On the PC due out this year for the RTS genre. We have Diablo 3 and Star Craft 2. Both those games will be better than Halo Wars.

Halo Wars will be controlled with the 360 analogue controller. That should be interesting. We know how well console RTS games have done in the past. I hope there is a mouse and keyboard control option or a motion control similar to the Wii.

Halo Wars looks good on the surface. What is the game play and control in the game like?

^^Well, I trust IGN when they say the controls are great. You are rehashing the same old stuff controls argument over and over again. I am also not sure why you mentioned Diablo 3. It is completely and utterly different.  And read the article to answer your question.

It's coming to the PC also.

No it isn't.

Awesome. Glad it has a good feel so far.

Wow.  That's crazy.  I could have sworn it was announced for 360 and PC. 

Well that's stupid, an RTS solely on a console.  I know they're trying to make it work on controllers, but RTS were made for mouse controls.

Weird.

DMeisterJ -

Not really. If you knew the history of Real Time Strategy games, you'd know that in the very early years, a few were made for consoles exclusively, and Herzog Zwei had one of the best controls for an RTS, ever.

If you build an RTS for a console, from the ground up, you can do a very good job of it. How many people do you hear that are Civilization fans, that hate Civilization: Revolution on the X360/PS3? Very few, if any. Everyone loves it. Why? It was built for consoles, and that makes the difference. You can't easily take an RTS, and port it to consoles, it has to be built with consoles in mind. When you do that, you can make sure everything looks, and plays great.

nie,im looking foward to this game

This is really good stuff! The eventual PC version will probably be better, but it's going to be nice to launch a Spartan attack group!

Why do people also forget that Ensemble is one of the premiere RTS developers and they have some of the best selling examples in the genre. Age of Empires - 1/2 especially are legendary for what they achieved.
