Halo Wars could get user generated content and map editor

[Zeus]

In a recent interview the Lead Designer on Halo Wars, Graeme Devine, recently said he would love to include a map editor and user generated content in the game.


”We actually talked quite a lot about that, we’ve got a very powerful map editor, so we’ve talked about whether we could release that with the game or via Xbox Live and allow people to make their own maps, and then work out a way for users to share the maps,” says Devine. “I would love for that to be in the final product. Because I think user created content is just fantastic. I think it’s absolutely the future, because people love to tell their own stories, people love to make up their own little war campaigns, and there are a lot of people out there who are incredibly talented.”

Big deal. They're just leeching off of the overhyped bs that is Halo.

You mean fantastic overhyped bs?

This game should be good if STORY is the main issue, not fancy post processing effects and pretty models and fancy multiplayer, I haven't had any luck in the last few years with games (that are not RPGs) with good stories, the last one with a decent story was Halo 1.

Brign? shoulbe? Damn its hard reading your post but anyway..

The whole point of this game is hat its meant to be played on a 360. It was developed for the 360 and they have worked constant on making sure this is the first decent console real time strategy game. People may not buy 360's for a RTS but however they may want one or indeed love one on it. RTS's can be played without a keyboard and mouse and this game should hopefully prove it!
