I hope it comes to pc, not going to pay for playing online just because of one game.

Looks very nice, but paying for online gaming is not for me.

Looks good, but I don't think I will get it.

Just what would an RTS look/play like with an "xmote"? The ability to use a wireless pointing/gesturing device to control the action might be interesting if implemented well.



I hate trolls.

Systems I currently own:  360, PS3, Wii, DS Lite (2)
Systems I've owned: PS2, PS1, Dreamcast, Saturn, 3DO, Genesis, Gamecube, N64, SNES, NES, GBA, GB, C64, Amiga, Atari 2600 and 5200, Sega Game Gear, Vectrex, Intellivision, Pong.  Yes, Pong.

don't foget we'll have xmote..SOON! So HW with xmote = HUGE GAME

Let's hope MS doesn't saddle this game with dual analog controls. Ensemble and Halo deserve better than that. I would hate to see a great RTS (which Ensemble is surely putting together) be ruined by a shit control scheme.

Is this the first RTS built for a console ground up? I'm pretty sure all the others on the 360 have been PC ports, but not sure of other consoles.

Star Craft 64 for the N64 rings a bell people. lol. That game failed miserably. Who says a console RTS will not fail again? 1 million sales of Halo Wars tops. RTS games are not for casuals. Hardcore gamers are PC gamers who play RTS and MMORPGs.

Console hardcore gaming was over with XBox V's PS2 battle of last generation. These days all of the games have been watered down in difficulty to draw more casuals to gaming: Halo 3, GTA 4, MGS 4, DMC 4 and Ninja Gaiden Sigma and NG2,etc. All of those games a lot easier than last generation.

 

God you talk out of your Ass.

 

 That gif is full of win.

I'm not sure about that, but regardless, it looks great. Especially for a RTS on a console. Hope the game ends up looking that good. (If it does, I might have to seriously look into getting a 360... I love RTS games)

 



Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it

Agree.

I hope it isn't necessary to familiarize myself with the Halo games to fully understand this games story.
