Halo Wars: User Created Maps?

[doobiwan]

Go figure, we didn't have a thread for this one.

Came across this today:

During our chat Devine also touched on user generated content.

”We actually talked quite a lot about that, we’ve got a very powerful map editor, so we’ve talked about whether we could release that with the game or via Xbox Live and allow people to make their own maps, and then work out a way for users to share the maps,” says Devine. “I would love for that to be in the final product. Because I think user created content is just fantastic. I think it’s absolutely the future, because people love to tell their own stories, people love to make up their own little war campaigns, and there are a lot of people out there who are incredibly talented.”


Just think, like Forge, but whole maps, not just mods! How awesome is that!

I am actually looking quite forward to this one.

RTS on console is so close, yet just not there yet, I'm really hoping this can be the standard bearers as Halo was for FPS. In that vein, I"m actually a bit sad that it's Halo Franchise, I think MS would have been a lot better off creating a new IP. If it succeeds, you have a new killer license, if it failed, well no loss.

Well based on what I have seen it looks pretty rad.
I think it will complement the FPS quite nicely. RTS dont have a habbit of flopping as badly as FPS do. I think it is the whole lie on the couch destress factor they hold.

[doobiwan]

I don't know so much, I find I get very stressed playing RTS, a lot of analysis paralysis, I completely forget my tactics and build trees.

[SlappY]

LOL... maybe I just play them all wrong.

Not a big crowd but a bunch of cool peeps none the less. Heck T2 was the first Forum I registered on when I got access to the interwebs.

Is my broadband only games related or any ole' thing?

Myb, is pretty much all tech, but there's a big gaming section as well, one for general and one for consoles.
