Ok, my take here:
1. Definitely seems action/arcade focused more than your usual RTS.
2. LOTS of polish and production value. Looks like it is on the right path for a console RTS, but interface questions I have may prevent Halo Wars from causing a cross over from PC to consoles for the RTS genre.
3. I have some interface questions I will ask here:

Please feel free to answer. Curious about the interface and how to do waypoints and so on.
