Title
You're only going to enjoy this game if you *really* love the Halo franchise as a whole. As someone who played this game through to completion (and grinded the multiplayer way more than I should've), this is a really piss poor attempt at an RTS. Even worse when you try and make that work well on consoles of all things.

There's not really that big of a skill ceiling, and even then the game becomes more of a chore than anything after your 5th game. Games either go by way too quickly to really enjoy and savor that process of building up your own army, or are such a drag that you don't even want to continue the game maybe half an hour into it at most.

Not really worth your time at all, unless you're just *really* gagging for whatever Halo content you can grasp onto.

    The online play on Xbox 360 was really underrated. It does not compare to basically any early RTS game's online play, but given what consoles can handle and the limiting aspects of this game, it was awesome.

    First strategy game I played. Maybe not the best RTS out there, but still really good for what it is.
