    Distant Storm:I mean really, 1 race, 15 missions? Come on man...... Warcraft 3 has 4 races, each with like 10 missions......and it came out a few years before Halo Wars did.... I just don't see why people can't learn from older games...... But my point is, they should make a Covenant Campaign with AT LEAST 15 or more missions...... GTA 4 expanded it's SP. I think Halo Wars should do it also. I'm sorry Robot, but new maps/modes just aren't going to do it. Anyone Agree, Disagree?

    Do you have any idea how much extra work it would take to make a campaign? You have to write a script, then create missions, concept art, everything. Then you have to make the missions and test them. This takes a very long time, and I don't think Robot even has the staff necessary to do it in less than a year or two. Besides, you'd need to hire new voice actors, which is a big job in itself. All this work and it probably still wouldn't be profitable - even if they made it cost as much as a new game, 60$. There's no way this thing could be an expansion pack, much less a DLC. Think of the difference between Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST.

    The direction ES took the game screwed them completely. Not saying a campaign is easy to make: but they should've spent a LOT more time on the game. Take a look at SC 2: it's taken Blizzard TWELVE *** YEARZ!!!

     

    Maybe the fact that the moment halo wars came out Ensemble broke apart and Robot was created. this could've  affected the release date and forced them to package the game a lot earlier then they intended. 

    Side note: everyone compares this game to starcraft and obviously starcraft is better. but lets compare this game to the other xbox rts games.... that is right, after you compare you will realize just how good halo wars is for being played on an xbox. 

    pretty good, not as good as cnc, if my ears are correct.

    what about a dlc where we get 5-10 new missions fighting back on Harvest as UNSC? I don't think they would have to do too much work bc they could just build off of what they've already created. Let's be serious, do you really think that they would put that much time and effort into creating a new campaign for the covies? and maybe instead instead of leading forge into battle, we could use Johnson (just saying, i don't even know if he was fighting on Harvest when the sof was there.)

     

    Johnson left after they evacuated Harvest. And I think this time, they should have FREE BASE BUILDING, I don't think the code would change much. At most, it would take two years. And @ Remus, the goal is to get MORE races into this game, like SC and CnC.

    Hey i hear ya, it would be freakin awesome if they added more races to the game (i'd even take the flood as a new playable race) but I truly don't believe that they ever will, but who knows, maybe if we keep talking about it they will do it. Just look at the latest dlc, they weren't going to add a new 3v3 until they looked at how much people were complaining about not getting it.

    Indeed, I might even like it if it took place after the H-CW, and they found new aliens, lying in wait.

    I'm just throwing this out there but i think that ONE and only one day (maybe even a certain hour), everybody should start a thread about how much they want a new covie campaign.Maybe then robot will pull their heads out of their *** and realize what the fans want. feel free to disagree/argue

    Screw covy campaign. Even though it sounds bad i think Robot should do what every other game company is doing- make the equivalent  horde from Gears 2 on their game. What if you had a co-op mode lets say 3 people in each game where you have to survive against a ton of progressive waves of flood. Tell me that wouldn't be fun and a ton of people can't complain about it all day because its not like you're dealing with some really good player who can't be beat.

    Is this game really that bad? I mean if you think its that bad why are you on these forums. You're a complainer just accept that and move on with your life.

    Wave modes have been around ages. Much longer than Gears 2. Probably longer than Xbox. A covy campaign would have been nice, but it should have been in the original release, because they're not going to be able to make it profitable now.

    Indeed, and I don't want M$ pulling that "full potential" shite they pulled with Halo 3: ODST. This should be standalone, only worth the 15-30 bucks I'm gonna pay. And please, PLEASE, can we have free base building? And if it comes with more units, and maps, give it an MP.

    i would maybe pay 25$ for that and the covenant  campaign would be a great idea.
    Almost isn't good enough.

    Re: They should have a Covenant Campaign DLC......

    They should make it where if they make a Covenant Campaign DLC, they put it into the game, so when you load up Halo Wars and pick new campaign, there would be a choice between playing the UNSC Campaign, or the Covenant Campaign, instead of making it a separate file on your HD. Also, they should make the Campaign Free Building. The UNSC Campaign should be for beginner RTS players, and the Covenant Campaign should be more advanced, since there is Free Building. They should even have a seperate online for the Covenant Campaign since it is Free Building.

    Read my FF! Human-Covenant War: Without The Great Schism. It's an FF based upon how the war would have ended up if there was no Great Schism. There are a lot of twists and there is a lot of action!

    Re: They should have a Covenant Campaign DLC......

    sounds good to me, the covies would be like an amazing campaign, maybe a strategic veiw of reach like fighting hoards of the spartens, they should really increase the max unit, today i went deathmatch on 1v1 with easy ai, and i got 100 grunt sqauds, and it wasent laggy, im saying that if i could do that then why cant you have more than 50 unit on screen. i mean the xbox could defenetely take it, plus who wouldent want to take on more than 3 spartens at a time, like killing sparten omaga sqaud would be a cool mission, or attacking sparten training facilities, space battles would be coooooool, i mean just throwing that out there, dosent have to happen ever but that would be sweet.

    That is COMPLETELY non-canon. I think they should make a Covenant campaign expansion (not DLC), with free base building. I also think they should add more units, and have NO leaders!

    Re: They should have a Covenant Campaign DLC......

    i felt this way too. the only way to get used to all the covenant characters and tech is to play skirmish and online only. hopefully robot / ensemble will make a camapign dlc like mass effect / gears 2 / gta4 / fallout has. but it would be massively cut down. no cgi cut scenes and perhaps a shorter length. as much as i would love it, i dont think they would get the budget to do it justice.

    At this point it doesn't really matter lol. With Halo 3: ODST coming out, I think a lot of people still playing HW will migrate to Halo 3: ODST.
