Forums - Microsoft - Halo Wars Co-op

Apparently Halo Wars has an cooperative campaign for 2 people online.  Sounds good.

 Sweet. 

 

And let me go ahead and say it for everybody, rts games are better on pc.

They most definitely are better on the pc, just like FPS is. BUT fps games sell really well on consoles so it would be in microsofts best interest to create a larger console RTS market, since they get all the pc ports anyway.



Well considering both PC and 360 are basically Microsoft platforms(especially from a development standpoint), if you make a game for one, you might as well make it for the other, makes the most fiscal sense.




Well that was exactly my point and this is where halo wars come into the picture. console RTS's don't sell very well, if halo wars can increase the demand for RTS games on the 360 then they essentially gain far more sales without any extra development investment as RTS games are already being ported to the platform.

Yep, they have to really work hard with the controls though. I wonder how good the voice command stuff with End-War is?

I haven't seen anything about this game for a while, is it still supposed to come out this fall?

I hope Microsoft shows this off at E3 with an X-mote IR demo. That would be enough to make it a day 1 purchase for me.



As much as people hate the idea of the xmote. It really could be useful for the RTS genre. It still wont come close to mouse and keyboard control but it'll be a large step up from the analogue controller.
