some people just don't like this game, and some do (like me). i used to think a halo rts was bullshit but i got the demo and its actually really good. this review doesn't know what hes talking about, hes bad
im sorry but this game looks like pure dire shite its just like bfme (battle for middle earth) because u hve to build from the fortress and theres only like six spots available when i first heard of this i was excited but aftr sein a few reviews i decided to save my money nd go to bfme 2 where u actually gt to build werever u wnt so no it about 6 years behind nd the graphics r shit
Hmm...this is a pretty fair review overall for me at least, for their reviews in the past have been pretty spot-on.
On the other hand, the fact that it is being compared to PC RTS's does skew it to some degree.
It was obvious long ago that it wouldn't measure up to PC RTS's, and the many criticisms here do make sense. Since its meant to be highly accessible, then it does its best.
They said it was fun but lacked depth, but that's often what happens with things like this.
all the reviews on halo wars are dumb,of course everyone wanted to play as the flood but when they say its only 2 races they are quite wrong about that because the 2 races has 3 different leaders that has different tactics for example you cant do an proper marine rush with anyone except cutter and the thing with covenant campaign is ridicolous,can you play as the brute in halo 3?no,can you play as the flood?no,but if you could the story wouldnt be so good,the controls r as good as they can get
gamespot sucks....they have given bad reviews to many great games and given good reviews for the biggest shit games like madagascar 2 to example....all idiots
Oh, Ensemble studios may have closed down, but they're devs have stated several times that they will add DLC content, that will add much needed depth. Flood and Covie campaigns may be included if people nag for it, and Flood may become playable (maybe even forerunner objects).
If it weren't for DLC, I wouldn't get this game, but there will be DLC. More campaign missions, skulls, units, buildings, features, upgrades and what not, this may be the icon of all future console RTS'S.
This reviewer is an idiot. The A.I are too easy? Did this guy play the game on legendary difficulty? What about the skulls that give A.I's 50% more health, and the extra veteracy skull that makes all A.I units better all around. Hard enuf?
This guy said its 1v1, 2v2, and 2v2v2. What a moron. It's 3v3, not 2v2v2.
You can set waypoints for units. Just press X. This guy is pretty dumb.
Metacritic is more reliable, the average for the game is currently 8.3 with all the reviews. Looking forward 2 it.
Gamespot can suck my fucking nutz such a BULLSHIT review and im not even a fanboy but this game is the fucking SHIT and they treat it like garbage even tho alot of time was put into making it. Fuck gamespot im serious fuck these fucking bitches IGN is much better FUCK GAMESPOT.
i seriously want to punch that fat ass in the face. this is an unaccurate and unfair review for ensemble and halo wars im never trusting gamespot's reviews, and sticking to ign. he pretty much talked about all the negative points in the game, and none of the positive. VIEWERS GO SEE IGN'S REVIEW AND FUCK THIS FAT ASS FOR HIS HORRIBLE REVIEW if this is the only review that a person see's, then they probobly wont get the game and enjoy it
Ok, for the halo knob slobers out there I'll explain this review.
The Bad:
Short missions, Short campagn, Only 1 playable race in singe player, only 2 races in multiplayer, you CAN NOT use the Flud at all!, no custom grouping of units, 2 multyplayer mods. limited base buildings, low unit count, no depth
the good:
Pretty Graphics, its a Halo game (overrated), simple controls
the only game that deserves it? wow, howbout Final Fantasy? MetalGear? Zelda? Starcraft? God of War? Socom? Soul caliber? oh i get it, you just like games for dumb jocks right? Gears, Halo.
nothing too deep right?
lol, DeepVoiceMan, what a name, more like DeepThroatMan
Final Fantasy is retarded Japanese gayness with crying bitches left and right. and r u realy going to bring up Soul caliber, a 2d fighting game with absolutely no story wse. Socom is bland, (and did u see what reviews the last one got), starcraft is for fags with no life because you have to dedicate alot of time, and Metal Gear is more Japanese gayness. n u would bring up zelda, a game from 10 years ago and God of War doesnt have multiplayer. btw gears sucks. yeah, go suck it
I really enjoyed the demo, and do look forward to the game. But this will probably not be what heavy RTS veterans would really get into. It is quite simple : /
wow wat fuckin fags they've ruined the game for me already by revealing those awesome scenes..and a 6.5 wtf is up with that i have the demo this game is awesome
halo wars is the greatest rts ever

i think theyre comparing it to starcraft, which is kinda unfair.
starcraft is one of those almighty rts games. it blows this game out of the water.
its pretty good for an rts on a console though.
