I guess they assume the average halo player has never touched anything that's not an FPS.

I have to admit. This looks amazing.

I'm still very, very sad that Ensemble will be over after this. One of my favorite RTS devs next to Relic.

Well I'm still looking forward to trying this game. I'm a big rts and console fan, so i'll see how this plays out.

Though I don't think it can fully replace the anticipation I had for the HaloGen mod for C&C Generals : (

Kinda funny how the describe an RTS game for 4 minutes and then act like this game is the first RTS in the world or something. I've played a lot of RTS games and this one looks pretty bad, the character movements are just horrible.

Oh god my eyes hurt. You seen those animations, effects and terrain graphics? How the units crowd like in every fight? haha..
What a simple and rubbish game.

Put the name Halo on it and hope for good selling?

It's a joke they are only releasing it for Xbox.
On the other hand, they surely fear the competion of Dawn of War2 and Starcraft2. :D

They can smell they are too shit to develop a better game and make it a Xbox monopole.

RTS on consoles. I have an inherent wariness of these things. Its like putting a bike on an ice rink and introducing it as a new winter sport.
