I had almost zero amount of fun with the demo. 2) Halo is such a great FPS that it's asking too much for the Halo universe to translate well into an RTS. Part of the "love" of Halo is being in the boots of the Master Chief. The whole time I was playing the demo, I was thinking about the "snow" levels of Halo: CE. I've already deleted the Halo Wars demo from my hard drive and started playing Halo 3 again. I will certainly be passing on Halo Wars.

Man its hard listening to all the reviews for those lucky to get a hold of it early. Can you play Multi against a friend with the demo? I think it was suppose to have a map for that in this demo too.

I'm excited to get my grubby hands on it Thursday. Not really an RTS fan, but the Haloz could pull me in. That’s awesome. I’m excited to get my grubby hands on it Thursday.
