Great game. The only way to make it better is a mouse and keyboard.

I've been cautiously optimistic about this game since it was announced. While an RTS set in the Halo universe sounded interesting - the fact that it would be for the 360 and not the pc was worry-some. Thankfully the folks at Ensemble know what they are doing and delivered an RTS that plays well on the 360 controller and is a good middle ground for RTS cherries and seasoned veterans.

A word of warning - PLAY THE DEMO BEFORE YOU BUY. The controls take a little getting used to and the lack of hot keys can make micro managing an issue. Which brings me to my only issue with it. Without a keyboard and mouse micromanaging your units when the combat gets hectic is nearly impossible. I would love to see a patch for keyboard/mouse interface. Because throughout the campaign I was really missing my hot keys.

It is what it is. It's not for everyone but worth giving a try and if you like it - great. See you online.
