Halo Wars

Halo Wars will continue the epic saga of the Halo universe as the first Halo real-time strategy game.

Q: What is ?Halo Wars??
A: ?Halo Wars? is the next big real-time strategy game from Ensemble Studios, creators of Age of Empires. Designed exclusively for the Xbox 360, ?Halo Wars? allows you to take charge of the human UNSC armies and see the Halo universe from a totally new perspective.

Q: Where does ?Halo Wars? take place in the Halo timeline?
A: ?Halo Wars? takes place before Halo 1 during the UNSC?s first deadly encounters with the Covenant.

Q: Can you reveal anything about ?Halo Wars? storyline?
A: Players will lead the crew of the UNSC?s ?Spirit of Fire? from initial skirmishes to an all out war against the evil Covenant.

Q: Will I be able to play as the Covenant?
A: Stay tuned.

Q: Why is ?Halo? being made into an RTS game?
A: Warthogs are cool. Scorpions are cool. Controlling lots of Warthogs and Scorpions and sending them into battle is really, really cool.
We?ve been big fans of Halo for years at Ensemble Studios, and when we sat down to discuss our next project we thought Halo would be absolutely perfect as an RTS on the Xbox 360.

Q: When will ?Halo Wars? be available?
A: Stay tuned.

Q: Will I be able to play Halo Wars on Xbox 360 and PC?
A: Halo Wars is for the Xbox 360 exclusively.

Q: Is the trailer pre-rendered?
A: Yes, and it's based around our world concepts and uses lots of in-game models. The sound and music were done at Ensemble Studios as well. Props to our friends at Blur for bringing it all together and making it really shine.

Q: Other RTS games that have transitioned to console have had issues with controls, how will ?Halo Wars? improve on the formula?
A: ?Halo Wars? was created for the Xbox 360 from the ground up, which meant we didn't have to make compromises or shoe-horn in artifacts from a Windows PC game. We were able to take all the best aspects of RTS games, make them work perfectly on the Xbox 360, and exclude the rest.

Q: Where can I learn more about other Halo games?
A: Our friends at Bungie, the creators of the Halo Universe, have lots of information about Halo. Check them out here: www.bungie.net.

Halo wars is NOT the conclusion to the Halo Trilogy. Halo 3 is. Halo Wars isn't even made by Bungie! Halo wars is where you make troops, send them out, and watch them fight. I heard that this game *MIGHT* allow you going into FPS and fighting the enemy yourself. I don't know if this is true or not. Well, I hope that cleared things out for some of you. This game is going to be sweet! There are no questions about it, people will buy it because of Halo but love it even more because people might want to actually be marines and not the all powerfull undestructuble mastercheif? It gives the game a new... twist.think halo wars is gonna be awesome! I've played the first two and im dying to see what halo will look like on the 360.Halo 1 started you off in the middle of an allout war between the UNSC and the covenant,they didnt really explain how the war started. And i was kind of wondering how the the war started. Did the UNSC just decide they hate the covenant or did the covenant fire the first shot? So im interested to find out how it all started! The graphics are gonna be great because if you look at how good they were on the original xbox and figure that the graphics will be even better because of the next-gen xbox, just imagine how good they will be on the 360!

I want HALO WARS so badly!
 
OMG, I saw some adds for this in one of my freinds mags. I WANT IT!!!!!!!

The detail seems quite decent, and since its available on the 360', Im going to be able to use. (My PC doesn't really like high quality games like this).

As far as I know, theres every single race, weapon and location available, but I could be incorrect on the location source. Just picture it. "Your playing as the UNSF, Covenant are raging towards you from all sides, there is no escape, your only hope is to get your dropships to your squad to save them and get them back to your home base (highly secured and powerful of cource). Their only chance of survival. Send in the MJOLNIRS!!!!!" (did I spell that right?).
  As far as I know, you can get Spartans!!!!!!! OH YEA!!!!!!! And I also think, though this is likely also untrue, that you can choose what to equip to them. HELL F******* YEAH!!!!!!

-edit-
had to correct myself. Its not the UNDF, its the UNSF (United Nations Space Federation.... or is Force?)

I'm not quite sure where you're getting this information, but as far as I know, there's about as much info on Halo Wars as there is water in the Sahara Desert. :D

There isn't much more info on the official site than the OP quoted in the first post. In fact, I just searched for the game on bungie's website and found nothing. I had to google halo wars to get the official site. 8)

Its supposed to come later for the PC but it is going to start off on the 360. :)
 
Meh. It'll probably take that long too. Thats the problem. Oh well. I'm not bothered. So long as it's on the 360' and I can get my hands on it, I'll be happy. And so will many others. :D
 
Nah, halo wars won't take too long to make. They don't have anything to really live up to like Halo 2. It's jus gonna be a standard RTS game and you don't even get to play as any spartans. I might rent it, but that's about it.

Actually you can control entire squads of SPARTANS. Remember this takes place before almost all were killed at Reach. And we weren't talking about how long it would take to make. We were talking about how long it would take to be ported to P.C. Also, considering the the developers of this game will be the people who created age of empires (the second age of empires is considered one of the best RTS's of all time), they have plenty to live up to. 8)
