Get Marathon Here
Get Marathon 2 and Infinity Here

"Caputofish -- Are You Man Enough?"

did you guys steal these modders idea for the rts?--------

The story so far: for three years, a group of eight modders came together to create Halogen, a C&C: Generals mod based on Halo. The mod gained popularity, and just recently Microsoft and Bungie decided to shut the mod down -- a decision that is very much in their right, as explained by this forum post. However, as the mod would neither be detrimental to the Halo image (it was very well made, as the images show) nor profitable for the team, why is Microsoft serving a cease-and-desist now?

1UP's Luke Smith puts on his tinfoil hat and speculates that Bungie might be returning to the real-time strategy genre. If memory recalls, Bungie's first post-Marathon title was the 3D strategy title Myth: The Fallen Lords. And Halo was originally going to be a strategy game, as revealed on the Halo 2 Limited Edition DVD. Smith connects a few key Bungie members to Texas-based Ensemble Studios (Age of Empires) and concludes that they might be working together.

It's all massive speculation, although more Halo titles seem very likely. As an RTS, though? We'll hold our breath, hoping Bungie can break us from our real-time cynicism; in the meantime, mourn the passing of Halogen with a trailer for the mod, embedded after the break.

WoW but a few things if it's before halo 1 then y are the battle rifles in the trailer y are there Spartans with Mark VI armor i'm just wondering besides that looks great

Alright, their is a couple of things to take into consideration. Like their armor. Their armor doesn't look exactly same. So their for that must not be the Mark VI armor. Another thing, the battle rifle might not have always been new. Maybe master chief didn't know about the battle rifle until we met up with him in halo 2. One more thing. This is just an annoucement trailer. Stuff might be off a little.

Anyways, thanks for the trailer bungie.

Oh my daer God! This literally got to be the best RTS game i've ever seen in my whole entire life...but to get to the talking it is very good because it adds to the Whole Halo Sci-Fi Universe...But again the game is godly. I wonder if Bungie will make its own Forum chat?

okay, im not saying that this dosent look amazing.. but i think they should at least tone down the elites a bit. having them all bulked up for a prequel just seems kinda odd, since they're not as big in the later games. but it could just be different amor to keep them warm in the cold.. but i do think they looked absolutely amazing. other than that little thing, i think its going to be an amazing game! if anyone else agrees with me about the elites, let me know, because from what i read on others posts im the only one.


Nah dude. The Elites look amazing. The point is to make the Elites look scary. I mean its an alien race. In the past games, I havent really found the Elite to be very intimidating. However, this trailer has totally made them looks meaner and bad to the bone. The growl the Elite made when he picked up the human. Very intimidating..

yea i totally agree they look amazing and definitely more intimidating which is a definite plus. but i was just kinda thinking like, if theyre all big and beastly in the prequel why wouldnt they be the same, if not better later on in the story? thats all. but yea overall i do hope they keep that design because its pretty kick ass.

OK, yes, it is very true that I'm a dumb ass. I'm not denying that. However, isn't the whole point of a beta to increase the amount of users until you get someone dumb enough to try something you haven't anticipated.

I think I wet my pants...

THAT TRAILER WAS KICK ASS!! This game will be killer, even if I suck at RTS.

P.S. Anyone else notice the alien engineer and another (secret) race in one of the images? I also saw duel swords :)

Bungie has announced two new projects today at X06. The first is a partnership with Peter Jackson and his talented crew to bring you another chapter in the Halo Universe. The second is Halo Wars, a real-time strategy game being developed by Ensemble Studios. Get the scoop in the full story.

Well, I have been waiting since Halo 2 came out for a halo RTS, and now i have a big question: WILL HALO WARS COME OUT FOR PC???
