Skins, Looks, and Aesthetics

Not looking good :? .
My Biggest Complaint and Worry of the game is how it looks in-game.

Edit: It seems that the "Game Suggestions" Forum has been Glassed. Pitty. I had put ALOT of Ideas and alternatives in my topic. My topic even got 5 Stars from some of the Inhabitants of the Halowars forum. They were really good ideas.
Its a pitty I am now unable to post exactly what I said here. I am...Disappointed.

On the Up-side though,If it is indeed Moddable...I now have something that I want to Mod...Desperately.

I've been hearing it has the same map format as Halo 3 with some differences, so I wouldn't get your hopes up.

I highly doubt they would use the same map format for an entirely different game, developed by an entirely different studio, for an entirely different genera of game (RTS).

As if the map format was what's stopping modding.

Would that mean it would have the same physics?


Like in Halo 3 when a barrel rolls over would that be in halo wars.

The demo comes out later today if I'm not mistaken. So we should be able to know from that if modding will be possible or not :)

No, I know that. I meant looking through the demos files will give us an idea of how possible modding the full version will be.

I did a Covenant Vs. Covenant game last night, so I would assume Humans Vs. Humans is possible too.

I did Human vs. Human today. So yes, it's just like Starcraft.

I can't remember whether it was confirmed or not, do the flood make an appearance in Halo Wars? They were referenced in the announcement trailer.

Sorry for lurking, but I believe I can be of assistance here.

The flood have been confirmed non-playable. (I thought this was common knowledge by now)

Although, on the Multiplayer map cleansed, I believe, flood are present. Players will have to fight both the flood and each other. I can't wait for modding Halo Wars, myself, and I've been writing down some ideas. Hope more is possible than with Halo 3!

EDIT: Sorry, the map with flood on it is actually called "Release". Checked on the Demo just now >_>
