Why would they release an RTS game to compete with an FPS series?

They'll release it on the PC for the extra sales and because the conversion won't take them five minutes. Should be a good game too, I'm looking forward to it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Er, but we're talking about Halo Wars, not Quake Wars. If you're not going to bother reading through a thread before you reply to it, at least read the bloody title.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

i'll wait until it gets released for the PC. It will, eventually, when Microsoft has completely dried out the console market for it, and try to pump as much money it has left in it by doing a PC release, because RTSes on consoles always sucked, and so will this time as well.

You know, I was tempted to delete this post but you're fairly new to MW so I'll leave it.

Please do appreciate though that posts like this are of no use to anyone and further posts like this will be deleted and will possibly result in you getting banned from the the MW forum. Fine, you might not like the Xbox consoles but we do and we like talking about the games on them. If you're not here for constructive discussion, you can fuck off, frankly and luckily, I'm in a position where I can make your fucking off a pretty permanent event. This is your first and final warning.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I played LOTR-BFME2 and honeslty didn't like it compared to the PC version of it(I played the 1st BFME on pc).

Furb, that's a pretty pointless comment though because very few games are as good on consoles as they are on PC. The difference is that you can generally get everything you need to play the console version for a couple of hundred quid whereas you need thousands to get a top spec pc and keep it current. PCs tend to lend themselves to RTS games better because a keyboard and mouse are pretty essential as a rule and nobody to date has put together a really effective joypad control system.

That said, I played Warhammer:Shadow of the Horned Rat on PS1 using a Playstation mouse (Controller gimics, lol) and I loved it. The game was pretty slow paced though with not too many units in your army so didn't suffer from lack of a keyboard. I can't imagine ever playing something like Homeworld with a joypad for example.

At the end of the day though, this is the MW forum and we're here to talk about Xbox games, not PC games. Lets keep the "MY £2,000 PC HAS BETTAR GRAFICS THAN UR 360, NUB" comments to a minimum please (This is a warning to anyone thinking of posting commetns like that, not having a go at Furbs).

I was speaking idiomatically.

Oh hey, game come out in a month or so, epic thread ressurection.

I got an email from GAME telling me that if I pre-order this I'll get a Warthog with flames up the side in-game. As far as pre-order bonuses goes, that's pretty weak. The email also revealed the contents of the limited edition:

• Three unreleased Halo 3 maps: Assembly, Orbital and Sandbox.
• Limited Edition Box: Collectable Steelbook.
• Unique in-game vehicle: A Covenant Wraith.
• Hardbound Graphic Novel: Halo Wars: Genesis.
• Six Leader Cards: Powerful in-game characters to turn the tide of battle!
• Spirit of Fire Patch: Begin as a Spirit of Fire crew member!
• Game disc, manual, and Xbox Live trial card.

A game disc! Whoop!

I'm probably not going to buy this as I'm not a huge RTS fan but it looks like there's some more DLC on the way for Halo 3 at any rate.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Makes sense, if you were going to buy it anyway, although the first three will probably drop to free when the second free get released. That's generally their sales strategy.

FELIPE NO
