Andrew, u have probably heard of this, but just incase, this is to inform u, they r actually going to make an rts Halo, supposedly going to be good, but because of how there rnt a whole lot of races in the games, idk how this will blow over, so i guess we will c, lol.

yeah that'll be interesting to see how this turns out... soem Halo fans might reject it thinking it isnt true to the FPS Halo they love... but others might have been waiting for something like this. It'll also be interesting to see RTS controls on a 360... I imagine they have RTS's on the 360 already but idk how well the controls would work... it seems like it would be a bit hard to use a bit hard to be moving a cursor around with an analog stick all the time but idk soem ppl are prolly really acurate with that

Ya, halo wars should be pretty sweet.. Microsoft is going all out with halo and all that because they know that's the game where no1 else rivals them.. It should probably also expand the universe of Halo alot more... And on 360's and consoles with rts you don't have cursors.. you just got over from battalion to battalion or building to building and i think when you tell them wehere to go you either have a cursor or you just go over the blocks on the terrain? with the cursor i mean.. idk nicholas used to have Red Alert for the playstation and i watched him play it a couple times.. it's alot different but probably has been improved alot more since then all..

Yeah, well if they do come out with Halo Wars, im just hoping they dont make it exclusively for the 360, that would just be dumb, cause really, they would make much more money to make it for the pc because more pc gamers r interested in rts than console gamers. And yeah, i imagine it will prolly expand a whole new universe of Halo crap, lol.

yeah theyre gonna take advantage of all the drooling halo fanatics... and will expand the whole universe! But idk if they didnt make halo for the PC idk y they would make this for it...

Well, i dont mean exclusively for the pc, i mean for both 360 and pc on launch date, it would be a smarter move, atleast i think.

I doubt i will buy it tho, so its not that big of a deal to me. Im just not big on rts. Although, i do want Medeival II Total War, just cause with rts, i want to be able to control thousands of men, not just 4 units, lol.

i didn't read much of ur guys's relpies, but i read the opening, and i think it has some potential. The master cheif better be a hero though, not just a good unit. The only problem will probably be that there is only 3 possible teams: Human, Covenant, and the Plague guys. other games have made it with 3 teams (STARCRAFT!!!) but i dont know if they will be able to do it, unless they expand on the HALO universe a lot. It does have some potential, and hopefully it will get u guys into RTS games more...and u guys should all try Starcraft

Mondu · Subject: Re: Halo Wars Tue Sep 25, 2007 9:37 pm

I agree, i mean it does have potential, but i think sometimes it is a mistake to do things like this, because they r risking alot, it can ruin the series, or it can break new ground for it. O, and i told u i would play starcraft, IF U DOWNLOADED ME A FREE COPY, but im not willing to spend my own money on it no, lol.

haha nick, i got a copy and the expansion (which i haven't installed yet of course).. but i think halo wars is a clever way to keep on making money off of the now famous series..Halo 3 is the end.. (or at least it better be)..
so how could they ruin it? they can't really ruin the games already made.. and going off and hitting all the rts fans is a great way to keep going in that universe and not letting it die off so easily...

i think it's smart.. and knowing microsoft and them going crazy cuz macs are gaming computers now.. they'll make it cool

lol pj macs gaming computers? no defniately not. I dont get it... "Hey guys lets buy an overpriced mac so we can install bootcamp and install windows on it!!! yay!!!" Wtf that defeats the whole purpose

nick first of all I very very highly doubt they will release it on the PC at initial launch. They want people to get into the series and hear all their friends talking about it and have them buy a 360 so they get more money. I also would think they would have a cursor on for the interface... its like the only way i can think of that makes sense... But if they do find a good way to do the user interface im sure the game will do good because all the 360 owners will buy it just because it has the name Halo on it, and it had the potential to be a good game if they expand on the universe a little... and i think that would be easy for them to do
