Ensemble studios promises that Halo Wars will be the first console RTS with working controls and no confusion, that you could control an army with your 360 controller as easy as with a mouse and keyboard...well, let's hope so.

I hope there is a lengthy single player campaign. Maybe 2 entirely different campaigns, where one you play as UNSC fighting Covenant, and vice-versa.

Although this game predates the first Halo, I'd still like to see things like the Hornet, Laser weapons, Phantom, and maybe even the Elephant?

I'd like to see a map editor, where you could build your own terrains, add objects and units, and maybe even edit existing units properties...make a grunt really powerful...

I'd like to play against opponents, both human and A.I., controlled in some sort of multiplayer.

I hope it is fun.

I just hope they get this out on PC because that'll be the only thing I play RTS on.

Dude it would be amazing to build an ARMY of Spartans and one would be considered MASTER CHIEF!!

It's the only real system TO play RTS on, it gets way to confusing on a 360.

You guys probably havent read much about it. It's an RTS intended for console. It may or may not be on PC later but the idea is to bring a typical PC RTS to Xbox 360 and have it work with little or no confusion.

There's lots of people saying Halo Wars should be an FPS or a PC RTS. To them I say "Ensemble knows what they are doing."

I am really looking forward to this game.

But no RTS lasts forever..when my friends have a LAN party they play Age of Empires but thats a game that supports MP for PC and therefor will last. Halo Wars might be forgotten like BFME II in time..i hate when it happens.

BFME:II wasn't very good.

It was ok, i liked it.

Stay on topic please.

Some people have thought about playing as flood in Halo Wars. Playing as them would be weird and have to be irrelevent to the story.

If the flood were playable, what kind of buildings and units and vehicles would they have? It would be so weird.

The only reason this game is being hyped is because of the word commonly known as "Halo". I'm not excited at all for this game.

If Ensemble Studios gets this right, it could revolutionize a good working console RTS.

__________________

If you played as the Flood you wouldn't make buildings... you'd have to take over buildings. That's the only way it would make sense.
I'd like to see the Spartans as a very exclusive unit but when you unleash a squad of them... they just PWN!!!

I hope this game comes out soon. I just love the idea of Halo elements in RTS. Commanding multiple warthogs and scorpions while protecting your base. And Covenant should be fun to play as, too.
