Draken Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 maybe it is because they enjoy their PC RTS games therefore play them alot so they can see how terrible Halo Wars is in comparison to PC RTS's that came out years ago? mmm I fail to see your point, if you played the game may be you noticed how it was designed 100% for gamepad controls and it's impossible to compare it side to side with a PC RTS. An excellent quote from TeamXbox review: Let me say this in the kindest way possible: shut the hell up. You may have certain expectations of the genre if you?ve ever played another game like it on the PC. But seriously, let go of your expectations and accept what they?ve done here.

Olemus Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I would give it minimum an 8, the work theyve done to make it work 100% with the xbox360 controller as opposed to a keyboard and mouse is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad. Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Damn, just played the first Act. Hate to say it but..... I love it :| How would you guys rate it against C&C3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draken Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Damn, just played the first Act. Hate to say it but..... I love it :|How would you guys rate it against C&C3? C&C3 and even RA3 are both excellent RTS tittles, with great cinematics (well .... a little cheesy) and great gameplay .... on PC, they are PC ports and play like PC ports, while Halo Wars feels like home with the X360 controller, is dynamic, 0 micromanagement, great graphics, nice sounds effects and a superb sound track, plus it's Halo :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo003 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I think Ensemble made this game with halo audience in mind not the regular AoE or C&C. Besides Keyboard has minimum 108 keys while controller has 16 (I haven't counted so sue me if I'm wrong). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad. Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 God damn it, I'm SO stuck on 04 - Arcadia City. Have to last 20 mins, but I've been to 2 mins, 20 seconds and now 55 seconds before I fail. ARGH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draken Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 hehe yup that's a hard one Tip: rush to build a base and create many hornets (those at the start aren't enough) and place them covering each drop ship (I think number 3 is impossible to save) that gives you time to escort some citizens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you manually set them to escort? Also how to you manually set up a base? I think I've forgotten most of the tutorial already :rofl: I just set them up when I'm given a place to build one :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've forgotten most of the tutorial already :rofl: I just set them up when I'm given a place to build one :p No and no, you have to wait until you're allowed to build one (like you're are doing now) and you have to move your troops to key points in order to escort them (blow those towers where the elites have plasma cannons). Watch for Banshee fire, they are the ones who blows up the dropships. I have to try this mission like mmm... 5 times hehe, so don't give up (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
