[QUOTE="cuddlesofwar"]C&C and BFME2 are very playable on console. Yes they're not the most complex of RTS, but there are few that can boast to be significantly more complex. Anyways ... when's this game going to be released?cobrax25
you would be hard pressed to find an RTS simpler than C&C or BFME2....
Really, with the possible exception of WIC...I really cant think of any at all.

I said nothing about how difficult it would be to play those with a controller. He sat there and tried to say PC RTSes have "complex" strategies when there's no such thing as a "complex" strategy for an RTS. Once you play whatever game it is you think is hard for a few hours, its very repetitive and fairly easy to see a pattern of strategies develop. And no the games he listed are not hard at all, no matter how long the tutorials are. hopesfall2own
In terms of what you can do with most RTS games out there, they are extraordinarily complex in terms of strategy. Especially when you start dealing with micromanaging. Heck, Sins alone has more complexity than you could ever want from a strategy game.
what exacly is so complex about C&C or BFME2? they are generic in every sence of the word. cobrax25
Indeed, but they are still quality RTS on both consoles or PC, and both cater to very versatile playsty1es. However, with EA's patches (BFME2 is a bit more complex than CnC3 when it comes to combat, but CnC3's eco is far more complex) it seems the game still isn't completely balanced yet. WiC is the most simplistic RTS on the market though, by far. CoH is right above all the previous mentioned ones, and Supreme Commander is definately up there at the top when it comes to complexity. Halo Wars bears a ton of resemblances to BFME2 (ranging from powers, to units, to the eco), so I can't see it being too difficult to grasp, or fast paced for that matter.
From a technical perspective, those screens looked pretty good. Although, I can't help but say that the character design is pretty mediocre (no fault of Ensemble's of course).
On the subject of the controller, yeah, it's not the ideal input method. It's possible that it could work out alright, but it'll never be perfect.
This game will be the start of the downfall of the popularity of the halo brand.Many casuals will pick it up not knowing it's actual genre and will be owned and dissapointed when the game will begin.

Then it's their fault for being idiots and not know what an RTS is. And how can you say it will ruin Halo's popularity? If there are casuals that pick it up and like it, wouldn't that increase its popularity? :roll: Keep trying..

Now I am optimistic that this game will be great. But I also believe that this will be the Halo game that causes an overall lack of Halo appeal among casuals.
Looks awesome many people are major RTS fans so it should hit well but it being on a console who knows. Bungie hasn't failed us yet so who knows maybe RTS on console won't be bad.

[QUOTE="TPOJ-TPO"]The game looks great and OXM just played the 1/3 of the game and said it's almost as fun playing Halo: CE when it first came out.agentfred
I don't mean to doubt them, but does OXM have much experience with good PC RTSes?I doubt they only play 360 all the time, besides, they've given bad RTS games the scores the deserved. For console, Halo Wars might be great, considering the controls are easy to get used to.

Yeah, that's probably true. Still, I would like to get my hands on this myself before I make up my mind.
I don't want to be another person going "but the controls"... however I'm worried, because C&C3 was fun-but-frustrating. The controls were adequate, but I always felt they were the limiting factor in my enjoyment.
