As if the Peter Jackson partnership wasn't cool enough for Halo fans, there's more to be excited about in the form of the just announced Halo RTS game being developed by Ensemble Studios. "Halo Wars" is a brand new saga in the Halo Universe that explores the time of first contact between the UNSC and Covenant Forces. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to control dozens of Warthogs and Scorpion tanks instead of just a single vehicle, your time has finally come.

This would be awesome if I liked RTSes.

I guess I'll be trying it anyways.

^ Same feeling. I have tried to make myself enjoy the genre but to no avail.

If it's anything like WarCraft 3, I'm all aboard.

When it comes to RTS, Ensemble Studios is about the best if not THE best developer you can hope for. If I had an Xbox360, I'd be extremely excited. I hope this game comes out for PC.

If this is the time of contact why are all the spartans holding battle rifles? give me the classic assault rifle any day.

IN-GAME FOOTAGE!

Is that really in game footage? Because..granted, 360 can do some nice graphics but I think thats all pre-rendered. Of course, I could be wrong

But RTS's on a console don't always work out th ebest with a controller. Then again, maybe with how Battle for Middle Earth 2 came out on the 360, that it could work well again for this one. I may try the demo whenever its released to see how it is.

Meh, RTS games aren't my bag, but this is halo so....

That vid looks like a lot of CGI rather than in-game stuff

Dyne · 10-02-2006, 06:32 PM

I will eat my hat if that's in-game. It's way too planned and cinematic to be footage.

Bond · 10-02-2006, 06:49 PM

It's most likely using the in-game graphics engine as the Halo 3 trailer did.

Vampyr · 10-06-2006, 01:55 AM

I absolutely love tactical games.

I like Halo.

So, if we average that,

Love + Like
------------------ = Will defiantly enjoy this game.
