I have to say, as a fan of RTS games, that this looks to be a complete and epic failure. The graphics look shoddy, and I don't really think that the storyline will translate well from the FPS to an RTS. But, time will tell.

I'm with you man, I think this looks to be a flop. If they designed it for the pc, based on aoe3, then ported it to 360 they'd probably come out with a much better product. Still I really don't find myself interested in playing with halo vehicles in an rts.

You can never rule out the "fun factor" though. Also, I'm sure they are simply playing off the success of the Halo series.
