PoLiX Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 I wondered how a game like this would do on a console. Cause normally they're a lot easier to play on PC, but man. Any issues I would of thought of they have covered, and I've easily killed 8hrs of play since downloading it yesterday. I started having my doubts after I pre-ordered it and a few people mentioned how it probably would be hard or suck on console compared to PC, but every doubt is gone from my mind. I want the full game now... damn it. haha. Try it out, you won't be dissapointed. Hell, it's got my looking for my old starcraft cds again.
BlueGoku Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 I enjoyed the demo as well. Looking forward to this one for sure.
rootbear75 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Posted February 10, 2009 i wish they would have allowed you to do 1v1 on that map in online multiplayer... that would've been awesome... but no, they make the MULTIPLAYER clickable, then take you to a promo
Acer Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 Did you guys hear, when you order or buy Halo wars forgot which one, you get a code for the mythic maps.
rootbear75 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 no, only if you buy/preorder the limited edition version... the one for $70.00 if the other things with it aren't worth the $20 extra, you might as well buy the normal one, and buy the maps with MS points
valate Posted February 25, 2009 Report Posted February 25, 2009 yea the demo was rlly fun. i enjoyed it
op2rules Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Omg I am going to have to refrain myself big time on the following post... Halo wars is crap! You can NOT bring rts to console. A real rts anyways. Pro rts is about colony management while being able to make the right decisions at the right time all at the same time as battle tactics etc. This game lacks 2/3. Having literally no colony to manage except direct upgrades and a single resource that brings itself in, the game has an absolute zero depth to it. Its all battle boom boom bam yay I have my halo masterchief man in the battlefield this is so colorful!!! yay!!!! I feel this game is very insulting to any pro RTS gamer. It's beyond pathetic, it can't be explained in words how much of a FAIL this is. And the part that is even worse is it's still going to sell perfectly like every other piece of crap that's on 360.
rootbear75 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 for an RTS on a CONSOLE, it is damn good. for it being a real RTS, compared to command and conquer on the computer, etc.. of course it sucks... but its still hella fun
op2rules Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Well then if its gunna suck on console either work harder on it finding a way to make it not suck, or don't release anything at all.
Acer Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Op2 do you even have a 360? Just a question a little off topic.
op2rules Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Yes... and its more modded then baby jesus
Suicide_Run Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 I want to try it but don't have a 360 =( You can NOT bring rts to console. A real rts anyways. I feel this game is very insulting to any pro RTS gamer. It's beyond pathetic, it can't be explained in words how much of a FAIL this is. And the part that is even worse is it's still going to sell perfectly like every other piece of crap that's on 360.Its not a real comparison if your comparing something that is completely different. its pointless to compare a console RTS to PC RTS. Its like comparing a 0.22 rim bullet vs a magnum bullet and saying the 0.22 bullet doesn't have enough penetration power as the magnum but they are both considered bullets. Between, did anyone play N64 Starcraft? If so, compare it with that lol
Acer Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 They already added a Mythic playlist. If you have live and you do matchmaking you should know.
rootbear75 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 Yes... and its more modded then baby jesusreported to Microsuck
rootbear75 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 Yo root what's your gamer tag man??
rootbear75 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 whee, got it on tuesday... the best part of Halo wars is the Deathmatch mode of skirmish.All units start with full upgrades, and you start off with super high resources.Basically its a clusterfuck of units... build and rush, build and rush, build and rush...
Incomplete Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 You make it sound so boring. I played the demo and liked it though.
rootbear75 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 You make it sound so boring. I played the demo and liked it though.that was only one mode... its the funnest ya, and its going to get boring fast ya.. but thats not all skirmish is fun... tactics you definantly need to worry about, as well as timing (like managing your supplies.. they take so long to regenerate) campaign is interesting... on mission 6 atm...
PoLiX Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Posted March 6, 2009 Got it, but haven't had time to sit down and actually play it. Beat 2 levels real quick then had to run out.
Incomplete Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 I hope there are many more upgrades available on the full game than there are on the demo. I like to start from scratch, get resources and work my way to a stronger army to try and defeat the enemy.
PoLiX Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Posted March 7, 2009 Just built a tank and Warthog batallion (sp?) on Blood Gulch and dominated. Granted 1v1, but still, hella fun. Only additions to demo: lots more maps, up to 3v3 AI/Online Multiplayer, UNSC Leaders have special units, special ugrades/starters, and a powerful unit. Same with covenants on special units. IE: Forge has the Grizzly Mechs instead of Elephants, forget his power unit, but all your supply depots are automatically heavy supply depots on building. Other little things, but i'll save em for when you get the game.
