Will the legendary Halo universe be as appealing under the guise of a real-time strategy title rather than donning its customary first-person shooter veil?

Ive seen the screen shots, looked at the vid, read about it being the most downloaded demo of all time, but im still unsure about a RTS on a console. Anyone played it or the demo?

Thoughts on how it goes?

I downloaded it last week, played for a few hours but im not so sure. Its OK but it just seems a bit strange from the whole "halo" aspect, spartans die quite quickly so maybe just a balance change needs to come in place. Graphically im expecting it to be quite poor, you cant zoom in and so its look ok (compare to dow2 is crap though), bit laggy in some places but it works better than most with the 360 controller albeit i prefer pc all the way. I think its a game thats hit and miss, i dont think i will get it as i have dow2 which seems more indepth and there are quite a few new games out recently which is annoying as i have little time to play them!. If theres a certain thing you want me to look at within the demo just ask as ill look for it .
