Seeing as the 360 works with mice and keyboards I hope this game does :D

A mouse and keyboard are not always requied for a great RTS. BFME2 on 360 has perfect controls with a joypad. If you havent played it you wont believe me, but playing a RTS is a million times better than on PC.

I have played it, and its nothing on a mosue and kb

Well, they'll probably have keyboard support for typing messages but I doubt for actual gaming. I think it's good, it levels the playingfield a bit for us with little RTS experience since Bungies Myth games.

Everyone will have their own preferences.

 

Let's just let everyone do things their own way, and not worry about if there's some kind of "best" setup.  Different people, different interfaces.

ye this would be useful wouldn't it?

In you're wondering, I have read the Faqs...

I don't think that an RTS game can be played on a console, maybe it should be

released on both the Xbox 360 and the PC/Mac. 

go get LOTR battle for middle earth...it is very possible to be done.

 

and who knows, maybe by time the game comes out, there will be a RTS controller, like there will be a FPS contoller

 

edit: it could even have k/m support as well.

No no no no no noooooooooooooo. I'm fed up with the PC getting everything :P. But on a serious note, The game was built specifically for the Xbox 360, which means if the controlls will be in anyway a problem the game would have been put on a halt. I don't think there will be any problems with it myself.

 

 

 

Viva la Bungie!

I don't see any reason why This game should be made for the pc, they are making it for the 360 and it is designed for the 360 not the pc. Long live Halo 

It would be nice if we had the pick of playing using our controller, or plugging in a USB keyboard and mouse and playing like were on the computer.

The reason the idea of a console RTS game gets a bad reaction is because in the past, RTS games on consoles have been ports.  This game has been built from the ground up as an Xbox 360 title, with all the control problems in mind.  I think Ensemble will pull this off.  People didn't think you could play an FPS properly on a console, but Halo proved that otherwise.

Personally I'm a little dissapointed that the game isnt being made for Windows.  With all the updates coming in Direct x 10 and the Gaming for Windows initiative, not to mention Ensemble's track record of making excellent RTS games for the PC it really doesnt make sense to make it solely for the 360 and not for the PC.  I dont care what anyone says, it is more difficult to play an RTS with a 360 controller than it is with a mouse and keyboard. 

its going to be very very very wierd for the controls because RTS games are usually played on PCs with Mouse and Keyboards for click and hoykeys.

That would be really cool, wireless usb mouse and keyboard on the 360, with media centre support, Someone should definately release a 360 mouse keyboard set. This game will be amazing, especially since it's being designed for the 360, I was not much of a fan of the controls in LOTR. This was all announced today? no other info asides from that trailer?
