    halo wars does exactly what it sets out to do imo

    its not one for the rts hardcore or anything like it, and nor does it ever claim to be

    what it does is offer the casual rts player an enjoyable game

    hardcore rts games have very little place on consoles

    No its a very well develeoped well marketed indepth cash in franchise!

    Casual rts? but that defeats the purpose of 'real' - 'time' - 'strategy' if i wanted casual ild pick up Duck Hunt and blast away at that to kill time.


    If they wanted to be serious why didnt they take time developing it further and getting it on pc ... give it 4months and it'll be on pc.

    i dont think casual rts defeats anything. if you want an in depth rts, halo wars isnt for you, but everyone knew that already

    yes its probably a cash in on the franchise, but that doesnt make it any less enjoyable for people who wouldnt be massive rts players (like me).

    "casual" isnt always a dirty word. it can sometimes provide one of 2 things for players

    a) a gateway into a genre they mightnt necessarily been interested in looking into

    b) a game for people who just dont have the time any more to spend hours and hours on a fully featured game

    i used to like rts games, but then i used to have more than a few hours a week spare to play games recreationally. halo wars offers me something i can just sit down and jump straight into for 40 minutes to an hour, and you know what? its bloody great at what it does

    nobody is going to approach the game expecting an in depth title, so i dont think that has to be factored in
