Well, I wouldn't call the MP excellent so much as a way to be killed by Warthogs(I've only played maybe 4 matches, and three of them involved me or one of my allies getting swarmed by about 50 Warthogs, and then a swarm of Hawks or MAC Blasts to finish us off. The other one had a leaver on the other team, so we had an advantage...XD), and some of those single-player missions are a bit of a pain IMO, but they're pretty original, and otherwise it's really fun, and if you played MP with friends who didn't rush, it'd probably be awesomeness...none of my friends play it. XD

It's not a game for everyone, Halo fans prolly won't like it cause it's not an FPS and hardcore RTS fans well find it to casual. But I loved the demo and just kept playing it over and over, so I ended buying it. But I admit that unless I play with a friend, MP sucks pretty hard because no one communicates and I always get leader-rushed.

I like it, it's quite fun. It is a little simplistic though and this is coming from someone who really hasn't played many RTS's.

for a console rts, it's pretty well made and polished. if you come in expecting a complicated rts that stills runs well with a functional control scheme, then you should not be judging

Im a huge Halo and RTS fan but this game is kinda mediocre to me. Its got a pretty good storyline though and I like that in games.

I played the demo and liked it a lot at first but it got old. i figured the same thing would probably happen with the full game, so I probably won't be buying the full version. Better game than I expected from what I could see, but I got tired of it. I shouldn't even talk since I've only played the demo.

I enjoyed the demo. I havn't played an rts but lort bfme 2 which i enjoyed so much. The demo was fun, i might consider a buy if the online is any good. I mean 3 vs 3 sounds fun.

the online is very good. there's consistently 15000 to 20000 players online. it's the most popular console rts. probably mostly cuz it's halo. but that doesn't mean it can't be a decent well made game. it is definitely the most polished rts on consoles so far

I love the game, and it's SO MUCH better than the demo. The multiplayer is where it shines, and theres THOUSANDS of people playing it online at all times of days.

I play it often with one or two friends 3 on 3, and even enjoy the 1 on 1 matches. I've had a couple 1 on 1 games where they've lasted almost 3 hours, it's insane.

My record 1 on 1 is 20/35, but I've probably lost 8 matches due to people using the prophet of regret and rushing.

I Just hate rushers, that's what ruins the online experience imo, I've ALWAYS been able to counter rushes from the humans, but whenever someone rushes for the convenant, I can only keep them off for so long and by the time I can re-build they rush me even more than cleanse me.

I really don't think it's fair. I can't rush a Prophet of regret even if I wanted to. I upgrade my warthogs and put out spartans and turrets just to be safe and I still can't beat someone who rushes with Prophet of regret. It really pisses me off and it seems like it's alot easier for them to upgrade.

There's been a couple of people who rush me and I counter it, then take my troops to spy and notice they have no protection so they end up resigning because their rush fails.

I feel like people just rush to get a quick win and boost their records up and it makes me mad most of the time. You can say that I suck, and say what you want, but they need to patch the game online or do something to improve it. I know i'm not the only person who hates rushers with the convenant.

here's why the covenant can rush so much. their late game sucks compared to unsc. unsc can spam their super units (vulture, hawk, grizzlies), and the covenant only get at most 2 scarabs that are easy targets that go down fast. and the game openly states that covenant units are not as strong as unsc units (look at the manual) this balance system forces the covenant to attack early and cripple the unsc or piss the player off so they drop. i play 1v1 halo wars a lot. i rarely play 3v3 or 2v2 unless it's with friends who i know and coordinate with. when i play 1v1, i've worked out (mainly through trial and error) a decent strat for countering brute and prophet rushes. basically you just need to last through early game, and mid and late you dominate the covenant easily

I like halo wars, but the campaign is only fun once through. And online games take way to long.

Chess is a timesless clasis game.

That quote is a testament to the strategies involved with HaloWars then - and it is a real time strategy game with space marines and Aliens.lol

HaloWars is Sci-fi chess in motion. !!!

btw I love the game and can't wait for HaloWars 2

I really hope they have the flood as a playable third race and have a covenant campaign

I'll be all over that game!!

I just have to ask, did you buy it?! i really hope you say no, because if you said yes you really have no right to say you hate the game.. But, I didnt buy it. I play RTS games for unique strategy with action that is done with original units.(like modern world=empire earth, or mystical=age of mythology, or medieval=age of empire.) Now why would i play one where its just a bunch of halo units. I guess i just dont like halo enough.

It was ok from what I've played but I get more kicks from playing the C+C series on PC. Still thinking of renting it though :)

people need to stop confusing "i don't like this game" with "this game sucks" your own personal preference doesn't mean the game is bad

A couple of my buds who have never played an RTS enjoyed Halo Wars. It's definetly an 8/10 game at the least, and I don't see why GS gave it such a low score, wait nvm, I do know why, but I wontbother to explain.

Anyways, the game is ALOT better than the demo, so if you managed to like the demo AT ALL then you'll definetly ENJOY the actual game.

I really like it, but i can't get past the 4th mission. It frustrates me and makes me think, the makings of a great strategy game.
