    could be interesting but i feel like a RTS game is hard when its not on a computer.

    like they had C&C on n64 i think and it would take forever to play.

    I started playing RTSs on consoles first. I played Red Alert on the PSX, and I did not find it hard at all. Its just that instead of a mouse, you have the analog stick or the d-pad.

    Its not that hard to play Strategy Games on the console. I enjoyed Starcraft on there.

    Halo Wars... will be interesting to see how it all works out.

    RTS suck on consoles.
    RTSs were originaly made for the PCs and because of that they haven't made the transition to Consoles very well. RTSs flourish by using hot keys, on a console you don't have those hot keys to use. The game could be good if it was made for PC, but not for 360.

    I would also like to point out that it seems that Ensemble and Microsoft are cheaping out on the voice over actors. The person voicing the Spartans isn't the voice of MasterChief. I think that takes away from the game play.

    I dont think that Master Chief is going to be in this arc of the storyline. I could be wrong.

    Yes, Master Chief isn't going to be the arc of the storyline, however since the people playing this are going to be the people playing Halo 1,2,3 (3 releases in March 07! Weeee!) are used to hearing a certain voice coming out of the Spartans, and to change that to a less deep voice, which seems less "manly" is kinda cheap.
