So, I just pre-ordered Halo Wars...

Post by xlRainlx »

and I am happy as can be. The game looks great. I am currently playing Endwar and I am enjoying it so I assume Halo Wars will let me continue a great RTS experience. I also happened to have pre-ordered the Limited Edition version from Wal Mart.com so I will not only be receiving the Mythic Map pack and the Honor Guard Wraith but I will also be getting the Flame skinned Warthog. Downside is that I gotta wait about 8 days after it comes out to get my copy. Downside of pre-ordering from wal mart.com. So, who else has ordered it and who wants to get it?

I'm still undecided at this point. I LOVE Halo and I LOVE RTS games, so obviously this has my interest... I just can't believe they could ever make a good RTS using a gamepad as a controller. This is 90% of why I will wait for the demo!

im really undecided about this game, it does look "ok" i guess, but as mx said RTS on gamepad, i don't know how this will pan out. I didn't really like End War.

I will wait for the demo too.

Halo Wars...

It's a joke. Don't get me wrong, It looks nice, but we had to wait too long for it. 3 years!? Srsly? No... It's not worth it. It was predicted to come out in Nov of 08, and here we are, near Feb of 09...

Holy crap...

Uhh...hate to burst your bubble, but usually a longer development cycle = a better game, not a worse one.

:(

You made me feel stupid.

jk, But I feel like it's already made and E-Studio is trying to piss us off. Besides, a long development cycle makes a better game... only when bungie makes it. Bungie ain't involved. So... ergo, bad game.

I'm right ur wrong 8)

Yea but Ensemble has been known to make some pretty good RTS games. I think the game looks fun so far in the gameplay videos.

Yeah, any RTS made by Ensable will be good. Also, you get 6 special cards that can turn the tide of battle. Some examples Ive read of the ones that come with the game are calling in a MAC cannon to take out a Scarab and stuff like that. The LCE comes with 6 extra ones :shock:

Why would they be trying to piss us off? and what makes you think it will be bad other than Bungie didn't make it...I think it's gunna be a great game but I wont bother with the pre-order. Games never sell out now a days anyways

I've never pre-ordered a game. No exceptions for this. I want it, but I probably won't get it until my birthday in July. :(

Reviewers already are getting this game, in which case... If you have a reviewer friend I suggest you piggyback him/her(rarely) if you want to play it early.

So did i, but if you check the official HALO WARS site; on the second paragraph of the main page, it states:
'...In addition, the recently announced Xbox LIVE public demo for “Halo Wars” will be available beginning on Feb. 5 at 2 a.m. PST in Xbox LIVE enabled regions worldwide...'

Isn't it supposed to come with 3 mythic maps? Wouldn't that mean the mythic map pack comes out before HW does??? :shock:

No, with the Halo Wars LCE you get the Mythic Mappack (Part 1 of 2) 3-4 weeks earlier than marketplace buyers.
