Other than being terrible at RTS games, I thought Halo Wars was a cool entry into the series. Up until Reach we never really saw the UNSC or Spartans as a fighting force on the offensive.

I can't wait for the dramatic DoA fighting episode where the Chief is beaten up by the commander.

I was all about the books until I found out Karin Traviss is writing them now.

So the trailer showed the Keyes maneuver, but ramming the enemy fleet instead of shooting everything to death?

The captain of the Infinity does not gently caress around.

The new soundtrack sounds more hard scifi than mythical chants, if that makes sense.

Halo 2 had the best campaign, IMO. I liked the whole play as Arbiter thing and was kind of disappointed that they abandoned that. I liked seeing how the covenant think/believe. The angle of the covenant only respecting reptillian races, and hating humans for being inferior mammals was kind of a cool twist.

It made sense why the elites would rebel against the brutes, and be disgusted by that alliance, since the brutes are also a disgusting mammal monkey-evolved race just like humans are.

If I remember right the Elites were more pissed off about being lied to, most of them were kinda okay with humans since when backed into a corner they fought pretty well. I think it was the Halo 2 manual had some of them wondering why humanity wasn't given an chance into the Covenant since they were pretty cunning and a worthy foe.

If I remember right from the books, the Spartans IIs could've been a lot worse if Halsey hadn't interfered a few times. Lesser of two evils I guess.

Has 343 said anything about making another ODST game or anything beyond the Chief games?

Has anyone else had the preorder and LE stuff just disappear from their hub? I had them last time I played and now they're gone.

Can Xbox One and 360 players play together in Spartan Assault?

I'd be down to Halo being more tactical like Republic Commando, that game was awesome.
