Halo Wars: The 360 only RTS.

WHY???

from Sins Forums

Halo Wars looks awesome but one thing annoys me: it is for Xbox 360 only. Come on! RTS game are meant for PC. I mean seriously, have console RTS games really done that well compared to the PC versions? I don't think so. I can kind of understand 360 and PC RTS games, but 360 only? No way. Not only does the interface for console RTS's get bad reviews but many people (including me) don't own a 360! Maby I am just annoyed because I can't play it but unless they make a PC version I will think of Halo Wars as the game that took a great concept and totally ruined it.

while it would be nice if it was on the pc, it is looking to be a great game.  The main reason the console RTS interface is awkward (supposedly) is because it was a pc game that was transitioned to the console.  Halo Wars is going to be designed for the 360, so its interface is likely to be much more useful and easy to use than the other RTS console games.

Hehehe... The user manual: "To enter the menu, hit start. To win, one must push 'A' while in the menu. However, only one player can win, so the players must decide who will push 'Y' and thus lose; this diplomacy shall be done over X Box Live. However, great diplomacy options are not this game's only feature. Players can push 'X' while in the menu to create soldiers while they are conducting diplomacy in the aforementioned manner. These soldiers do not affect gameplay."
