Halo Wars Continued

yep, there's a halo involved. Second achievement down

I might buy this, if the reviews are good-- I'm a big fan of RTSs.

But I may just skip the cutscenes.

Whaaaaa. The cutscenes look amazing. Also, they are used to hide the loading screens, so you may not be able to skip them anyway.

This game had alot more potential, which they did not use.
The upgrade system also makes no sense at all.

For example, you can't have Gauss hogs and AA hogs at the same time, since gauss is a direct upgrade for the AA hogs. Another example: ALL marines upgrade into ODSTs, which makes no sense at all, though as far as I know this only applies to a certain leader.
And yet another example: the Hornet upgrades into the Sparrowhawk...

I'm feeling pretty sadface about the game.

I coulda told you that when it was announced to be on console only.

*generic Halogen rant just to keep the memory alive*

People need to stfu about the "RTS ON CONSOLE WUTWUT HERESY!!!"

No other RTS was made from the ground up for console. They were always ports.
If it worked so badly, dont you think the project would have been killed by now?

Ahem.

Bad games get published including their bad concepts (like making the player go through 20-30 minutes of driving to a fishing ground). It isn't an RTS, but there are plenty of games that get published that are bad. I'd say 90% of them.


Still, I hope that Halo RTS will be good.

Unfortunately that doesn't apply here. The only reason that this is failing imo is because ES focused too much on the casual gamer. They don't care about the stuff I just complained about.

It will probably work on console, it just could have been a better Halo game.

Let's judge it when it comes out, as to the quality of the game. (85% of points possible can be earned if this doesn't suck on 360)

You're one to speak of it failing, especially given that:

a) You haven't played the game
b) The game isn't even out yet

Good grief.
