The Battle for Middle Earth II was a success on both PC and XBOX, so why limit Halo Wars to XBullshit again? If they create two different games for each platform (like buckshot said), then that will work. Why are you so afraid of SCII players fucking up another RTS game? How would they even manage that? Do you mean during development?Quote:

SCII players (at least on the Battle.net forums) whine about EVERYTHING because they lost a game as a result of that feature of the game. Not saying Halo Wars didn't have those, but not only were those complaints usually either justified or too rage-bidden to be taken seriously, they were consistently addressed by Robot whether via patching or on the forums.Quote:

Simply put I'd rather know it's on a platform it could be conceivably nice on than worrying if it'll be as shitty a port as H2V was for you guys.
If Halo Wars 2 could be a double-hit on the PC and Xbox, then I'm all for it. However, if it ends up being fucked because of the cross-platofrming, then I'd rather have it on Xbox since that was its original purpose as a console RTS anyways.
I only want it on PC for modding, guys. Kinda hard to get modding communities going and staying afloat for these pesky consoles...
Tell that to ironforge&grenadiac :v:Quote:

wondering if there's going to be any chance of backwards compatibility with 360 accessories (especially controllers).
The PS3 actually supported PS2 gamepads (with adapters) and even a few generic PC usb gamepads (logitechs I believe) that weren't actually intended for use with the PS3. It even supported generic USB headsets and Bluetooth headsets.
But given current trends, it's most likely they'll make another proprietary wireless connection for the controller, with no built in battery (extra for a rechargeable pack), and block compatibility with 360 gamepads
You'd be VERY surprised then.Quote:
