Halo Wars, again

So, I got the game today.
I won't spoil anything about the campaign so don't worry.

To my surprise I love this game, especially the multiplayer, the game is formidabally balanced.
3v3's are insanely intense too!

As for campaign, got to the sixth level, don't have problems with the story yet, just the dialog in the cinematics are very cheesy.

Dialouge worse than Keyes 'To war.' line?

that was better then "johnson sound off" and the way she died i mean she could of shot johnson with the last of her energy like marines with rockets do

That annoyed me so very much. Then it turned out that 'War' was actually a town just outside New Mombasa. Happy days!!

glad to see you like it. I should warn you though, the seventh mission is...well a pain is all I will say.

anyway, maybe we'll meet online and have our final battle

Are the flood actually like zombies? Or do they just play as another faction?

I've only encountered Flood in multiplayer thus far, there's a big 3v3 map that has flood colonies or something. Kill it and get a firebase location.

You're going to change your mind when you reach Level 8 and 9.

That's when things start going wrong.

About mission 7, I found it quite entertaining tbh.
Mission 8 will be for later, but yea things seem a bit fishy here.

That's when canon takes a nose dive.

After all that complaining on HWF and other crap, you find out that you actually love this game.

Im not insulting you....I just find this extremely funny. Have fun and enjoy it, I still have to wait for another 2 weeks.

...
knowing others have the game and i do not really makes me pissed off

So nobody knows if the flood are actually zombies? Are they dangerous? Is there actually a very well done infection?

I can wait. I waited for all the previous Halos (even though I got them they day they came out), I can wait for this. The cinematics look very good though, from what I've seen.

Finished the campaign and I actually liked the story. There probably are some canon inconsistensies, but they're so minor that I really don't care.

Also for those anti-cyclopse people out there, they really only got used in one mission.

That's one too many.

Haha, it didn't even get used in a combat role though.
You can only build them in that mission too, really it fulfills it's role as a repair machine exactly.

Wars a town near voi??? ITS A SINE OF THE APOCALIPS PELICANS FALLING FROM THE SKY!

Really?

Except they still look like the Ironmongerer with liquid anime poured on it.

What about the Spartan Laser?

In campaign, only one of the spartans wields the laser. Each Spartan wields a different weapon.

How many levels do you fight the flood for? And are there any missions where you encounter the covenant already fighting the flood?

That's pretty cool. I like that idea.

Except the Spartan Laser wasn't even around.
And the Chaingun? Give me a frikkin' break! There's a reason it's not an infantry weapon. It was barely alright when it was an infantry turret that could be ripped off, but an actual weapon?

I mean, seriously, the Spartans would have been better off with normal infantry weapons, with upgrades to sniper rifle or anti-vehicle rifle. (Think M99 Stanchion Rifle)

And does the Prophet get seen in campaign?

Nobody answered my question on the flood...
