The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
You've got the Marines going up against the Covenant twenty years prior to the events of the first Halo game.
After some time with the demo's campaign and many playthroughs of the skirmish mode, I'm pretty jazzed for this.
It seems to combine and distill a lot of what I like about RTS games like Command and Conquer: Generals, and Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War while remaining really simple. Seriously, if you cannot handle this interface fucking kill yourself with a cinderblock.
halo wars? more like fisher price presents: my first rts
Well. Console.
it's not that different
you get anal retentive on unit production and your money, and spam shit
wow
you need a mouse and keyboard for that
good job
Man I'm not saying it is a bad thing or whatever. Just that if it were way dumbed down I would not be terribly surprised or disappointed. I mean historically, console RTS have been kind of bad like that. But they've been putting enough out for the 360 that they have probably come a long way since say... Starcraft 64.

So I gave the demo a try and like it a good bit. I'd like to get the limited edition or whatever, but don't think I'll be able to do that.
FUCK
YOU
make no fucking mistake
the demo's covenant army, for example
if you have enough money you don't even need to build soldiers
you can just upgrade the prophet of regret and KILL EVERYONE WITH HIS FUCKING MONEY GUN
ryan i wish you had it, too. we could get the co-op achievements
i kept having random people join my game as my G-Unit accomplice and they kept skipping cutscenes
i missed the stripper scene!
should you spam hunters, you are unstoppable as the beams never cease
if you build the scarab, you are unstoppable
if you kill your forces with the money gun and have enough pop for a second scarab you are laser jesus and a fucking asshole
you are a dyke
nope
it's basically a gussied up dawn of war sans shiny armor on individual units
the covenant are shiny as fuck though
But most people think I have shit opinions.
do people play games on those?
it hits next week with the PS3 one
you build supply buildings and can destroy them as needed
the bases are stationary, but they are modular
Well. Console.
it's not that different
you get anal retentive on unit production and your money, and spam shit

Yep.
Ok good, no surprise there then.
By the way: It's not.
Yeah but
Halo
LETS GO SPAR TANS
God damn it.

Stop it
but essentially the same goddamn thing
do you guys like being obtuse
I guess.
I don't really know that much about "good" RTS games.
i take it you've been playing with meta a lot
we can't all be acutey like you
