@Gelugon_baat: Ah yes, the trite mantra of making "informed" baselines using other folk's opinions and curiously perusing through various YouTube videos. Stay classy.

@Gelugon_baat: You're playing the game right now?

@onehitta323: By quite a few. You can read the reviews found on the different aggregate sites - be it open critic, gamerankings, or metacritic.

No operating system?

@69ingChimpmunks: Halo Wars 1 was well received. 82 on MC.

@jimmydonegood: Heroic difficulty is the baseline for return Halo players.

@ishsgames: Reviews are subjective; you shouldn't expect everyone to share similar opinions. Difference of opinion is welcomed; so long as one can readily and fully articulate their thoughts...

@groowagon: HW1 was an excellent strategy game for the 360. Fine-tuned controls and great use of lore from Halo to create a overall fun game. I didn't buy HW1 expecting to have Iron Hearts III level of depth, nor do I expect the same in HW2. The game is upfront in how it presents the gameplay; the resources, and base management. You can levy issue at RPS gameplay, but it offers much more random/quick gameplay and doesn't allow one strategy to dominant.

@naomha1: FYI. The first one scored a 6.5 at Gamespot. Obviously, a numerical value doesn't dictate how much "fun" you have with a game.
