Lots of Info on some new upcoming 'Halo' based properties announced at X06, including a game from the new Wingnut Interactive (Peter Jackson) and an RTS from Ensemble (AOE Series). I came rock:

no bungie no buy from me

... ... ... ...

looks sweet, every rts by ensemble has been good so far...so i guess we'll see how this goes. i hope its not an exclusive to the 360 cause most rts games on consoles end up sucking, but i guess i could buy a keyboard and mouse of my 360....but that would be gay.

Can you even run a keyboard and mouse ona 360 as of right now? I thought that was suppose to be a Live update.

ok, so i read the faq...and it is a 360 exclusive.

im not sure

Reguardless, from the trailer, it looks awesome

according to the FAQ though, the controls are suppose to be good on the 360 though oOo: we shall see

RTS + keyboard = oOo:

I really wish ms and sony would get their heads out of their ass and support mouse and keyboard in these kind of games as well as fps games. Far as i know 360 supports keyboards for messaging only =/

Im not even gonna bother with halo 3, had enough of playing halo 2 controlling my character like a tank to bore me of fps on consoles.

PC people are too quick to dismiss console controls. The transition is rough at first, but you quickly get a natural feel.

BFME II had good 360 controls

i think if done right fps on consoles can work. halo controls just feel right and i actually prefered the xbox version over the pc port. i bought my 360 so i can play halo 3, so i will definitly be getting it.

I had the original xbox and found it annoying in halo, i completed the game but even after that the controls are still clunky and annoying as fuck. You're meant to be controlling a character but with the analogue sticks you feel like you're controlling a tank turret. Rts games are the same deal, i played red alert on the playstation and that was a pain in the hole to play with a joypad.

Sony brought out m ouse ages ago for ps1 or ps2 (possibly both) and it never got much use, i dunno why sony and ms don't support usb keyboards and mice for certain styles of games which need more accurate controls, those being fps and rts. This whole bullshit of "omg its like a pc if it has a mouse and keyboard, who fucking cares? Their components are all made by pc hardware manufacturers anyway.

Well what pissed me off, is the PS2 took a keyboard and mouse, yet no games supported it. I think if any company can start supporting FPS games on a console with a keybpard and mouse its gonna be microsoft. I just wish they would do it now I mean it has USB ports, and the new computer controller microsoft made for the PC that uses a usb port can also work on the 360 which is awesome, so you dont have to buy 2 diffrent controllers for your PC and Xbox, you only need 1

Xbox 360 controller isnt as clunky, tho

I think they should make a Halo movie in CG, that looked wicked good.
