Ah, Halo Wars. The folks at Ensemble Studios have a lot to live up to in making this game. After all, they are making a Halo RTS. The jump from FPS to RTS is a big one, but there are several ways to make the transition easier. The main one is "have features from previous games." So far Ensemble appears to be doing great there, as the game has co-op, many of the familiar Halo characters and vehicles, and so forth. However, Ensemble isn't done placating the Halo masses. Through their monthly update, they have revealed another familiar Halo feature: Legendary difficulty. The game will feature the accurately-titled difficulty mode, which has claimed untold hours of peoples lives, as well as too many broken controllers to count. Apparently Halo Wars version of Legendary is no slouch.

 

"Legendary will be a challenge that will be worthy for the most experienced players."

 

So, anyone excited about the news? Or were you, like me, expecting it?

From what I know they only have co-op using system-link / LAN. I'd like a co-op on split-screen.
I have no way to play the System Link / LAN version, so playing as one player using split screen would be awesome. Since I would be able to play with my friend (Who does not have an Xbox360).

I really don't like RTS's mainly due to the fact that the coop isnt perfect (like having to form an alliance in game, rather than click a box before the game starts that says "Players Vs CPU"), and at the end after the CPU is dead you usually still have to beat each other to win. So hopefully this one will actually have a solid Co op feature, that's the Only way I'll be getting it whether by rental or purchase.
