From playing the demo it seems there is no base building, just unit control. For a game that focuses only on the combat aspect of an RTS it has no combat depth. There aren't a vast array of skills or special moves, and selecting units is a pain.(Thats what you get for being a console RTS I suppose) Furthermore, the weapons aren't very balanced. Throwing grenades from one unit is powerful enough to destroy a building, while it takes 15 seconds of firing with three Warthog chainguns to do the same thing. I don't expect to have much unit variety unless they invent new units just for this game. Overall its just a lack of complexity.
Well, it was just a demo. It's not really fair to judge game based on that alone. you just gave the game a AAA rating based on the demo alone....and some CGI cutscenes.
[QUOTE="Deiuos"]If you're talking about me "spoiling" information that was already released in the novels, then I might as well not mention the Flood ever again, for people who never played Halo 1. Or, hell, might as well not mention that the Master Chief isn't a robot! Spoilers!! killerfist
Not everyone has read the novels, that includes me. And there is a big difference between spoiling something in a 7 year old game and a game that has yet to be released. I don't have any spoiler information to spoil for the game that has yet to be released. All the information I know is from old and already released information.
The reason why the CG in the game is amazing is because they were made by Blur Studios. They animate for a lot of games like Warhammer, Warcraft, and even commericals. I personally think they are one of the best CG studios; even better than Square-enix.
