Honestly, aside from maybe some story fillers that may or may not be in the books or other games, this game was pointless. I'm sitting here trying to quickly move around the map to where I need to be, wish I could mass control certain buildings for faster que and maybe, just maybe, hotkey units.

This was just stupid to release for 360 and not PC.

Aside from that, Halo Wars isn't that bad of a game. Many unique units allowing for a varied playing style and the Arbiter may just be a little rigged with his annoying Rage ability... Fully upped, he eats everything in sight in a matter of ten seconds.

waiting on release in UK I believe. Is online play good?

Haven't got to try it yet; Xbrick RRoD'd right before we picked up the pre-order.

if you play starcraft alot which im fairly sure you do since youre on a starcraft forum... im sure youll be dissipointed, no matter how good it is console RTS games always suffer from either sluggish gameplay,fps issues,being really dumbed down,or various other issuesl for halo wars imma go with dumbed down. ill stick with starcraft thanks.

From what I've heard, Halo Wars suffers from everything in the above post. I heard you pretty much don't even have to worry about resource gathering.

Yeah, people just see "Halo", and then they jizz in their pants because of another Halo game, though it isn't even being made by the same people that made the FPS Halos.
