    Stategic options=ripoff?

    I don't know about anyone else, but here recently I felt like I was bent over and violated after the purchase of the SO.... i mean don't get me wrong Halo Wars is fun and all, but it seems like after reading all of these forums, we the consumers are stuck with the burden of making a playable game. Since the release of Halo Wars i've played my fair share of games and again I think the game is great....but after purchasing the limited edition for 80 plus dollars in addition to the Strategic Option I think my wallets about had it....I know there are going to be people out there who says "oh well quit your crying and leave" (lord knows i'm one of those people) but at the end of the day I feel better having voiced my opinion......So with that being said I feel like there sould be a fine medium between we the consumer and the developers of games.....(especially if we're keeping it afloat) because i've noticed more and more new accounts being made and its hard to find a good match these days..could this be a sign of what's to come? Free map-packs for all!!

    Please use the search bar.  God, I mean the mods invented it for a reason.

    Jeez you're a bit slow on the uptake here. And the guy above is right, if you use the search bar you'll come across thousands of threads for you to complain in.

    I agree however, and knew it would be a rip off even before I bought it. But alas, I love Halo Wars, and so bought it. The gametypes are actually quite fun, with the exception of Tug of War, imo. Must admit I havn't played the new gametypes much, but meh.

    You knew what you were buying, you bought them for that price, if you don't like it you have noone to blame but yourself.

    I have buddy....and you should have a taste of your own medicine....because none have been posted by "senior greenleaf" i've read what others  before myself have posted and what point I was trying to lay out was more and more people to seem to be dropping off of Halo Wars (matchmaking has been pretty pathetic here lately) just dreading the day I see "low population" next to standard mode........

    Wouldn't count on it. Be thankful we're not being charged for the TU's.

    Microsoft Lackey: Good. It would be unfortunate if I had to leave a garrison here.

    Really? I kind of doubt that seeing as how for the most part usually the second or third post is simply asking why the hell they started a new topic when others existed.... but i guess since you read em all, and had this new thought on the subject you must have wanted to be bashed as a welcome of sorts, i wouldd jump out of a cake for your welcome party but im to fat and lazy and ate half the cake.....  but heck with all the other "crumby" topics saying the same thing i'm sure we can manage to pull something together. (some kid in kindergarden is going to read that joke and and be semi amused, if for nothing else waiting for dora the explorer to come back on, just you wait)
