Title: Just played through C&C3 demo on the 360, fun
Post by: FancyFeast on February 10, 2008, 05:44:23 PM
Now that I have a hugemongous TV, i gave the demo a shot.  Very fun.  I may have to look for it on the cheap.  I'm going to get the lotr demo too now.

Are they worth getting for single player only?  I dont like online rts..

Yeah. game is great. I think target B&M has it for under $10 now.

Oh nice.  Did I hear correctly that the campaign is only from one side of the battle?

KB/M controls on a console defeats the purpose of a console.

The EA RTS titles, LOTR/C&C3 have a very good control scheme. We can get our dicks up about the best way to have it, but its a nice option to the PC version and honestly does a much better job expanding the audience than anything accomplished in the PC market.

Halo Wars looks pretty generic from what ive seen. Ill probably get it, but it looked like a Halo C&C mod. Ensemble is a good group and im sure the mechanics will be solid..but even so..

Halo Wars sounds kinda dumb because the whole concept of Halos was based on Master Chief as a 1 man army.

Console-friendly RTS controls have already been done.  All Ensemble has to do is tweak what's been established, throw in some Halo mythos and churn out a solid RTS.

Nope, It's 3 sides. GDI, NOD, and Scrin. You have to beat GDI and NOD to get Scrin. Oh and I can't promise that C&C3 will be under $10 at ever B&M Target. I know of a few around here that had it for $14 along with F.E.A.R.

However, CAG users all over have confirmed that most of the store has them at a clearance price. I think it needs to have a generic UPC sticker

Awesome, I am so getting this one.   :-*

Not originally. Halo Wars is back to the series' roots :bow

I really couldn't handle playing it with a controller. Way too weird and clunky for me.

If you read the Halo novels you'll realize that master chief was never meant to be a one man army, and there is a later gradual shift to lower cost versions of power armor that focus on stealth and infiltration. Ghosts of Onyx goes over this in detail.

Spartan series armor cost an arm and a leg, but the original spartan group was in the hundreds iirc.
