Looks nice. I'm not really into the RTS games, but I might give this a shot.

Know what I can't wait about this game? Every Halo fanboy* is going to get it at first, and having no experience with RTS, is going to suck. Thus, I, and other people experienced with RTS, will clean up.
Then the fanboys will trade it in, leaving the diehards to play.
On another note, did anyone else play Battle for Middle Earth 2? I loved it, and the controls were great. Not as fast as K+M, but I could move around pretty quickly.

Never underestimate a Halo fanboy, they are obsessive beings who look to control anything related Hal0z

BFMEII was awesome. I just played it again a few weeks ago to get the Secret Fire achievement. So good.

The crater is shot 3 is particularly good.

I'm still looking forward to it but I really can't wait to read impressions at E3 about the controls. As much as they said it was a new way to show RTS could work on a console it still looked a lot like every other control scheme currently used.

Let me correct the picture statement:
"Dustin in love"
To quote a scholar; "This game would have to teleport whores into my room to make me care"

I hope that this game actually brings people in the RTS genre. 360 just has way too many FPS's. Need more variety.

Is there going to be a Covenant campaign?

I hope that under settings there will be an SD verse HD view choice. It would alter how big the individual units look in comparison to the environment. That way you could zoom out but still see what's going on while playing on an SDTV.
