Glad you made this, I think this is going to surprise people. Cows and hermits are quick to dismiss this game as a joke, but considering its made by Ensemble and its built from the ground up for the 360's controller, I think it will deliver a solid RTS. The graphics are nice as well, no surprise by Ensemble.

Game looks awesome, but the only problem I have with the game is using a controller over K/M.

Not sure if this is old, but looks like thy added mechs or armored suits into the UNSC side.

I think the gameplay might be a bit too simple to hold my interest. It's pretty much just building an army and charging in. That gets dull after a while, especially with only 2 races.

Looks awesome, I'm surely going to check this game out.

I'm a little concerned about the controls though.

Maybe you should wait for the demo to bash it k? Its not a PC port, its built for the 360 so quit acting like its only suitable with a kb/m.

I am getting the game because I want theh mythic maps too, but I am buying SO4 first. I rather support a jrpg first since it is a dying breed.

AM I the only person who wish Halo3 was more of a full out war like it is shown in these Halo War screens. I enjoyed Halo 3, but I was expecting more of a war for at least one of the levels.

Just because its built for a controller doesnt mean it's going to be as quick and accurate as keyboard and mouse. Surely you can't pull off the same number of actions per minute as a pc rts.

Halo3 is full of large scale wars and imo the graphics are great. Just look at the ark level. lots of units fighting at the same time

I know that, but it happened in scetions. I wanted to feel as though the odds were against me and by sheer luck since that is why cortana picked MC prevailed.

Thats the point, you dont NEED to pull off the same number of actions because its built specifically for the 360 controller, and as such the scale of battle and ease of selecting units will be customized for the controller. Its not a PC port so quit acting like it is, so blind by the stereotype its sad.

Looks great. I'm still skeptical about how the game will fare on a controller, but since this is being designed from the ground up wtih a controller in mind, I'm sure they'll find some way to make it work.

Looks like a cool game :D

I guess Halo finally made it back to it's RTS roots.

just as a side note: I looks to be similar to LotR. A bit of eye candy and fanfair. Let's hope the gameplay matches the pics.

I don't really mind the switch to a controller, but that's probably also because I'm not a really seasoned RTS fan. I played my share of RTS, but the part I disliked most about them was that while I was thinking about strategy - I couldn't because I had to micromanage so much. It always felt to me like the person that could perform the most actions per minute would be the best player, not the one using the best... strategy. I've always wanted to be able to outsource more things to AI, for example simple things like reacting to an attack, and retraining defense troops after that. Or of course have less stuff to do, so you can think about other things.

I think the 2 vs 2 online co-op will keep this from being dull :D - at least IMHO. I don't think any PC RTS games allow that.



Red Alert 3 does. E

dit: Wait 2vs2 co-op? How can you 2vs2 co-op?

This not precisely what I was looking for but have no time right now. I did read that and I'm certain it would utilize split screen like many 360 games.

Anyway this from IGN "Covenant forces are also waiting for you to lead them into battle in multiplayer skirmishes via the New Xbox Experience."

I'm afraid the gameplay is going to be too slow/simple for my tastes. I enjoy PC RTS where the action is fast-paced for the most part, and for consoles the only RTS I really enjoyed was CnC3 because the game was fast-paced to begin with (plus controls were fine, just other issues made it not as good as it's PC counterpart).

From what they've shown so far, it's basically just teams massing an army and throwing them at each other rather early on, with resource counters feeding your eco. :?

That just means you can use the Covenant in multiplayer.
