Halo Wars Continued

[Bodzilla]

but the consoles dont offer enough control to truly use and manipulate the Vast strategic types of play available with an RTS.

i used to playstarcraft semi-competitive on the net and it's just rediculous and impossible to be able to play and make use of the game in that way.

Until they ship this game with a mouse and keyboard you just wont be able to play it as well as it could.

TLR, CONSOLES MAKE EVERYTHING SHIT

You guys also have to realize that when a game comes out exclusively for the "Xbox 360" it's just a limited time exclusive. I'm trying to think of a 360 exclusive that has not come to PC after a year or two, none are coming to mind... I will be buying a 360 for this game though, I love Halo to much to not get one.

but thats the thing fucking ports from a Console to a PC dont work because they dont want to overhaul the control system to make it work properly for a fucking PC.

cause that might make a dint in the cash cow.

You'd buy it for this, but not H3?

I'll be getting that as well, I Couldn't afford a 360 at the time. Now I work at Future Shop so not only can I afford it, but I get employee discounts. I'm going to get an Elite package with my next paycheck (our store has a holiday bundle with 4 free games) and hook it up to the Logitech Z-5500 speakers I got with my first paycheck as well as my computer monitor.

TL;DR, CONSOLES MAKE EVERYTHING SHIT

Easy there brotato; I thought Starcraft 64 was pretty awesome.

If anyone has seen the more recent gameplay vidocs, I would have to say I'm rather intrigued by what Ensemble has put into the game. Definitely a shift in gameplay.
