What did you guys think of Halo Wars?
I personally love it, still play it to this day. I'm hoping for a sequel, but I'm afraid that might not come to fruition.
How about you guys?

I loved it. Over 200 hours on it. Eve playing 3v3 with friends on a private match was great IMO
-
Great for what it was, average for what it could've been.
-
Love it, still one of my most played games. Haven't played much of anything lately due to school though, really wish that Microsoft would commission a second game.
-
Better than Halo 4 and Reach.

Loved it, still play now and again.

Loved it. Unfortunately I'm not too good at it. I managed to beat it on Normal, but I can never get far on Legendary. :'( We had a Carnage for it last Sept./Oct. that was a pretty big success.

1 ReplyEdited by Blacknight159: 3/16/2013 10:38:10 PMIMO, the game isn't that great. First off It's a console RTS and with 99.9% of RTS's being on the PC, one can't help but notice the shortcomings of it. Halo Wars has an annoyingly slow, imprecise camera due to console controls, it has also has less controls to begin with. There's no "selection box" like on PC RTS's and instead we get the "all units" and "local units" thing which is just plain inferior to what's on the PC. Also some characters are just downright infuriatingly poor to play with and combined with the crap controls, it makes for a frustrating experience. Admittedly, I think that Ensemble did a decent job with the enormous limitations that they had to deal with. However to this day I desperately wish for a PC port of the game.

It was great at first, and it's still fun to play every once and a while, but only with friends.
-
I have over 500 hours on it...
-
I still play it occasionally with friends, and I love every second of it.
-
I enjoyed it. Would have been better of construction wasn't so limiting.
-
I suck at RTS games, and it isn't very complex, but I still enjoyed it. It was a console RTS done very well. I have found myself playing it a lot recently.

1 ReplyEdited by OmegaCircuit: 3/16/2013 10:02:34 PMWell, I'm not very good at RTS games, though I still thought the game was quite fun. Not the best Halo game, but far, in my mind, from the worst. Campaign was enjoyable, but not really fun to replay. Story is one of the least interesting in the series, though still better than Reach. Soundtrack is forgettable. I ultimately decided to sell it, but I did re-purchase ODST, so maybe I'll do the same for Wars.

Edited by Kody: 3/16/2013 9:54:10 PMDue to it being developed by Ensemble, I was expecting something closer to the likes of Age of Empires, thus I was horribly disappointed. In the end it was enjoyable, but I wanted a more full RTS experience. It seemed more like a super-third person game than a legitimate RTS. You couldn't really "build your empire."
-
Not very diverse or anything. Every game is always the same thing where everybody is just spamming one unit. It's also very unbalanced in my opinion. It always leans toward the UNSC's favor with all those super units and bonuses and crap. I hate 3v3's where those stupid kids all play as Cutter and spam ODST's
-
It's pretty decent. I'd give it a 7.5 / 10. It's not exactly great or mind-blowing, but for an RTS on a console, it is definitely enjoyable.
-
We need a sequel that's for sure. We need to know what the canonical status of the Spirit of Fire's crew are. Are they alive, are they dead? Hopefully when the Reclaimer trilogy is over 343i will actually start listening to what Halo games we want.
-
Great game. I absolutely love that game. Still have it and play it from time to time. It would be a great day if a sequel were confirmed.

Edited by Sesto: 3/16/2013 9:34:16 PMI didn't really like it that much at first. I ended up selling it. However, I ended up buying it again. This time I played with friends. It was alot more fun, and I ended up playing it every day. Ended up becoming a General in it, not because I really tried for it, just because I played it alot. I still play it often, though my friends aren't very good at it so I tend to get angry easily. Still, there are some intense games. Fighting those long matches that seem to be an endless back and forth, only for your team to end up as the victors... really good feeling. It's a horribly balanced game, though. Vampires are a billion times better than Hawks (like they should be), yet something like Jackals don't do very well against ODSTs (which they should). Vehicle bay for covenant is pretty much worthless unless you are planning to do a rush of some kind. Scarab is absolutely useless against any skilled player. Still fun, though. I love playing as the Prophet. When fighting against a less-skilled team, I can pretty much take an entire 3 player team out with my Prophet alone.

I love and still play it, and also hoping for a sequel. Add me if you want to play sometime - Camnator

It was fun, but I'm not very good at it.

it was great for the xbox but it would be meh on pc
-
I have never played it. That's what I think of RTS games in general.
