A great update, interesting the new design problems that ES is facing with this game - I guess it's a lot different than working on a game where there's no vehicles bigger than horses or cannons. I kinda hope there aren't that many buildings in the game, but if there is lots there at least they'll be well scaled.  Nice job.

The updates are good - they could be non-existant, and then people would complain even more. Things don't work both ways - people can't ask for updates madly, then complain the updates aren't good enough when they arrive.

Development accident? Maybe one of those gigantic screens exploded - or a debug Xbox.

The Brutes have been fighting with the Elites for the Prophets' favour for a long time, according to Ghosts of Onyx. And the Covenant had heard of the Flood before, they were mentioned in some holy Forerunner book or text, but they had no idea what it was until Halo. I'd still buy Halo Wars even if it was just a UNSC campaign - as long ...

C, been playing Ensemble games for ages, not AOE 3 though because my PC would've exploded.

There should be no "unit creating" buildings, either, because it's just unrealistic. Bringing in troops by Pelican or from off the map is best.

I'm the SMG because I spray eveywh- wait. Actually, I'm a frag grenade. I blend in until I explode

That passage in Ghosts of Onyx is wrong in itself - if a child was old enough to remember what happened on the refugee ship (say, five years old in 2525), they would be 12 by the time the S-III program started training the kids (2532). Also, Jericho VII didn't get glassed until 3 years after that part of tbe ...
