You know what, ES?  Everyone on these forums (mostly Haloverse, actually) seems to think it necessary to only point out the faults they see with the game, and not say how amazing this game looks.  It may very well be one of the best RTS's of all time, when you guys are through.  You seem to have perfected a new genre to the console, and I think you have begun the whole transformation of RTS to console; many new developers may try to make other genres on the Xbox360, knowing that it can be done well.

You've turned a first person game into a genre that is actually seen from as far away as possible, and done it well.  You've captured the amazingness of Spartans, and given some more life into the marines.  You've created tons of new vehicles and buildings into the Halo Universe that fit perfectly with all the others (even the Cyclops, I'm sure it will be just fine).

While i do have my occasional gripe about canon and such, that's not what this thread's about.  Nice Job, Ensemble Studios!

Now you can go ahead and lock this thread :D
