That's too bad, human players will be a challenge anyways.

I got the demo and breezed through it... dont intend on buying the full game but if this is true, it strenghtens my decision not to bother

yes, campaign is too short and too easy

and since the game is not well balanced, even the online experience will be average.

(all according to gamekult.com french site)

go buy DoW2 or Empire TW

this is the RTS u need !!!

isnt that like every rts?

 

well for every ensemble made RTS that has been the case , but the real challenge has always come from Human players anyway . No one should really be put off by this unless they plan to play offline the vast majority of the time.

I played on normal and died 3 times...I am on level 14 now. in any case easy or not...the game is really fun.

Hello, I was a developer on the Halo Wars AI :)

Replay vs the AI in skirmish mode is very good.

-Legendary is much harder than Heroic, and Automatic difficulty can go far far beyond legendary difficulty.

In 2v2 and 3v3 games you can coordinate tactics with your AI Ally by sending it flares (click left stick).  This can can make it attack, retreat, defend, scout, set a rally point for you ally, have them send you resources etc..    Not many people know about this feature yet but it really add alot to replay value IMO.

in case you missed the last page, here is info about how the AI is NOT too easy...

Sounds like Auto difficulty is the way to go for those seeking a challenge offline.

The more I read about this Auto difficulty setting the more I wish it was offered in the standard game.

Xexyl, was this ever considered? Or maybe as some have suggested the Campaign was to short to make this accurate.

Skulls for the win? I didn't really look at all the skulls that can be found (only found one so far) but should up the difficulty for those who think its easy.

Have you played it?  Because I have.  And if it is balance you seek, check out the HaloWars.com stats about online play.  The Covenant and Human civs both win absolutely equal amounts.
