RE:Halo Wars Co-Op Review Does this game really allow for 2 player local co-op?

RE:Halo Wars Co-Op Review No it does not. It's an RTS and would be incredibly difficult to split the screen. http://www.co-optimus.com/game/878/XBox ... _Wars.html

RE:Halo Wars Co-Op Review That's what I thought, but the little blip at the top right of this article says: Halo Wars Platform: XBox 360 2-Player Online Co-Op 2-Player Local Co-Op Got me excited for a second...

RE:Halo Wars Co-Op Review Nick, you're such a tease  Sounds good, I really liked the demo. Here's hoping I can grab someone for co-op action in May

RE:Halo Wars Co-Op Review Very fun game, even more fun just messing around vs comps doing 3v3 or 2v2. Covenant Prophet of Regret FTW!

RE:Halo Wars Co-Op Review Nick, what did you notice about the difficulty in single player vs co-op? Does it scale to change, just get incredibly easy, or somewhere in the middle?
@JG - I may rent this eventually, so if you don't get to it until May I might wait until then and co-op it with you.

RE:Halo Wars Co-Op Review From what I can tell it's the same. You still just get one army between the both of you. You just both get to manage it. Extraordinarily well done.

Re: [Review] - Halo Wars Co-Op Review @baldy
The difficulty seems about the same just in coop you are able to better address the situation as you each control the units you created, so say one guy builds up tanks and you run infantry hey can take the brunt of their force while you widdle down air/ anti vehicle with your guys.

RE:Halo Wars Co-Op Review I only played it for a few hours so far in co-op and not being a traditional RTS fan like Starcraft(Company of Heroes is just plain fun) I had a fun time, not as fun as I do when playing something like Vegas but some nice system link fun. They have a nice little story so far and cut scenes in co-op to keep you watching.

RE:Halo Wars Co-Op Review This game felt a little humdrum solo, but is really amazing on co-op, well done!

RE:Halo Wars Co-Op Review I love this game. Don't have it, but rented. I'm just blown away. The score is correct to me.
