No PC release. And trust me, I also have previously ruled out RTS on console, much to the chagrin of some of my Live friends because C&C3 had a pretty good control scheme, but Halo Wars is going to change that.

Its going to have radial control (holding a button to open a sphere to select build/commands) and it will use the D-Pad to go to the important areas during the game. Also, the game will have much less focus on micro-management as the base/building is simple yet deep, and more on set piece combat.

 

Nice clip. But the controls will never be good enough - granted, C&C wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, but it was still nowhere near good enough. And the fact that you just said it will make use of the 360 D-pad has put me off even more.

After finishing C&C3 on the 360 I would say this. I will take the harder controls but the ability to play lazing on my couch instead of having to sit at a desk.
