Dave Pottingner about campaign covenant colors

I gotta admit though that Dave is a friendly chap.

For the minimap use halo motion tracker colors Red for enemies and yellow for allies, halo players would regonize it and RTS players would adapt. on the feild unit visibility should not be a problem, hell i can see enemy stealthed units in starcraft fine, is a winter camoflauge warthog to much to ask?

Other RTS players wouldn't need to adapt. That's general team colors for almost every game (though blue and green are often substituted). Even AoE, Ensembles own game, had the capability to use that system.

It's a better answer than we've been getting... but it sounds like they're going to far. A few gamers got confused? They didn't even release it to the public! They're just being lazy... Let a player play through 10 games, they'll be sure to learn by then. If not, they're probably not old enough to play on anything above normal, meaning it won't really matter if they have to take an extra five seconds to identify a marine.

Not the Jackals.

In any case, they could have had the Jackals get KILLED by the infection forms. They just didn't devote enough thinking time to this game.

Going to see if Graeme is as friendly, but I might send Pottinger a PM.

Ask about the Pillar of Autumn.

Dave is rather friendly.

Don't know about Devine.

I'm sure he love the question about the PoA.

You must remember that Halo Wars was marketed at more casual RTS folk (or in the gaming industry apparently... idiots)

OK, people, let's not swarm the two guys with PMs. Let's post what we want to ask, and we'll consolidate it into two PMs.

What he said ^
It's great to finally have such a chance, let's not scare them off.

I get to do the one for Graeme!

why not felix aren't they homeboys or something. I mean they did actualy meet

Hmm...

Well, I'll start thinking of questions.

Why did you decide to put the Flood in?

Why did you put the Pillar of Autumn in?

What was your inspiration for the names?

How did the cat get pregnant? :suspect:

Sorry 'bout that.
