So I bought Halo Wars....

So I bought halo wars expecting a 6.5-7.5 game, plus the amazing mythic map pack. I was incredibly surprised! Halo wars is actually really good.

I feel it is a good 8.5-9.0 game. Halo wars shines in Multiplayer like halo 3, it is a simple RTS but it is hard to master. The graphics are superb, and overall it is a great game. I feel the demo isn't an adquate representation of Halo wars. You must play multiplayer to fully feel it's greatness. I recommend at least renting it.

PS: I use the arbiter, any tips?

However, Halo wars isn't complicated enough to warrant a buy from the hardcore group, I'm pretty much new to RTS's.

Any don't even bother of posting if you aren't a true gamer who can appreciate good games.

However, Hermits should just stick to their PC and play Starcraft.

How many PC RTSes have you played? Just curious.

Ya apparently cows dont venture to toehr review sites or step outside in the real world to see Halo Wars is both a quality agme and well received.

P.S: I like it when people use the arbiter...........the arbiter sucks lol. Easy to beat.

Halo will always have presentation going for it.Halo Warshas good balance, it's fun, it's a good game...9.0? No. Real Time Strategy, not really. But then again most RTS's are not actually strategic. E:TW, or hell any of the TW games aren't very strategic, since 95% of PC games are typically following the idea of amassing large forces and crushing your opponent, I.E. not very strategic. Dawn of War suffers from this. Starcraft suffers, as with Warcraft. Halo Wars, because of it's limitations strangely enough, forces you to be strategic. With that said, it's just an above average game.

Story blows. 7.5 here.

True but for an RTS i'm expecting more. Maybe it's just because RTS have higher standards than other genres i guess.

You can perform many tactics in SC while in Halo Wars you can't. Such as Hydralisk stacking, mutaballs, burrow jumping

In Starcraft, yes it does. Strategy is everything; one slip-up, and you're gone. The smarter person is the victor ;)

My friend really likes it, but he says a few of the units are overpowered such as the scarab.

Anyone who plays think the same way?

Just because anybody can play it doesn't mean they will be even decent at it.

I enjoy the game tremndously and I've been playing RTS for years. Good game in my opinion.

[QUOTE="-Snooze-"] It don't take depth for someone to be better them someone else at a game. Is Halo a deep game? No. Yet it's used alot fo the time for highly competitive matches. Same with StarCraft. Is football a "deep" sport? No, it's simple, anyone can play it. -Snooze-

I didn't say football is super deep, nor did I say SC's depth is because it is a sport, nor did I even say SC's depth is proven because it is a sport in some far-off tiny little country.

Starcraft is deep because the sheer number and variety of strategical options available to you at any given second is ridiculous, short and simple. No matter what your opponent does, you can counter, but only if you've made the right decisions -- if you're smart.

Gamestop gave it a 6.5 because they were expecting it to be a PC RTS.

PC RTS and 360 RTS are completely differant, cause pc has a mouse and keyboard while 360 had a more complex controller.
