"A reasonable complex RTS is not doable with a pad as the control method."

Why? The mouse movement can be mapped to one thumbstick and the two mice buttons to clicking down each thumbstick. That leaves you (on the 360 pad) with 4 Dpad directions, another thumbstick, start, back, x, y, b, a, lb, rb, left trigger and right trigger for hotkeys - and that's without any combinations such as holding a trigger first before pressing a button.

Face it: it works with BFME2 and could work with a more complex game.

jlaakso, Advance Wars is turn-based, that's a different matter.

Barely so, from forum reports. And that's already a seriously simplified game. Which is exactly what I am afraid will happen - RTS games will get simplified to also work on pads.

Anyway, I am not saying it's impossible, or maybe alternative control methods will be found. I was initially just respoding to your post where you asked why PC gamers don't want to see RTS games on consoles - because we fear simplification, and compromising.

I just wish MS would bring out a mouse and keyboard for the 360. If my 360 could play a Total war game I could give up upgrading my PC.

With the USB ports, it should be very easy....

A nice official wireless set would be nice, but I am wondering if MS are worried about effecting the PC market too much with such a release.
