Subject: Official Halo Wars is Beastly Thread!

Butt ugly ape” remarked Sergeant Johnson always making fun out of the situation even though he had been hit by a spiker round in the arm. He mustered up the strength to continue and the team moved on. The Arbiter informed him that the next room held The Prophet of Truth and this was the final room before extraction. Jun proposed that he takes a shot from a distance the prophet and they all head back to the ship bay for extraction. The team agreed on this and breached the last door…

So the purpose of this thread is to discuss why Halo Wars is beastly.

Yes and no, there are counters for each rush possible. It's just learning the defense for certain offenses.

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.

It was designed to bring new players to the genre, mostly FPS players. It was meant to compete with games like Starcraft. It is a great game.

And only the Prophet is overpowered. Its not fair he starts out with such a resiliant shield that recharges fast... and lets not talk about him with upgrades...

...and you are?

sPro has that title owned.

OT: It was nice, but an extremely sub par RTS. It got boring after the 1st & 2nd leaderboard resets.

Still using a pump-action shotgun over 500 years in the future I see.

omg not realistic stop game production plz

For a console RTS, it was solid and simple, even if I would have preferred larger, more dynamic battlefields and the ability to assign squads.

But hell, if I want to play an RTS, I boot up my laptop and stick Age of Empires II on.

I loved it. I don't play many strategy games like Wars, however, I played Wars a ton. Enough to get to general at least.

The Halo trilogy has better AI armies.

And the best part: you can SAVE your results!

I'm not saying they can't be killed. I just think for a singular unit that can be built early on the game and abused so easily is a terrible game mechanic. not game braking but still bad.

They should make it so leaders can't teleport out of a combat situations. Along with not starting with one the instant you build the temple.

Back in 09 I played against the top anders NL Buster I think his name was, and crusaderking the top Forge.

I went on the offical forums for the games and ended up play competitions and I went against the 5th best forge player and destroyed him.

So I took his place.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

I enjoyed it but it's not groundbreaking. Id rather have PC RTS games ported with PC/Mouse peripherals released, Imagine Dawn of War 2 games over XBL!

Forge tank rush <3

  • 01.04.2013 9:30 AM PDT

I persist too long after my own defeat,
Yet I still press forward, staggering on my feet.
But I know that my resolution will be my end.
And once I fall, I shall ruefully transcend.

Not bad at all

Halo Wars is the only Halo game I don't have.

I don't really like RTS games, should I get it?

Forge is arguably the best player choice.

Anders in close second.

Those grizzly tanks are extremely effective units for any army and the starting Heavy Supply pads help greatly with resources.

And who was this "5th" best player? I certainly hope you aren't talking about Forge is Down.

Yes. It's probably 20 bucks. Play the demo if you are unsure.
