ground up from the 360. From those fps games, the only one that has the possibility of being a port from the console is halo 3, and if you don't want to play it no ones forcing you to, but don't act like the other fps's aren't fantastic games. If you think thats "ruining the genre" then you are delusional.

On the other hand I just checked youre sig, you know what, not worth arguing with you anymore. Just another fanboy.

That's right, I put in my sig that Halo 2 on the PC got 70%. What's untrue about that?
