NinjaKido said: @JaggedSac It's easy to call some one a troll ... prooving it is a whole different situation. I give credit where it's due and Ensemble is the greatest RTS developer ever , I play age of conquerors at least twice a week . I have no dought that Halo Wars would have been a good game had it been catered to a keyboard & mouse set up. It's pretty clear that the game has to be simplified in order to suit the needs of the gamepad set up , this would be true of any console not just the 360 . I'm not trying to claim any sort of objectivity , I'm not going to play Halo Wars because I don't have a 360 but don't confuse criticism with trolling.

 

 So you are in the wrong thread??

How do you even get that from his impression??

I was so depressed when I played the RA3 demo and read the reviews that I decided not to buy it.

It is the first C&C I won't get (very flashy but no real gaming content ... it is just a big skirmish to me...).

 

I put great hope in Halo Wars !!! Can't wait for the 5th !

Because C&C:RA actually has depth. Plus the comedy aspect of how the story is told.

Yep, this game is going to be a streamlined RTS. It could probably be called an 'arcade' RTS. Base building is extremely streamlined. You can have multiple bases, but only in predefined spots that you find on the map. Is this a bad thing? For some, yes. There are still reseach trees, a variety of turrets, cover emplacements on the map, etc, to provide for varied strategies and varied experiences. It will be less about building your infrastructure and more about planning you attacks. If you love to micromanage your RTSs, this game is not for you. If you love the army building aspect of RTS games, you will probably enjoy yourself.

@jaggedsac

Isn't that where RTS even on the computer is heading anyway? Look at game like company of heroes, dawn of war (especially the dawn of war 2) and world in conflict , they all forego base building and pretty much streamline the RTS.

@ssj12
and LOL at C&C:RA has depth. Do you ever get tired of trolling?

Well that sounds awesome.  Real RTS's don't have that base building crap.  So anything that minimizes that pointless activity is appreciated.

What?

WarCraft, StRCraft, Command and Conquer, Sins of a Solar Empire, etc arent real RTSs? Last time I checked they are the big names of the RTS genre. And guess what, they have base building.
