Halo wars demo on the 360

tvalentine · February 2009

not sure if anybody noticed it, but they put the demo of halo wars up for download on xbox live, i'm downloading it now so i cannot comment on the game itself yet, but i would like to hear what other people have expirienced so far in the game.

alright well i downloaded it and played the whole demo and it sucked. hard. controls werent too bad, but they were lacking, there was no attack and move button so you have your tanks and vehicles in the back who dont shoot unless you click every unit after the next one dies. Base building is what you would expect from a console strategy game, i didnt mind this part of the game and i think they did pretty well .... for a console RTS ...... Graphics were good except for the units and combat. The units and combat looked dated and felt like it was also lacking. This feels like they spent more time on making good cut scenes rather then good gameplay. The combat felt dumb, i didnt see any real strategy use between units. You could spam 10 scorpions and you could go through the demo just as fine as if you mixed and matched different units. I'm going to guess this is going to be a flop.

Damn, I was looking forward to it. I'll still try it I guess.

I downloaded it, but I didn't play it yet. I red what you commented on, I'll throw down a review on the demo soon.

The controls are good but the game is way to simple for me.
