I got the midnight release.

I usually dislike console RTS's. in fact I loathe them. But this one, it's different. It has some elements of an RPG (playing as sergeant forge)... sorta. I'm only a bit of the way through the missions. So far, i'm LOVING IT!

I've got the demo, and, yeah, I like it too. The pacing is good, graphics are nice, sound is great and familiar (I've got Halo 3), and most importantly, the controls are better then C&C3's for the 360.

I wish you could assign control groups, but unit selection is quite easy and varied, you can choose specific types of units and what not.

In my opinion, Halo Wars is definitely worth a rent. I may buy it.

It's good, but the base-building was completely pointless. This game would have been excellent if it were more like World in Conflict/Ground Control, as in completely focussed on units and all strategy based around them.
Albeit, I've only played the demo, the campaign was good but the skirmish was a bit average, to be honest. For Ensemble's swan song, it's a good game.

I've got the game. It's simply wonderful, presenting many different scenarios and situations. Just like CnC games, you need to constantly change tactics and keep with the pace.

I think the only two things they could have done was add the feature that vehicles could crush infantry. (Only light scouts have the ability to crush infantry, but it's considered a "power" and needs to recharge before they can crush more infantry.) They could have also made it to where players could actually build their bases, and not have pre-set plots.

i've playerd this game too,personaly i never like RTS on console and i' not Halo fan but this game is truely fun and i like it alot. it have beautiful graphic nice music , wonderful mission design , interesting story and controller can play it very easy. but i think it should have a little more faction [the flood playable?] and more gameplay mode [world dominance ect ].

i hope MS will support this game by keep adding new content , patch update,New MP map like they support Halo.

Oh yes, it's definitely a fun one. Good fluid control. I found it a helluva lot more enjoyable that other console-rts games.
