    Re: Early Demo Giveaway Contest

    The thing I'm most excited about in Halo Wars is that this game was made by the Legendary Ensemble I have one of your games and I love it so I'm excited to see what you've done with Halo I'm also excited because I get to use the Arbiter and Scarab on my friends. P.S. I cant wait to hear my friends scream, "Is that the Arbiter omg what happened to my spartan.

    Edit: I'm also excited to see what the game will be like meaning I've played RTS games for the 360 but they wernt very good so I want to see how good this game is.

    Lethe:

    "What are you most excited about in Halo Wars?"

    Well, Lethe, I am most excited that this is my first experience at playing a RTS on a console and it is a halo themed one.  Not only that, but also, it is made by my faveorite RTS development team (no lie there).  I can't wait to complete campagin, which I already know will be epic, and then move onto skirmish/multi-player.  Halo Wars is bringing innovation to RTS with its control scheme and I am eager to see how that lays out also. 

    All in all, the thing I am most anticipated for in Halo Wars, is the multi-player experience.  I am eager to get online and see how I fare on HaloWars.  This is the first time I will be playing a RTS on console (save one little expirience with C&C3) and I want to see if I will be good.  It will be the first time I play any RTS versus a human-controlled team online.  So, I just want to see if I will be good.  I personally think I will be good, but lets not get ahead of ourselves, the demo isn't even out yet.

    Well that about sums up all my Halo Wars feelings, have fun reading all the entries mods ;)

    EDIT:  Second thing I am most anticipated for is... A SEQUAL!!!


    Well moderators, you managed to ban the people who didn't do a *** thing, congratulations..

    Re: Early Demo Giveaway Contest

    What I am most excited about Halo Wars:

    You get to become the will of Prophets and quell humanity once and for all. 

    I want to glass my enemies and make some early Christmas ornaments out of them.

    Watching a Spartan dodge bullets because they obviously never die. 

    By the way the music of Halo Wars really just makes me feel like I got butterflies in my stomach. Thank you for making this game and dream a reality for me.

    Re: Early Demo Giveaway Contest

    hmmm... lots of demo give aways...

    but, i guess the thing im looking forward to the most would be the MP and skirmish.  I really don't play games for stories, as I find most suck, due to my incredibly high standards for them.

    I hope that the skirmish maps will be fun and vary from environment and size and other fun features.

    but, as I said, i look forward to the skirmish and MP of halo wars and hope to have a blast playing it.

    EDIT: please do not pick me

    Re: Early Demo Giveaway Contest

    Honestly....? The one thing I'm most excited about is the spartans. I wanna wreak havoc among my enemies and steal all their high ranked units. =) Whats more fun then changing a battle right in the middle of it? =)

    EDIT: On a side note, thank you guys for coming through and still finishing the game for all of us. =] I know I'll enjoy it.

    Re: Early Demo Giveaway Contest

    all i can say is that...i have always loved RTS ever sence AoE1 and when i heard about it in 2007 i was all hyped up because i always loved the Age of Empire series and the way it is setup so when i found out it was for Xbox i was so enthused and talked about it for a week...than i relised it was your last game and almost cryed...

    well in halowars im looking foward to the game play and Campaign because the gameplay in your last games were the best of any RTS's that ive played and in RTS's the Campign was not elaborated on and not as enjoyable as FPS, AOE and Starcraft are the only exeption,also i would like to see a halo game where i can controle a good army and battle...thats why...

    Re: Early Demo Giveaway Contest

    My favorite thing about halo wars is going to be able to see all my favorite halo units and characters from an RTS veiw and then getting my butt handed to me by the easiest enemy.

    Edit: I've now attached a gamertag to my account

    Re: Early Demo Giveaway Contest

    The thing i would be most excited about would be the fact that we get to view the battles from a differnt perspective and can control whole armies.  I am also interested in the new control scheme and how that will be incorporated.  Those are the two most exciting things, it was close second with just about everything else in the game.

    Re: Early Demo Giveaway Contest

    What I'm MOST excited about HaloWars? Wow, thats a tough question... theres just so much...

     I am looking forward to a unique experience. What I am looking forward to, is the last works of Ensemble studios. Should be interesting to see their hard work, determination to go out with a bang... Should turn out to be one mind blowing experience. Couple that with the fact that its HALO, which is a franchise that got me to buy an xbox (besides the mechwarrior series)

    I can't wait for the epic battles, the awesome abilities, the unique units... The overall experience of finally being able to control Unggoy and Sangheili (my favorite species in any fictitious universe EVER)

    Like I said, Couple that with the fact that its ENSEMBLE studios last works (not necessarily the employees works, but them as Ensemble) which would drive anyone to work harder and make a better game.

    Living through the experiences of the UNSC/Covenant struggle, thats also going to be the most epic gaming experience of the year. I wasted/spent my last paycheck on an HDTV just so ill be able to get that much more immersion out of it.

     

    So, to answer your question, what im looking forward to the most in HaloWars, is the unit chatter, the visuals, the units, the gameplay, and totall overall imersion that is just one hot halo bath to clense my soul and ready me for the Great Journey!

    Re: Early Demo Giveaway Contest

    Honestly, Im excited about everything.

    I am really liking the cutscenes so far, and I really want to see how the story is done.

    Of course tho, what im really looking forward to in the long run is the multiplayer.

    The controls(although I havent played the game)seem really solid, and I really hope that we can at last have a fun RTS on the consul.

     

    The Learder units also really interest me. Im curious as to what they will be capable of in combat and how they will play to certain players tastes and offer different tactics depending on who you chose.

    As well as how all six of them will be balanced in terms of the leader itself, special units, and super powers.

    Im also interested in how the spartans are balanced. We have seen that not only can they hijack all vehicles excluding the scarab, but that in the middle of combat,they also jump around and doge attacks. Its going to be really cool to see them in action.

    I am also very excited to see the Flood make a appearence. Although I do wish we could play them, it is at least nice to know they will be in the game. I cant wait to see how they pan out in Multiplayer. I want to release the flood on my enimies,even if I go down with them XD.

     

    I am really pumped for Halo Wars, although I would have rather have had some things done differently...I am still very happy with how the game is overall.

    And I look forward to getting a taste of it from the demo.
