I think y'all are both wrong halo wars is great because they did NOT make it like every other RTS. Most RTSs are fun yes but take forever and in the end are total boring. Take R.U.S.E. i enjoyed that game very much, bit it took a full 30 mins before you saw any real action. You had to set up supply lines. Protect those supply lines. In halo wars they took all of that out of the equation, which yes itlost some depth but it gained more in fun. No more were you bogged down with the tedium of resource gathering. Halo Wars focuses much more on combat, hence the title "Wars" not resource gathering. Most halo wars games last around 14-20 mins. That is long enough to have fun and short enough to play multiple games a night. Instead of the 2 hour games on most RTSs. They said they had a version that played like age of empires and it just didnt really work and thier testers didnt enough so the switched it to a base location layout. Most ppl that cry halo wars sucks is because they have not clue how to handle a rush with out building turrets to keep them out of thier base area. Halo Wars broke the mold for how a RTS plays and BRAVO to them. Im not against Halo going PC i just dont want them to change to the core game play cause right now it is FANTASTIC!

Forge is the best person to hornet rush with cause no one expects it. Then pair that with tanks. its super deadly. Especially in 2v2. There are very few rushers I fear. One is 'boost freak' his rush is almost unstoppable. I have beaten him only a handful of times. There are a few others but he is the main one. One thing about rushes is that to stop it is usually about leader pairing. Most of the time if I get beat by a rush its cause my team had the wrong leader pairing to stop and repel then counter attack. We play only random all. It keeps the game from becoming boring. If you think your rush is beast come and play me and my pals. It might take 2 tries but I can beat it. Gamertag is the same as my name here.

On the Titan achievement remember there is a 6.4 multiplier so you don't have to get all 20k before you end the game and put the AI on easy. The rest are super easy if you are good. If not then you will struggle.

All of these strategies are total fails. There are only two ways to win. First and most popular is to use the cov. Attack with a small rush to slow down and force teammates to react to the force. Thenhave teammate(s) build gobs of tanks and you make banshees. Its the simplist formula. The other way is to anticipate the quick slow down rush and repel it. The push more tanks and anti-air. Hit them when they are switching or getting more units out. This is the tactic I like best because it takes loads more skill.

I love halo wars. Halo wars 2 should without a doubt be made. Everyone one of my friends that have played it said they would definitely buy a hw2 game if it came out. And I am a big fan of the base build concept instead of the build any where. I was unsure at first but then I realized how much it speeds up the game. I don't have time to play a 2-3 hour game. Also I don't think the game needs speeding up I'm a high level player and it is already difficult to keep up with everything that needs to happen at the beginning and mid game. The flood would be awesome to play. And I don't think it has to play like the starcrafts zerg. I don't really think the forerunners are really feezable to much units would have to be created.
