Halo Wars: first in-game media; demo planned

During last week's E3, IGN and Joystiq were fortunate enough to attend a demo presentation of the game hosted by none other than Ensemble Studios, the devs behind the Age of Empires franchise.

But without a mouse it will suck. Just like C&C3.

Skizelli6127d ago (Edited 6127d ago )

No, it won't suck. You'll just suck. :D

If we're lucky, perhaps it'll see a PC release in the future.

P4KY B6127d ago (Edited 6127d ago )

Admit it to yourself. This game would be awesome with a mouse and not quite as good without one.
I was very excited about C&C3 on the 360 it was one of the reasons i got an xbox. But then i played the demo and got a headache from the fixed reticle.
Playing C&C3 on the 360 seems like hard work compared to the PC version. And I expect Halo wars to be the same.

I hope i'm wrong.

Skizelli6127d ago (Edited 6127d ago )

Any diehard RTS fan would agree that a keyboard and mouse is better than a gamepad, just as the same applies to most FPS. I personally had no trouble with C&C3 on 360. It actually gave me hope for Halo Wars. If I'm recalling correctly, they spent 6 months on the control alone (Halo Wars, that is). The you sucking bit was only a friendly gesture, my point being that just because someone can't get the hang of something doesn't mean it sucks.

You know Halo was originally going to be an RTS, right?

im used to using a mouse too. but i'd give it a try. i used to play redalert on ps back in the day.

but anyways, it looks fun. can't wait for the demo

tplarkin76127d ago

Wow. I'm not an RTS player, but that looked amazing. Halo Wars just may attract new players to the RTS genre.

mighty_douche6127d ago

microsoft should spend their time better developing their games than wasting time working on a demo! oh and for you JIB get your self a ps3, adventually i can see most of thier games supporting keyboard and mouse! i was amazed when i plugged my G7 doungle into my ps3 and the mouse fuctioned straight away, even my pc required an instal disc!!

Halo Wars is still widely considered one of the best and most accessible RTS games around, and that formula could work with other Microsoft IPs.

I think Crackdown would fit in a more turn-based tactics system via Xcom then a RTS type game play. Being able to customize multiple agents, deploying that group in an crime infested urban zone, going against other super powered enemy and fodder type thugs. The potential for that is huge if they won't do another successful, ground breaking, GOTY open world outing like Crackdown 3....

P_Bomb410d ago

I could see that. I feel like State of Decay could spin-off into something strategic as well.

giovonni409d ago

Actually that would be kind of fly if they made it a turn base RTS.

lellkay46d ago

Crackdown tactics would be legit!!

Halo CE over Halo Infinite anyday

Not to mention the impact it had at the time

Flawlessmic719d ago

Halo 3 at the top is correct the only thing id change is swap infinite and halo ce around.

AuraAbjure719d ago

Halo 4 best campaign and multiplayer. Halo 3 best story.

ChubbyBlade718d ago

Are you trying to give people cancer?

AuraAbjure717d ago (Edited 717d ago )

Halo 4 has the hottest Cortana too which explains why the MC is the hardest in that campaign and why H4's multiplayer is the illest. Chief ain't afraid to take on teleporting enemies that can one hit melee kill.

I feel like I see these articles often. Either way, just going by main titles as a whole package not just on MP I’d say;
Best 2,3,1,4,5 worst.
Story only;
Best 1,2,3,4,5 worst.
MP only
Best 2,3,5,1,4 worst.

Popsicle995d ago (Edited 995d ago )

Great list Deathdeliverer! The only place we differ is that I would put Halo 3 MP over Halo 2 MP, but gaming preferences are subjective and there are really no right or wrong answers. We match exactly on everything else. And yes, these list are made all the time, but they still get me to click on them. Lol!

Deathdeliverer995d ago

I was really torn between the two so I’ll call it a toss up. They are head and shoulders above the other Halo Mps. It’s Halo 2/3 (in any order) then a pause, then the rest.
