Hopefully there is quick look of new warhammer 40,000 coming along as well.

JJGIANTon Feb. 20, 2009 at 9:11 a.m.
Nice one guys

Not so into RTS games anymore, dabbled in Age of Empires back in the day and a bit of Red Alert but they're just not my kind of game I guess.

Very Halo, I like it. The only thing I'd complain about is that god-aweful green...
Montoyaon Feb. 20, 2009 at 9:17 a.m.
nice

Giant Bomb seriously needs to start shitcanning the idiots who do the "FIRST!" garbage. It's really fucking annoying.
Eric_Buckon Feb. 20, 2009 at 9:29 a.m.
Who cares if they say FIRST? What difference does it make. Lighten up.

ALL UNITS!

Very Halo.  Not very RTS.  Looks kinda OK though.
zeoxon Feb. 20, 2009 at 9:54 a.m.
Damnit Meatsim, that was my line :P.
Looks alright, though I'd never even think about playing an RTS on a console

The game looks boring as hell.

Then again, I don't like RTS and Halo.

@ Eric_Buck & AnEternalEnigma
I'm for smacking the "firsters" around a bit.  It's great that they're first, but use it for something.  Go ahead and claim your place as first, then edit the post and add a useful comment/opinion please.

The quicklook makes it look more appealing than the trailers have to me.  I'll have to go ahead and give the demo a try.

Also not an RTS person, but I did like Halo's storyline enough to read some of the books and play the games. This however looks like it would be a good story, but a tough game to play.

Note to Brad: I don't know if this will make a difference in how you play, but I found in the demo at least that you could toggle between different subgroups by pulling the Right Trigger, or select just one type of unit by double pressing the A button.

Oh and people who post just to be the first, and have nothing to say are all really just looking for negative attention. I think those posts should just be deleted out of hand.
