6. Which of the following are defining features of Universe at War?

1. The first ever Xbox 360/PC cross-platform RTS
2. Tactical dynamics create the best RTS until Starcraft 2.
3. Truly unique factions and customization
4. Free one-month Games for Windows LIVE Gold subscription
5. All of the above
6. None of the above

Could this be an unintentional sign given by Microsoft that the long awaited Starcraft 2 will be coming to Xbox 360? As some might remember, Blizzard allowed ports of Starcraft to both the Nintendo 64 and the Playstation. Ports of recent PC RTCs have come to 360 such as Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth 2, and Command and Conquer 3. Both have been received well by console gamers because of their impressive control schemes, previously a massive hurdle to jump for previous RTS console ports. Whether this is simply a misunderstanding or not, this is an exciting rumor nonetheless.

ABUSEDGOAT WHERE ARE YOU? What do you all think?

RTS on a controller would not work. But I suppose you could plug in a keyboard to the 360 or somin...

There are other RTS games on the 360 I believe. Sure as hell know there were RTS for other consoles. It worked.

I know there are others, but my point stays the same no matter what game. The fact of the matter is there is much more you can do on a keyboard than with a controller. Also, a mouse will allow you to scroll much faster than with the joysticks on your controller. I just don't see any RTS game working well on a console compared to on a computer, and it would seem like a dumb thing to port one to a console if it's already on a computer because of that fact. If people do buy it for the console, well then I feel bad for them because they made a horrible choice.

Cool idea, but you can't play RTS on console. There's a billion hotkeys for games like that, the 10 buttons on a controller do not come close to being enough. Whether you're making guys, queuing up commands, hotkeying a part of the map, grouping guys, spells/skills, attacking, whatever, a controller won't get it done. If it does, the game is limited and bad. You also really need a mouse to move from one area to another quickly. I will buy for PC though, no question. If they offer an xbox mouse/keyboard I see no point, it'll be better on PC anyway. Battlenet features > XBL features and is free for everything but WOW. The only place XBL dominates right now is easy voice communication... but that's what Ventrilo is for.

I don't think I'll ever buy RTS for console, even if it's SC2.

I don't know anything about this but I do know that you can use just a standard USB keyboard for the 360. I use one all the time to send text messages or write up description of files on my fileshare.

What he is saying is that the people playing console against the PC users are going to get rocked. Mouse/Keyboard have a HUUUUGE advantage over them... But it is a great idea to put it to the Console some people don't have they PC power to run this game maybe.. and now this allows them to.. All you have to do is buy a keyboard/mouse and i see it being better.. get a Bigger screen on console =0.. For me anyways you do.
