Going back what it was post to be.
This is a fun game and all. But the thing is. I was hopeing for singale player expassion pak. But at this time. It only for multiplayer. But I hope it change in the futuer. If you are in to RTS. This a game for you. But also you need to have a taest of alot multiplayer. And alot less of singal player action.

Halo Wars Needs more credit than it deserves
I've gotten halo wars for a week now and it is fantastic. Yeah, it is a tactical game and kind of command and conqeur and its not a first person shooter but that's what makes it interesting. I think it is an amazing seqeul to the Halo trilogies and i think it represents the game well. The controls are easy to grasp and a wide variety of soldiers and infantry which makes it better. In the new skrimish matches you can choose from either the UNSC or the Covenant and 3 additional leaders for each race. Overall this is one of the best games I've bought and it is worth it.

Lets Go UNSC Lets Go!!!!
I recently bought Halo Wars and i loved it! First of all I am a huge fan of RTS games and when i played halo wars it had everything you would want for a halo type RTS i love playing against my friends. But there is only one thing I'm not happy about, you cant play as the covenant in campaign also the maps are really small. I think Ensemble Studios should come out with a sequel updating everything from Halo Wars. But over all the game is great amazing graphics and great audio. Though before it came out i was worried that with out the mouse how could you play an RTS game on the 360 but since I've played its even easier then using a mouse.
