Really? I would've never guessed, especially from a game called HALO Wars. :P
Except the part where I hate the Flood because they were the worst parts of both Halo 2 & Halo 3.
If someone is playing co-op for H3 I will ask what mission they're playing before we start because I refuse to play those levels anymore.
If I wanted to play Smash TV, I'd play it Bungie.

Examples: end music, tanks looking/moving like toys, some sound effects not quite right.
Whatever, overall looks pretty average. I'm interested until I get a demo, the controls will make or brake it. From the looks of it, it's not the RTS solution on consoles everyone is hoping/waiting for, as keyboard/mouse still seems far, far superior to "A", "X", "shoulder button".
I guess a big problem is the way everyone expects a RTS to be, with the heavy focus on micromanagement, which isn't exactly the best idea with a gamepad. I'd assume if there will be a really successful RTS on consoles, it will be more in the vein of Supreme Commander, where macro is everything, and the AI takes control over 99% of your micro-needs.
