Halo Wars - 40K Terra

This is to be a Real Time Strategy game for the 360........but M$ can't be dumb enough not to port it to computer, it should be a good game.

Four20edLogan · 01-24-2008

I'm looking forward to it, but it's gonna be a while til it's out. I remember seeing the teaser for it around a year ago.

Wakim · 01-24-2008

10$ say it`ll be "optimised for vista" if it`s ported to the PC

Ion Raptor · 01-24-2008

$20 says your probably right.....

Wakim · 01-24-2008

Why does this scene look SO familiar?

masterofweirdness · 01-24-2008

Because everyone likes Warhammer 40,000... which copied Starcraft.

Oh... and I bet my computer that it'll be optimised for vista... if its ported... which I've heard it won't be...

of course... if I'm wrong... no one gets my computer...

Wakim · 01-24-2008

actually if you zoom it to its natural size it looks like the batle between the empire and the rebels on that ice planet.

PS Note the giant cammelish walkers in the background

ah...

Anyways... everyone copies everyone who's already copied everyone else, so why bother being original? lol.

If you hadn't added those smilies I'd be beating you round the head right now for lying

Ides · 01-24-2008

It never ceases to amaze me that after every Warhammer v starcraft argument there's been on this forum you still haven't developed a sense of humour about that reference. You know better. That's all that matters.

Torquemada Coteaz · 01-24-2008

Aye. but we all know that what Baron meant to say was taht if he were SERIOUS and hadn't added the smiles Baron'd be beating him round the head right then.

Halo Wars is going to be.... quasiepic btw.

Lord Commander Erus · 01-24-2008

I'll be getting it just because I like the Halo series and have been looking for a good RTS game for a while.

*trundles off to go beat DoW upside the head.*

Baron Spikey · 01-24-2008

hmmm DOW, what a good idea Erus- how about we have a match in a couple of days time (sorry for that little hijack)

thats why i added the smileys... because whoever says that need to check his dates... 1987... the creation of 40k... 1998 (11 years later) the creation of starcraft...

40k couldn't have copied blizzard... its not possible... rofl

Now starship troopers and alien...

Baron Spikey · 01-24-2008

AHHHH!!!! *vein in forehead pulses once and then erupts*

Wakim · 01-24-2008

I`ll wait for the PC version

I`m not expecting it to amaze me too much tough... SC2 will be enough to satisfy my fake flavor needs

Rellik · 01-24-2008

looks pretty intresting

If you have such an all consuming need to humiliate me again and again, sure.

Torquemada Coteaz · 01-24-2008

PC version AFAIK is not an anticipated release.
Not in the conventional sense anyway.
It's gonna be like the other halo games and get ported years later.

Can`t say i really care

Any idea on how the game will work? warcraft-ish?

Torquemada Coteaz · 01-24-2008

Well it's an RTS, not much variation can be on that.
As far as I know there is base building.
Unit wise it's first contact, meaning Mk II / III / IV armour for Spartans. (which actually doesn't make sense considering fluff-wise they only used Mk I and Mk IV)

I believe it's squad-based infantry and singular-vehicle much like DoW. I could be wrong.

Other than that, the usual plethora of units, unit upgrades, research options, tech trees, etc.

And obviously Humans vs Covenant.

Wakim · 01-24-2008

Dude, Halo`s continuity makes less sense than SC`s.

I played the game and quited after after half an hour because the story got in the way

Plus, it`s under Microsoft, we all know they`re the oposite side of nitpickity

They`ll never ask anyone to make a perfect product for them :P

Templar Mikeel · 01-24-2008

Good thing is, it's being designed specifically for the XBox 360, so no need to worry about awkward controls.

Wakim · 01-24-2008

LOL

*points at generic console game with awkward controls*

It`s all about the developer and the time and money the publisher gives them :P

themandalorian · 01-24-2008

Ughhh, never been a good RTS on a console in my opinion. Btw I think my favorite universe's are Star wars, Tiberian, and now becoming WH40k.
