Nice. This could be a game to watch out for. Hopefully they'll pull off the console RTS mechanics as well as Battle for Middle-Earth II did.

because it has Halo in its name.

Pretty much. I'm just talking about the controls. Imean the 360 controls aren't terrible on BfME on the 360 but they are... Odd. I have more faith for halo wars though, due to 1)the developer and 2)this was developed for the 360 in mind.

Well he should've at least watched the video to see the game mechanics before judging based on other console RTS games. Halo Wars seems to be heading in the right direction in my opinion.

The video wasn't that great. It's looking like this game won't have that much depth. We'll have to see though.

I think the Halogen mod for C&C Generals would have been better. Halo is a good universe for RTS, but I just don't get the Halo feeling from this.

Its not going to flop horribly. Its just not going to be that good. Its made by the same guys who made the GOTY in 2003. Too bad they went with the Halo formula a little too much. They need more depth, and the orbital bombardment time deployment time was stupid. It took like1 seconds-maybe thats just for the demo though

It did, Bungie made great RTS games in the past, and they were going to do the same with Halo.

It looks decent enough for me. Nothing jaw dropping but it still has a long time before it comes out. Plus, I trust ensemble to make a good rts, and since their making halo wars from ground up i'm sure they will manage to make a good enough controll scheme. Not that it will be as good as kb/m but still.

How can you call the Myth series Halo? :lol: :lol:

That was a very mild RTS. I've played them all. Halo Wars is gonna be similar to command and conquer and Age of empires, which is WAY different then the Myth games. I bet you, most of you have never played the Myth games have you? :|

"

On July 21, 1999, during the Macworld Conference & Expo, Steve Jobs announced that Halo would be released for Mac OS and Windows simultaneously.[52] Before this public announcement, game industry journalists under a non-disclosure agreement had previewed the game in a private showing during E31999,[53] and were reportedly amazed.[52][53] Bungie Studios later stated an even earlier development build of the game centered on real-time strategy and was "basically Myth in a sci-fi universe."[54]"

Well depends on what score you consider a "flop". I predict AA from it, so it needs to get A to flop in my books. With the makers of Age of Empires, and Bungie working at their sides, how can it possibly flop? And their main goal is to make the controls work and be fluid.

Bungie is not Ensemble Studious. I never said Myth was Halo or like Halo Wars. I have played all of the Rts games you have mentioned and many more. I was stating that Bungie made a good RTS Series with Myth and they were going to make Halo a good RTS too, but they decided to make Halo a FPS instead.

Ummm, I have played the Myth series, Age of Empire series, and Command and Conquer series... Myth was cool for what it was, but I enjoyed the Age of Empire series the most.

What are you talking about? Halo started out as an RTS on the Mac in 1997, Myth and Halo have no connection.

This game looks like it could be fun, but my biggest problem with it is the lack of realistic scaling. I mean how hard is it to make the scarab and warthog or really any vehicle for that matter actual size? I mean a couple of soldiers stacked onto each other are as tall as the scorpion. I would rather sacrifice less units on screen for true scale. Company of Heroes pulled it off so why can't Halo Wars?

I was referring to Myth in terms of its greatness, but I guess he has a lesser thought process.

the last age of empires was a disappointment in the gameplay department for fans of the series, to say the least. they concentrated too much on graphics and making the water look as pretty as possible. halo wars looks meh for some reason to me, maybe cus of starcraft 2...

Company of Heroes ruined all future C&C type games for me :( No cover system, no destructible areas... Only thing going for this preview was it was Halo. I didn't see anything mindblowing. Hopefully Ensemble Studios will surprise me.

I have to agree there.....the only RTS I have really loved since then is World In Conflict (Beta)...and that takes a lot of pointers from COH....but has a far better multiplayer then COH ever did.

I will like Starcraft 2 though....because of its amazingly good balance, and very distinct units and races.

demo just came out.

play the multiplayer though (single player is alright but not as good)

it takes some time to get used to though (no base building, recourse gathering)

its also class based....

it basiclly plays somewhat like BF2 would as an RTS....though the battles are much larger (thanks to 16 players online, and join in progress)

I like that it looks like Bungie made it based on how true to the style of Halo it is. But I can't get excited about an RTS unless it's made by Blizzard.

I liked Comapany of heroes better (prefer a more realistic setting)

I just wish they would improve their online features...

I cant wait till Opposing fronts though.

[QUOTE="Shazenab"]Looks all right, but i've tried rts on the 360 before and it was terrible.Ninja-Vox

Did you play C&C3? It was awesome...

It was a really cool game but the controls for the 360 completely ruined it for me. RTS should have mouse and keyboard support on consoles or just not be on them at all.
