I know many of you didn't enjoy Halo Wars, whether it was because it was an RTS or simply because it lacked Bungie's love. A couple of my friends and I did have some good laughs while playing, and the online play (unbalanced) could be pretty fun. I know the game doesn't even scratch the surface of having depth like something of Starcraft's magnitude, but Halo Wars was alright in my book.

Recently, my friend and I found out that they never took the servers down because of fanatical devotion to the game showed by some of the players. Even know, every night, you can find ~7500 players online, which is surprising to even me.

We sat down and decided to beat the legendary campaign, something I could never do because we were always stuck on the 5th level. Last night, we beat the game, and shared some good laughs along the way. I'm pretty proud of ourselves, and I just thought I'd share. Halo Wars had a pretty hard legendary campaign at some parts, and I say this as someone who's beaten all campaigns on legendary and has done mythic runs.

TL;DR: After many lulz, beat HW on Legendary. I respect your opinion on the game, and I enjoy it at times.

Mission 5 was Arcadia city or retreat from it?

Just hold out for 10 minutes for any level ,then spam out units and the game is easy from there.

Retreat from it, the megaturret is so annoying.

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

Halo Wars had a fantastic story, great cinematography, and fun gameplay. However, the difficulty curve was reeeaallllyy high for me. Most levels past Normal were too hard, and normal was too easy.

Yes it is spelt like that on purpose.

I rather liked Halo Wars, it's no Starcraft but as far as any RTS on any console goes it's the best one. Pretty great fun to play with friends and the online is decent. I think for me Arcadia was the one level I had to play several times over on legendary. Congrats and good luck if you try getting Running the Show, I know thats one Halo acheivment I will never get.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Halo Wars is amazing. Playing online 3v3 with friends is matched by few games. The strategies and the laughs you can have are unlimited.

I love that game to death, and I dont even like RTS's that much.

But I do agree with some unbalancing issues. The Prophet is the most OP thing in that game, it can get annoying very easily when you have to play against 3 Prophets in a single game.
