Halo Wars announced for Xbox 360

[JoPh]

what made halo great is the coop experiance.

most pcs have given that up. the experiance of sitting next to your teammate makes it enjoyable and fun.

I seriously doubt that.

Did you watch the trailer?

did you? last i checked, a nice CGI trailer doesn't guarantee a great game at all.

I've been waiting since 1997 for this. This will beat Prey if it's ever finally released in terms of development time.

Wow someone actually makes the Halo universe look cool. Never understood how people could stand the cartoony crap Bungie tries to make dramatic. Is there anything less menacing than those brightly colored little alien things which squeal in high pitched tones?

Doesn't guarantee a great game but Halo Universe + Ensemble Studios = :thumbsup::thumbsup: at this point.

Yep. Starcraft was successful for many reasons. Right now, the only thing this game has going for it is it's license. There has never been a truly successful console rts.

Halo was huge because it's the best fps on consoles, undoubtedly. It succeeded partially on its merits (multiplayer), partially on marketing, and mainly by having no real competition. It's still a mediocre game by PC fps standards.

Which isn't to knock it. Perhaps you are right, that it can be the first great console rts game. It's got no competition, they are going to market the hell out of it, and if its decent, it'll sell like hotcakes based on the license.

But comparing it to starcraft 2? Give me a break.
