The game looks fantastic. Almost as good as starcraft 2 imo

Don't get your hopes up. if it gets a 7.5 I'd be surprised. RTS on Consoles just don't work right. I know I know they have some knew unique controls, but still it's limited. For real RTS fans it won't cut it. Now it may score well *if* a non-RTS fan plays it because he won't know how good it could have been. I wish they went to the PC with this one instead.

This console RTS is built for the consoles its not a port like all the rest have been. And what is a "real" RTS fan :?

Someone that has played it on the PC and understand the history of RTS games (and enjoyed it).

I'd love for this game to get AAA, but I have serious doubts on it. RTS games (and flash games) are the only games I play on PC anymore, so I'd love to move RTS to consoles.

I think im a real RTS fan considering i loved most RTS on PC (dune2, warcraft, starcraft, c&c, etc) and this game looks great to me. Im a bit worried about the gameplay but as was sayed before, this is not a port, its. Im hyping it AA

Theirs no such thing as a "real" RTS player your sounding like an elitist PC gamer that thinks any console RTS = Casual mediocrity. I played starcraft and age of empires on my PC for years and I enjoy console RTS as well, so there isnt such a thing as "real" RTS players :roll:

I am not very good at RTS games but I have to admit I am probably picking this up. Doing it with the Halo universe just seems like it will be a blast. As long as the controls on the demo are good then I am picking this up.

that game looks alright. it should be on the PC because it is a RTS. RTSes on consoles usually are horrible with the controls in all. it does look like a interesting game to play.

I know I know...I hate the elitist hermits too. Trust me I hope they can pull this off, but I just don't see how. It will come down to this...it won't be as involved because you can't manage as well with a controller (unless they let us use the xbox keypad...then it would rock!). So the gameplay is going to be signficantly different then any RTS games we've played...which may be a very good thing. It's really going to depend on if they were able to change the gameplay to match the controller instead of how they always did it before and tried to match the controller to the gameplay. So if they did match the gameplay to the controller (which I bet they did)...the question is...will it be fun and scratch my RTS itch?
