After playing Halo Wars demo and being completely impressed,It makes you wonder in WHY THE HECK WOULD MICROSOFT DISBAND THE STUDIO. All of the AoE PC games where great and Halo Wars is looking much much better than i every thought with great grahpics, easy controls,perfect camera angles and a outstanding story line........Not a good move MS you put a hurting on gamers because we are the ones that will miss out on the great games that Ensemble would produce

Ensemble Studios made excellent games, and it seems crazy they are getting shutdown. MS seems to have targetted and removed all of its studios that predominantly made PC games

I was definitely impressed with halo wars. I played it all last night and was not expecting much from it. It's sad to see such a talented studio being forced apart.

After playing the debug kit of Halo Wars earlier this week, I found it not that great... Compared to the likes of Dawn of War 2, which looks and plays mighty impressive, even though the Beta is only available.

isnt dawn of war a pc RTS? I'm sorry but you cant compare console and pc RTS games quite so easily consoles just arent suited to RTS as the pc so they are diliberatly down scaled to make them practical so in that respect halo wars is well designed

You can't really compare a RTS PC game to a console game, I feel that on HW they fixed the Camera issue that have bugged console strategy for so long,Civ Rev was the first now HW capped it off

I downloaded it today, and was really impressed. I'm not a huge RTS fan, but I have played a few on the computer. It's hard to compare between a RTS on computer and one on the Xbox, but Halo Wars does a good job getting close to it. Definitely the best attempt at an RTS on a console then any other I've seen. Will pick it up eventually, when I can come up with the money.
