So if you pre order halo wars 2*ultimate edition digital from the store, you will get halo wars 1 definitive on the 20th December. It is also play anywhere, so also on windows 10

Shame that they haven't put up any gameplay videos yet, and hopefully they have smartened up the AI. Finally excited about an xbox 1 game. Hope there is new achievements as well.

That sucks but at least you noticed.

Better than me thinking my Xbox was running through a few updates last week only to find out that the external HD was full. If only they would warn you.

I remember playing a bit of the first Halo Wars but losing interest so it will be interesting to read reviews and peoples opinion of the second one to see if I want to pick it up.

I don't think my download took more than 20 mins, it was done before I went off to work. Not sure if it used the backwards compatability version I had installed or not.

Just had a quick play, first 3 missions and achievements started popping after an hour, think it was getting warmed up or maybe just an update. It*looks a bit brighter, plays smoother, no screen tearing and*the controller is more responsive than the backwards compat version.

When I first played the game, I wasn't too impressed with the missions either.*When I finally tried skirmish mode I loved the game.*Only issue was that my AI teammates were a bit of the special kind, very slow at doing anything, standing at an empty base and not taking it etc.*Hopefully there is smarter AI in the remaster.

Away to download to laptop, i7 4500, 8gb ram,*no separate graphics card. Interesting to see how it runs.
