Hello Everyone, lets have a discussion. Take a seat.

With the recent release of Halo Wars, let's make a offical thread to discuss all things Halo Wars.

This is a thread for those who have either.

• Purchased Halo War
• Plan to purchase Halo Wars in the near future.

This is not a thread to discuss the possibility of Halo Wars being Ported to the PC or any other system for that matter. Let's keep this entire thread about Halo Wars and how good or bad you think it is.

Anyway, my thoughts on Halo Wars? I'm actually really blown away by the full product. I bought the demo and played it half to death, playing the first two campaign missions and beating them repeatedly. Also playing 1 v 1 on heroic AIs in skirmish, however the full game is absolutely amazing. I find the control to be absolutely amazing, plus its really neat to hear what the individual soldiers say during combat, my personal favorites.

"Alright, the best drivers out there are spartans!"
"Noob!"
"That elite is Raging!"

As for strategy, I've been deploying a very rapid warthog rush. So far out of like 10 games, I've been beaten once using this. Had alot of help in 2 v 2. Ask 1337 gamer really. Most players seem to be alot slower at the controls in multiplayer, or they don't cordinate well. I'm hoping that problem gets solved as the game's life continues forth. Definately a great game, you should pick it up if you havn't and are a RTS fan.

My name is makingmusic476, and I approve this message.

I think it's funny that we're supposed to approve official threads, but nobody ever mentions who approved the thread, and nobody ever bothers asking either. It all seems kind've pointless to me. xD

damn i wanted the first post. :( well yeah this game is AWESOME. It is very well balanced between both factions and simple enough to use on a console yet advanced enough to hold your interest and allow you to try different strategies. Oh and Nightstriker good game tonite :)

I want this game. Ensemble Studios

its definatly worth it. Pick it up ASAP

One thing I've noticed with our games is how versatile you can be with your strategys. Yes, I start off with a warthog rush. But if that fails, I generally swap to another tactic if time allots it. That one match he had agaist those two covenants who used loctus didn't allow for that. But had they failed to destroy your base, I would have swapped to hawks or something that could take them out a bit faster.

Ontop of that, using forerunner shields on loctus's? Genius move, really. Something I'll have to adapt to use on a later date.

completly agree. Thise sentinal shields could be very handy cover for locusts should the enemies ever survive our devastating rushes. ;)

I've noticed quite a bit of rush tactics have been occurring lately. Often with covenant as their leaders are quite durable in battle and can constantly summon more units into the fray, anyone got any ideas to counter this? Turrets doesn't seem to work well, as most leaders can annihilate a turret in mere moments.
