Well well well, this is actually really ******* amazing.

I loved Halo Wars tbh, but this mod lets you take the role of either the UNSC or Covenant on a more personal level.

Models are nicely done and quite good textured and detailed accordingly to Halo Games. Gameplay wise, being a Beta this is difficult to judge, so far its fun.

I believe there should be more Land Units, playable Pelicans (I Know many fans would love that) and Falcons FTW, or Elite Ultras and Phantoms for Covies, also hero units, like (Noble Team, MCPO John 117, Sgt Johnson, Buck´s squad, maybe Blue, Gray or Red Team would be neat) For the UNSC and Covie Heroes (Idk, Rtas, Arby, Tartarus, A Prophet).

For a Beta, this mod is Quite complete.

Uhmmm, kay I´ll be sincere.

-Models look good, which is obvious since they are ported (No offense as I really love em).

-Changing the "Video" options won´t let you optmize gameplay speed, which ain´t cool for slow end pc users.

-Most Units require more unique effects, sounds, etc.

-Missing Text Strings.

Uhmkay, this Mod looks promising if they manage to get some unique effects, sounds, if they fix the missing strings and optimize it and tune it; this mod could end up beating all other EaW Halo mods out there.

So far, its on a Good Way.

It´s a Beta, so all problems may be solved in the final release.

Good Job.

1.09 Release:

As I said before, the HHF have done a superb job with the Ships, they are highly detailed (The Blast Windshield, the Marathon Hangar Animation, etc) and beautifuly textured (Seriously check the frigate textures are Awesome).

New ships where included, the new model of the Prowler (Reminiscence of the Normandy from Mass Effect), the Marathon class cruiser, the Thanatos Destroyer, et al.

Gameplay wise, it´s still a beta, however, playing with the UNSC has been so far smooth, and not buggy. The ships fill their assigned role well but until the Covenant gets release we´ll not know if this is 100% true or not.

*Sigh* I got to say this, IMO the older missile effects and sounds where better; not that the new ones are bad, they´re good, I just liked the others more.

Also the lack of some voice sounds is...disturbing.

Anyway this is a must watch mod, with a really talented group behind it.

On a side note:

-More canonical UNSC Ships classes would be neat although I don´t think they´ll implement em (Perhaps sometime later), The Sabre Fighter, The Broadsword, The (New Design) Charon Light Frigate, The ONI PRO-49776, or even Phoenix Class Colony Ship. Seeing how 343i seems to be moving towards a more stylished ship design.
