Halo Wars looks great, but like all console RTS games, the controller makes it very difficult to manage large armies and the accompanying skirmishes.
I go into the Halo Wars demo with a pretty different background than my buddy cmfl3x. Whereas he’s a big fan of the Halo universe, I actually dislike it a lot. I never got into it, and for some reason almost everything about it puts me to sleep (except maybe The Flood – when those things appear I tend to wake up). So I’m not a fan of the Halo lore and all that, but I love RTS games. I’ve played them for the last decade or so on the PC pretty competitively – ranking highly on ladders, leading clans, etc. Nowadays I’m more resigned to a more relaxed, less competitive lifestyle of playing RTS games on my couch with a controller.
So how does a “Halo hater” but RTS game lover like me feel about the demo?
