Re: Why can't Halo Wars be on the PC too?

In Response To: Re: Why can't Halo Wars be on the PC too? (FyreWulff) : Uh, Halo Wars has this. No, it doesn't. : You can quickly select all units of a single type : with a trigger, which is what I do with control groups in RTSes anyway.. Yes. That's equivalent to double-clicking all the Marines on the screen and sending them all at the enemy base at the same time. Spamming. Not micromanaging. : so I can hotkey all of a single unit. That's. Not. Hotkeying. Hotkeying is the ability to group units so that you can select a particular group at the press of a button. For example, creating three groups of Warthogs and Hornets so you can be more proactive in a battle, as opposed to just 'A-clicking' your units across the map or ordering them to gang up on the uber-units. : Micromanagement in Wars also already exists. No. It doesn't. : APM spamming would be useless for the way the game is designed. True. It seems that ES realized that their controls precluded meaningful levels of micromanagement, and instead made each individual unit's ability so weak as to be useless individually. Except for the Grizzlies.
