    Its the only way they can make money off of a used version. They probably got it from the seller for $10.

    I once sold a unopened copy of Need for Speed Carbon for Gamecube to PlayNTrade and only got $4 for it.

    They thought it was awesome how it wasn't even opened that they put it up on their wall of awesome. XD

    but they were cheaper than Gamestop. And they let you play the full game in the store before you bought it. My friends and I would just go in there during lunch to play some Halo. :D

    I got it for $80 at launch, which included the limited edition box, comic, and the halo 3 map pack 2 weeks before release. It also included 2 unique in game units and allowed me to support ensemble studios last game.

    It sucked as a RTS anyway. who likes 5 hour matches that are stuck in a stand off. One guy attacks, and destroy both armies, then its a race to rearm and do it again... :thumbdown:

    I need keys man. and the mouse is easier to move and select things. But if possible, I would definitely play against you on your xbox and on my pc.... :drinks:

    The only "quote" RTS I've played was the original Red Alert before it got all 3D and ugly.


    I found a picture of it.

    Most RTSs these day I think are soo complicated until you've played a days worth of gaming. Anyone can play the original Red Alert and be an experienced player in 10 minutes.

    I would love to, but buying the game retail doesn't help the devs as much as you would think. I'm too tired to find it atm, but OXM had an interesting pie graph of where you $60 (or w/e) goes. Google it up.

    I liked it D:

    I agree with the mouse and keyboard, but C&C4 was an ABOMINATION!!!! The game took the original C&C formula and threw it right out the damn window. I played it for the campaign, then uninstalled it, and played Starcraft II ;)

    Right dpad toggles base views, down dpad toggles squads, up dpad selects covie leader. Holding left trigger doubles your move speed.
