    kombo/planetxbox360's quote on halo wars

    Best Strategy Game: Halo Wars While it wasn’t as graphically as impressive as it looked through video and screenshots, the one thing we can say about Halo Wars is the accessibility the game contains. Having some of the simplest controls for any RTS on the consoles, Halo Wars is user-friendly and should have Halo fanatics excited when they have the ability to have a handful of Spartans on the field defeating Covenant troops. Other Notable Contenders: Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3, Tom Clancy's EndWar

     

     What's Not

    The game almost feels too simple, too streamlined. The RTS genre is characterized by and beloved for the frenzied multi-tasking, the layers of micromanagement, and those make-or-break decisions that mean the difference between victory and defeat. The hardest of the hardcore RTS fans, the kind that love games like Company of Heroes and are looking forward to Starcraft II, might not get enough out of Halo Wars. Its kind of weak that only two, TWO, races have been announced thus far (The Flood have basically been confirmed, but not officially), the lowest number since Warcraft II well over a decade ago. The two races, unit-wise, were also pretty similar to each other, and Starcraft proved long ago that the best battles come from races that are equal but very different. If the Covenant are simply the UNSC with a different skin, Elite for Spartan, Scorpion for Wraith, Warthog for Banshee, then that will hurt the game's long-term appeal. Halo fans, console-exclusive gamers and relative newcomers to the genre on the other hand, will probably appreciate the game's straight-forward nature.

    He made that statement after only playing one faction and only watching the other.  From that perspective it might seem as though they are similar, but once you play both sides you should have a different opinion. The units are not simply re-skins of each other, and if you think that way when you play (as I have) you discover quickly how wrong you were.  (imo)

    A lot of assumption in that comment as Elites are not equal to Spartans, they are a footsoldier in the Covenant army, and we have not had a good look at the Covenant as of yet, so we cannot say that they are just re-skinned units. For all we know, Covenant could have less troops, but they are much more expensive.

    Plus, where has the flood being playable been basically confirmed?
