| love this game, but hate rushers in MP. I think a Flood race would only boost sales and game play, plus they will look amense! army of the little eggs lol. I recomend buying a HD tv if you dont have 1 just for the cut sceens, for the first couple of seconds i thought the starting was was real it was that good, why didnt they use them in Halo 3? |

| At #15 . I hear you, the story was well done unlike Halo 3. Cutscenes didn't bore you and they kept the story going. If Halo(3) would have done half of what Halo Wars did i would still be all over Halo 3 single player. Then again if you want a deep Sci-Fi story/universe Mass Effect is a excellent alternative. |

I was tempted to get this, but it was mainly for the Halo 3 maps, but Who wants to spend 45pounds on 3 maps? RTS's ain't my cup of tea anyway. It seems to be selling very nicely though. |

#9 - totally agree! Red alert3 is better than halo wars (not to knock halo wars btw. its still a good game) the only reason its sold so well is because its got halo on the box.
Hopefully though its popularity will mean more people picking up other rts's as well :D

The dlc should have:
Covenant campaign
More achievements
Flood race as a third option for fighting.
And those cutscenes were fricking amazing (especially the one near the end wit the spartans, sorry if people think ive spoiled it), if they had had those in halo 3 then there would be no comlaining about the storyline.
Bungie should team up with Ensemble/Robot for Halo 4(If there is one) ;) |

Hmm well it may be the fastest selling but it is definately not the best, all 3 command and conquers are better, civilisation revolution too. I bet this game rode it's name more than gameplay to high sales, and I'm guess more than a few people thought it was another FPS, or just want new maps.
And people who say RTS are only for PC then they should really play C&C on 360 because the controls are done brilliantly imo, Halo Wars is far too simplistic, it's my first RTS if you will, as Halo is my first FPS - lacks depth |

I sold this game the same day i bought it it was that bad. They should really stop making RTS games unless they start including voice recognition more often like End War or add keyboard + mouse support for them.
Kinda wish I kept the Mythic Map code though but oh well :( |

It is a great game and I hope they come out with more 3v3 maps. |

One of the most epic games out there. I sure hope for a solid DLC, perhaps a Covenant Campaign? That would be slick. Naturally new Skirmish maps and whatnot, new units or something would be neat as well.

Something everyone should note, It was heavily rumored on the official Halo Wars forums that Ensemble created some DLC before closing its doors.
If this is the case, I would think that Ensemble wouldn't have wasted valuable time on new maps, but on balancing a new race. Flood anyone?
Again, this isn't for sure, just repeating what i've read on the other forum. Could be B.S. but might not be. |

Rumour has it they're introducing the Flood into the choice of commanders for Multiplayer.
I personally say go for it!
More variety of choice is good. More people will be checking out the Flood and ignoring Anders, who's supposedly the noob of choices according to my friends.
None the less I'm personally surprised that the RTS has been such a hit, although I shouldnt be. Congrats to those in the Production of the game, and looking forward to that DLC. |

I can tell you there is proof that Halo is not the worst game ever. It may be to you and others, but the number of people who like/love Halo far surpasses the amount that don't. Halo has stayed in the top 2 most played since it's release and always ends up in the first spot one time or another.
Halo FTW ...... always... |

@32: I must say, sir, your logic does not resonate with me. You say it is the worst game you have ever played yet you also say that you wouldn't even play the demo. So have you played it or not? If you have, fine, you are entitled to your opinion, if not, however, I suggest you play the game before attempting to bash it.
On another note, to those of you who are convinced this game only sold well because it contains the name "Halo," I say not necessarily. While I know I am only one person, I have historically not particularly cared for the Halo series, but Halo Wars got me excited, and I thoroughly enjoy the game. There must be more out there like me, so just know that the fact that Halo Wars has "Halo" in the title doesn't necessarily mean that's why it sold well. Maybe it sold |
