First Halo Wars Multiplayer screens

The first Halo Wars multiplayer screens are out, and the game looks good to me. I just can't imagine playing an RTS on a console with one of those controllers... so many soldiers, so little buttons...



Quote:
Let's just hope it plays as good as it looks, because for as intuitive as Halo Wars control scheme seems in demo videos, we'll be surprised if we're ever controlling the amount of units in these screens at once on a joypad.

Click here to view the screens since I can't get them to become attachments...

I don't know much about that game but the graphics look like they were built off the original Halo engine. :o

Its just a Halo based RTS, lol. I don't know what else could be put into it. I guess you control like 100 Master Chiefs or something... haha probably something along the lines of Warcraft or Starcraft

Master Chief was supposed to be the only Spartan... so I find a ton of them redundant.

From the novels, he was subject #117. All the Spartans before him, their bodies rejected the treatment and died. A lot of messed up stuff happened to them. He was a Captain America of sorts. I mean I guess if this was set way in the future it could work.

the second screenshot looks like they just dumped a bunch of garbage on the screen and blew it up. waaaay to many troops for RTS on the BOX.
