Default Halo Wars

Anyone got it?

Got talked into buying it by Jon [SIK RX3] and have been glad ever since.
The normal game missions are pretty easy (except trying to get gold, all the skulls and the rest of the stuff to get achievements) but online is where its at.
Put it this way, Jon and I were competing against each other on 1 map for over 50mins and still werent even close to destroying each other so if your after a 10min game..GTFO.

Worth a look if your into the good old C&C games.

Id download the demo 1st just incase.
But I didnt actually download demo or watch any vids, just went off Jons advice. After how short the normal game is, id presume they would HAVE to have some DLC for it some time soon (new maps / weapons / machines etc) but until then it should be fun for a while.

3v3 is where its at

its command and conquer haloised, good game. Ive spent a fair few hours playing it and think they have brought it from a computer based game as most real time strategies to console well.

Too true... i used to play C&C years ago and could only really get around the 'mouse' style of play for RTS games, but they have managed to set it up using the xbox controller really well IMHO.

Ive never really played any of the Halo games but found the story pretty cool. Might look into getting some of the halo games now.

Yeah up for a xboxlive match for sure. Yep build bases, upgrade, upgrade tech, upgrade soldiers and vehicles, turrets, use spartans etc to take over enemy vehicles etc etc.

Definately needs a DLC for some new stuff tho. Kinda feel after a few matches that its kinda repetative, but lucky for live and the 3v3.
