CES09: Halo Wars + Red Ring = Fail

Gamertag Radio reports "So were checking out the gameplay of Halo Wars. Now, I'm not a RTS fan but the chance to control all aspects of the field was pretty interesting.

Then, as the title of this article says, the inevitable happens. Yes, Microsoft's brand new addition to the Halo series suffers from another RROD error. From what I understand, since its only a 2 light error, it is most likely an overheating issue. Yes, its a Dev kit and the display was probably not allowing enough cool air to pass through to the console, but c'mon MS! This is the next step for your flagship title at CES???"

Damn Xbox 360 hardware sucks lol.

lolololololllloooololololol.ll loololooollolllllllllloooool

Tarasque5586d ago

Funny when you buy Halo Wars you also get what they quote "As a free RROD expansion"

BattleAxe5586d ago

It seems like MS has a console that Red Rings at every major event. The failure rate is probably much higher then 33%.

Shadow Flare5586d ago

Anybody who defends this crap console needs to wake the f@ck up

pain777pas5585d ago

Get real though people everyone with a 360has faced this face it. I haven't heard of one person that this did not happen to. The failure rate is probably 100% its just a matter of time and I got my 360 when it was $400 and came with graw and arcade games same day took home RR6 and nba 2k7 little over 8months later months later RROD. 3weeks till I got it back gave to my girl got a used PS3 and called it a day on M$ you'll not fool me again maybe nextgen.

lmfao

i feel my loud azz engine about to take off 360 is some what safe from rrod. the current fan and its previous bake fix seem to be running very well.

but this is proof that the new 360's are rrod prone still.. microsoft wouldnt use old 360's for demos at ces.

the beta testing continues..

the 360 = windows vista

the new xbox to come = windows 7

shelbygt335587d ago

2 red lights does not equal RROD.

Please read the article prior to posting.

f7897905586d ago

Microsoft's still not giving display consoles enough ventilation. Sure its not RROD but they are still letting the consoles overheat. I mean you see a problem and you fix it, not continue to do the same thing over again.

shelbygt335586d ago

I never disagreed that it still looks bad, simply letting the poster know his assumption was incorrect that 2 red lights = RROD.

Sibs5585d ago

Yes, but overheating directly causes RRoD (fried components)

The Halo Wars Formula Has Potential to Fit More Microsoft Franchises

Halo Wars is still widely considered one of the best and most accessible RTS games around, and that formula could work with other Microsoft IPs.

I think Crackdown would fit in a more turn-based tactics system via Xcom then a RTS type game play. Being able to customize multiple agents, deploying that group in an crime infested urban zone, going against other super powered enemy and fodder type thugs. The potential for that is huge if they won't do another successful, ground breaking, GOTY open world outing like Crackdown 3....

P_Bomb410d ago

I could see that. I feel like State of Decay could spin-off into something strategic as well.

giovonni409d ago

Actually that would be kind of fly if they made it a turn base RTS.

lellkay46d ago

Crackdown tactics would be legit!!

10 Best Halo Games

NoobFeed Editor Joshua Burt writes - There are many games in the famous Halo Franchise that are stellar titles and need to be revered. And some that do not. These games stand out from the crowd and deluge of colossal Halo titles. Games that made Halo great. We do need to iron out what qualifies the game for this list. They have to be in the Halo franchise… Obviously.

Halo CE over Halo Infinite anyday

Not to mention the impact it had at the time

Flawlessmic719d ago

Halo 3 at the top is correct the only thing id change is swap infinite and halo ce around.

AuraAbjure719d ago

Halo 4 best campaign and multiplayer. Halo 3 best story.

ChubbyBlade718d ago

Are you trying to give people cancer?

AuraAbjure718d ago (Edited 718d ago )

Halo 4 has the hottest Cortana too which explains why the MC is the hardest in that campaign and why H4's multiplayer is the illest. Chief ain't afraid to take on teleporting enemies that can one hit melee kill.

I feel like I see these articles often. Either way, just going by main titles as a whole package not just on MP I’d say;
Best 2,3,1,4,5 worst.
Story only;
Best 1,2,3,4,5 worst.
MP only
Best 2,3,5,1,4 worst.

Popsicle995d ago (Edited 995d ago )

Great list Deathdeliverer! The only place we differ is that I would put Halo 3 MP over Halo 2 MP, but gaming preferences are subjective and there are really no right or wrong answers. We match exactly on everything else. And yes, these list are made all the time, but they still get me to click on them. Lol!

Deathdeliverer995d ago

I was really torn between the two so I’ll call it a toss up. They are head and shoulders above the other Halo Mps. It’s Halo 2/3 (in any order) then a pause, then the rest.
