Let me know how good it is - as a Halo fan and a Red Alert fan it could be interesting!

I think it's pretty good. Haven't played this type of game for years, will be getting it.

pity it only xbox and not pc

Its not actually THAT good imo. Limited units available though. Battlefields seem quite small, no where like the Halo universe that are massive!

I played through the whole demo last night.

Being a bit of a fan of the Red Alert/Command and Conquer series on the PC it isn't as complicated, and I was left feeling it to be a bit more, well, arcadey I guess if that can be applied to this sort of game.

It was mildly interesting doing the campaign, but I enjoyed skirmish more - if I get this game it will be liekly I spend most of my time, and get most of my enjoyment from, taking on other human beings in multiplayer.

The control set up I found pretty okay, this has tended to be one of the main challenges of RTS on consoles.
