Jees... Halo wars looks very bad for a strategy game. Graphics look nice but its slow, very slow. Consoles just dont do these games.
Hopefully the game will be great, but anyone worth their salt will buy this for the pc if its coming out or give it a wide berth. i expect it to reach 1- 1.5 mill lifetime slowly. Halo name will be what sells it. Is there a PC version scheduled anyone?

I have only found one quality demo (about 10 minutes long on GT) and the game isn't that slow. It's definitely slower than a PC RTS game but you could tell that the guy was intentionally playing slow to show off the different features in the game.

With some of the hot button abilities to move across the map quickly and the "paintbrush" system to grab and drag units quickly, I think this will probably be the fasted console RTS game around, which bodes well for people like me who don't PC game anymore but usually can't stand console RTS games.

Still, this genre is made for the PC and it will be interesting to see how well the game is received.
