I'm a a Pegasus/unicorn pony who is the co-ruler of Equestria; along with my sister Princess Luna. We are both responsible for raising the sun and the moon and stars. I am the mentor of Twilight Sparkle. She is my faithful student.

What makes this thread "official"?

Should have been a PC game. Would have been an awesome RTS if done right.

I am also concerned with this.

We should establish a governing body to determine just how "official" this thread is.

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…

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

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


If you've dreamed of commanding a scorpion army, you should get it.

I enjoyed it, I was the top 5 forge player in the game :D


...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.
Paulus Magintie.

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.


And who was this "5th" best player? I certainly hope you aren't talking about Forge is Down.
It was 3 years ago and his name began with a W.

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

Pretty fun game. Like it with friends.

They are overpowered at the beginning of the game. After 10 minutes UNSC destroys covy.

2 spartans, or even 5 marine units, along with a leader power renders them completely and utterly useless.

What on Earth are you people talking about?

If we're going into 1v1, MAYBE they are over powered, but if it's a team game, they nowhere near it.

At best, the most damage any of them can do is by using the Arbiter, getting out 5 suicide squads, and rushing you with it, but at best all they will do is damage one of your structures, and typically nothing more.

Covy leader rushes almost always use more resources than anti rush tactics against them.

Maybe but rushes are what make the Covy dangerous. Its easy to counter but when you get rushed by three leaders its hard to stop a rush.

You say it's what makes them dangerous, but turn around and say it's easy, then turn around again and say it's difficult.


Make up your mind on this, please.

Teh puma does not recall it being extraordinarily difficult countering covy rushes. UNSC rushes are typically tougher to rebound from, covy rushes are nothing more than nuisances. By the time they are ready people typically have small armies already prepared. Even if one of the UNSC is turtling the team can counter 3 leaders early game.

Simply share your resources with each other and you can easily wipe them out, or render them useless, and still use less resources than them.

Teh puma has yet to see where you guys are coming from with this.

Its situational on how hard they are. Usually I get bad teams and have to fight 3v1.

Please refer to previous post on numbers regarding team games, and 1v1. It still applies here.

Of course it's situational, that doesn't progress this discussion very much. If your team is trash, then of course it's difficult, they don't meet the necessary skill requirements to render such a task "easy". If your team knows what the hell it's doing 85% of the time, then typically it's going to mop the floor with them.

Even with 1v1 most Covy can get to your base in under 1:30. It completely ruins the fun if you can't have a nice long fight. It makes for rather boring matches when you just do the same thing over and over .

That's not an opposing argument to what teh puma said... at all, actually.

It was on of the best RTS games I've experienced on the Xbox 360.

I agree with your point. One of the only reasons I don't like Halo Wars. I still have it and play it often. Just it ruins the greatness of the game when you know a match will last only on average 3 - 10 minutes.

It only lasts 3-10 minutes if you let it. If you get rushed and fail to repel it, that is your fault, not the enemies.

If you can repel it, and gain the advantage you can have as many battles as you want.

Teh puma has yet to see an issue here.

Halo Wars rocked its just dissapointing Ensemble Studios went under and couldnt make another.

You clearly are a better player then me on Halo Wars or you have a better team. You have to agree though. RTS games should last at least a hour.

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.
