February 7, 2009 In an effort to breathe new life into Spartan Dominion, I’ve decided to write an update. It’s certainly been awhile for most of us. Until recently, activity has been few and far between. We’ve been occupied by school, jobs, or life in general – and that’s understandable. But there’s really no sense in letting a place we each once held near and dear to our hearts just die like this. As Jana said…
So let’s not let SD die, alright? Halo Wars is coming out in scant weeks (March 3rd) along with (on the limited edition) the Mythic Map pack. You can download the demo here. Halo 3: ODST, if you haven’t heard about it, is another Halo game coming out this year (September 1). You assume the role of an ODST who lands in New Mombasa after Regret’s ship makes the jump to Delta Halo. Read more about it here and here. You can read Bungie’s latest weekly update here.

SD is like Fidel Castro... it will never die. I played the Halo Wars demo last night, I like it. The controls are easy and friendly. There arnt a lot of units though, and that makes me sad. Its a definate buy though. The cutscenes are great. |
So what, I'm a Star Wars geek?!?

It's great to see another update. Thanks once again, Gren! I played the Halo Wars demo not too long ago. I did have some fun with it, and I think it has a potential to be a really great game. However, there are a few things I noticed: - There aren't many units, compared to many RTSs I've played. This might not be a problem, but I can see it possibly making the game monotonous after a while. - The AI is very easy to beat, even on the harder difficulty, if you practice a bit. I suppose in the full game you can just go against two or more computer players at once, though. - It's hard to see things sometimes. I hope the full game increases the zoom range, letting you see things closer up or get a better idea of the big picture. With regards to the new maps, I'm pumped. Sandbox looks like it'll be a lot of fun! |
