A mouse and a keyboard are better for RTS games but it can work on the controller. LOTR: BFME2 is great and controls really well. They will make it work.

I agree it is possible...But it does not play smoothly...Thats all i want..this game to play smoothly....Their are just way more buttons on a keyboard..for control groups, hero powers (if there are) anything...

Yep just like bacon said, it would be much easier to handle on a keyboard then a controller. Unless they pull something out of there butss like voice command it wont be smooth like a keyboard would.

so you play badcraft?
warcraft*? Lol.

I know, micro would be so dimmed down. I never played lotr for 360 but how do you group units? Does the game auto-macro for you or something boring like that? Imagine intense games where your marines are circling a hunter while you focus fire on it with spartans. Or you drop a group of upgraded marines behind a base while you bring in camo guys in the front as a distraction or something. And the other guy has all these scorpions and warthogs on defense and a Mac cannon or something and your moving in but you have to kill his scorpions form the air or something.

One huge question is how are they going to work teh economies? What halo unit is the "worker"? Do you mine minerals ie starcraft or money or some other currency? I can see grunts doing worker moves or maybe drones from halo 2 but could they double as attack units also? Like an upgrade or something? Who would work as unsc gatherers.

I would hate it if they did, playing with a mouse is hard for me plus I am used to the 360 controllers now.
