Halo Wars

The dialogue (or lack thereof) in Zelda fucking sucked too. who cares

O...kay?

Didn't know Zelda had much more dialogue than "It's a secret to everyone" and "It's dangerous to go alone. Take this!"

[Charismatic]

Maybe that's the point he was trying to make... just maybe.

[Maxxthepenguin]

How is that a point? There was a good deal of dialogue in Halo Wars and it was all hilariously cliched. I'm pretty sure it was "DONT MESS WITH A GAME I LIKE, UR GAME SUX TOO"

[Karbuncle]

I think what he was saying was that Dialogue has never been a "Make or Break" for a Game, and even though its nice to have something other then "LETS ROCK" or "FOR THE COVENANT" or something, it shouldn't get in the way of enjoying a game unless your Really really anal


Am i saying thats what you Said and meant? Of course not, but i think thats what he meant.

Zelda's Dialogue sucked, But it was a Fun game, and Started an Amazing series.

Halo's Dialogue has never been Groundbreaking, but its a fun game that has the popularity of Zelda despite some people who didnt enjoy it.

If you have split up armies, pressing down on the D-pad will cycle through them. There needs to be a multiple single target select, imo. Double clicking a unit selects all of the same units (on screen I believe). Holding A allows you to select certain groups of units instead of all/on-screen. I liked grouping in other RTS games. At the press of a button I had control of another division of units without actually having to move the camera to them (therefore making base attacking much easier).

To move faster across the map, you can either hold LT while moving the cursor (it feels like 2x or 1.5x normal speed) or adjust it in the options menu.

I know about the "left" "right", but cycling this way through your army doesnt seem that useful, unless you want to send a quick group ahead.


What I was asking for is something more along the line of "ctrl+1, ctrl+2..etc" in starcraft.

Holy crap, I was just saying that the dialogue in the cutscenes was hilariously, terribly cliche. The Legend of Zelda doesn't enter into it, it doesn't even have dialogue.

Somehow i knew you would say that.

I don't care about Zelda, and yes i think it was an ass retarded comparison, but I was saying that's PROBABLY what >that< guy meant when he mentioned Zelda, It has nothing to do with my opinion on the game.

Yah the cutscene Dialogue had me wondering what they were smoking too, i don't understand you people sometimes. its truly mind boggling. it is

Do you really think that spoken dialogue matters at all in the RTS genre (Have you even heard of Command and Conquer)? I don't think that you (or anyone) should care.... especially when it's known that you fap to games like Zelda which have no spoken dialogue at all.

That's all I was trying to get at.

[Kaylia]

Why does it matter if there is spoken or written dialogue? He wasn't talking about bad voice acting. And why are you comparing it to Zelda in the first place if you believe it make a difference?

Yea that's what I was getting at with the grouping thing, macros etc. It's one of the several perks to operating RTS games on PCs. Compared to other console games, I think the developers came close to nailing this, but they can only do so much. Maybe holding RT can bring up a small menu for you to select different groups you make...idk. It still wouldn't be the same.

I don't even know how you can avoid cliche dialogue in games like this tbh. Maybe they should take the dialogue straight out of the books.

Are you dissing C&C's cutscenes?

Halo.Wars.XBOX360-GLoBAL
just got leaked if anyone's interested :D

PAL, but region free

[Kaslo]

Well Gamestop is doing midnight release tonight! I'm not going cause I will be in Dynamis (most likely) so gonna go in the morning!

[BadKarma]

im gettin it tommorow as well

New Halo 3 maps are great. 2 of the skulls are a joke to find but the one on Sandbox (awesome Forge map) was a real bitch. No Vidmaster Challenge: Brainpan achievement for getting all 3 though (says find all the Mythic skulls), so the other skull achievements they added must be considered part of the Mythic pack, just not included with this DLC.

Alot of potential for great maps on Sandbox. Not started Halo Wars campaign yet, but some of the maps look great after playing about in Skirmish for a while. Brute Chieftain is strong as hell, Arbiter's fun (fuck yeah Suicide Grunts), Sergeant Forge's unique Cyclops unit was awful though, says it's a building killer but it does fuck all in damage compared to just throwing marines at em and spamming nades/RPG. There's a difficulty mode that adjusts to how well you play, so you're not just limited to the 4 difficulties. Still easy as shit to rush the enemy though.

[Komm Suesser Tod]

I got it some time after I got off work, around 7am. Been playing with my friend, getting my ass kicked by people online, but the campaign is great fun, especially doing it co-op style.

[Taera]

I just picked mine up. I got the LE and I got the codes for the new maps on Halo 3 and the Honor Guard Wraith, but wasnt there something about a Warthog with flames on it?

[Kaslo]

Gamestop should have given you another code for that. Its the same size as the one for the wraith but not inside the box. The gamestop guy gave it to me with a mini-guide for mission 2 and some decals. If you didn't get it bitch at gamestop and they should give it to you (maybe get them to read you the code on the phone )

[Taera]

The mini guide came in my package. I'll give them a call though

[Kaslo]

btw Mission 4 can burn in hell... I beat it but how dare they expect me to use healing but never tell me how!
