Subject: Official Halo Wars is Beastly Thread!

What are these first person words you speak of?

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.

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.


Teh puma's point with that last post is that they don't have to last an hour. It's simply one of the nicer ways of going about it.

Whether or not they "should" is out of the question because it is entirely up to the players. If it didn't last an hour than you and the other player's skill levels simply didn't match. If the other player doesn't want to completely destroy your army for an hour simply because you cannot wage a fight at their level, then they don't have to be put through that.

Having them last that long is typically fun, yes, but is typically only that way, for both parties, if both parties are around the same skill level at that game. If one man is completely wrecking everything you build for an hour, and you barely take down even 20% of their units, typically the enemy is only letting you rebuild so they can farm you for points, and it isn't a level match whatsoever.

Maybe I just suck at the game.

Lets just hope 343i makes a Halo Wars 2.

Wow, just wow!

I love it, but I constantly get demolished in online matches.

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.

Meh it's alright, the low cap on how many things you can have really bummed me out.

If I haven't fired you yet, it's because I'm still firing your mom in bed.

I was an automatic difficulty skirmish whore, and I got mine pretty freaking high (I forget the exact number, but practically twice the Legendary difficulty) by using Cutter and rushing with Vultures and using ODST spam as backup. On one occasion, though, I got the bright idea of doing a 3v3 on I believe 164 difficulty. I rushed like usual, but was repelled by the combined enemy just because they HAPPENED to be converging in the area I attacked.

This single battle spawned a six hour skirmish. And I won. At first my side was doing well but then my AI pals started to lose, and it went 3v3 to 2v3 to 2v2 to 1v2, and that's when it started to get tough. I thought about giving up multiple times, but I just kept up the Vulture spam. I tried using counter units, but the time and effort I used just to get different units started made me start losing, so I had to revert back to mass Vulture spam to get back to a stable point despite the almost overwhelming number of Vampires.

I think I either got lucky, or one of the enemies tried something different as a response to me trying different units that got them. I managed to get one base more than before, and started up another two vultures. While they were quickly getting back that one base, I crippled their military output bases and after that it was all downhill for them.

Six hours of trading blows, back and forth, and I came out on top. Never before have I felt more satisfaction and pride.

So guys, I was playing this Command & Conquer game...

"So- So this means Im just going to be miserable for the rest of time?!"

"No. This means that you have to live life to the fullest. You have one life, live it well. Make sure you die without regrets. Get a new life, new mate, new family. You, out of all people, don't deserve a terrible fate of misery like that. Having nothing to look forward to is good. It makes sure you want to keep on going. Living is a right, not a privilege."

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

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

Actually going to play some now. I got a great strategy with Chieftain. So far it hasnt failed me team matches.

It was really good game. If I never played Halo Wars I probably wouldn't have played StarCraft.

I enjoyed it. A lot. Good dumb fun.

  • 01.04.2013 1:16 PM PDT

Too slow and its not a real RTS.

Command And Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath is the best console RTS on Xbox.
