I just got the limited edition of Halo Wars, and will soon pop it in. It looks like pure awesome, but it is still awaiting my snobby gamer-approval. Anybody play it yet? And if so, what did you think?

I'm a sizable Halo fan, but I'll prolly avoid Halo Wars. Strategy games aren't my thing...

I'm neither a Halo Fan nor do I like that kind of 3D RTS ... so it's a nope from me.

Sometimes... i feel like the only person in the world who likes RTS games. Age of Empires II... best strategy game ever.

What sold me on AoE II was the formation ability. Yours truly loves playing as the Chinese, and there's nothing more effective then crushing your enemy using a pincer squad of Chu Ko Nu's behind a box formation of Champions protecting a couple of monks. Toss in the occassional Horse Archer and you've got an terrifying assault force. (Oh, and trebuchet's. You gotta have trebuchet's lol)

RTS games are good, you ain't the only one, and i disagree with you, try supreme commander and supreme commander: forged alliance, that is if your PC doesn't explode with the graphic and processor requirements. Very Happy

sorry, i'll contribute to the actual topic now:

i haven't played Halo wars, but i'll only get it on one condition: it's on PC, i played Halo 1 & 2 but 3 isn't getting anywhere near me until i can play it on my PC and that's that, considering this i don't know how you guys are supposed to aim well with an analog stick, seriously.

Have you tried Halo on the Xbox? It actually works really well. That's what drew me to the franchise in the first place.

no i haven't, in fact i don't own one, since there are no games i could want for it but the halo series, it would just be a waste of space and money
