"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something, but I can't accept not trying." - M. Jordan

I don't know if I'm more excited about Halo Wars or Halo 3. I'm still confused, will Halo Wars be a FPS that allows you to have strategy, or is going to be a trypical strategy game like on PCs???

I am so impressed by the trailer.

Bungie, you are truly great. I'm going to rush out and buy a 360 as soon as possible now. I just realized how far behind I am on the Halo universe. I have to replay Halo and Halo 2 on legendary, read the 4 Halo novels, read the graphic novel and buy a 360. This is just truly fantastic. I bet everyone at the Bungie office walks around going- "I am a genius."

Hey I was trying to create an account on the Halowars forums, but I always get "The page cannot be displayed". Does anyone else have this problem?

"That's about all that can be said for plots, which anyway are just one thing after another, a what and a what and a what.

Now try how and why."

I may be the only critical person here.

I know its not my place to tell bungie what they can and can't do, but franchising any series will eventually water it down. Bungie has sold out before, and I'm starting to see a pattern here. But, who gives a -blam!- what I think? Certainly not bungie.

Qoute: "Oh man...

Well now I understand now why the HaloGen mod for C&C Generals was shut down. M$ probably saw all the community support and anticipation that it was getting so they probably decided that they could make money off of doing the same thing (only crappier), and shutting down the "competition" (Halo fans making a great mod for the sole love of the Halo universe, while not taking a dime for themselves). If you aren't familiar with HaloGen, or you think I'm making this up, you can see the official statement from the mod team here: Old Halogen Site Good going M$, way to go.

I hate to be a downer guys, but it looks like the Ensemble guys are letting us down. You would think that if they really were true hardcore Halo fans then they would at least try to stay true to the look and feel of Bungie's vision of the Halo universe.

Those Elites? They looked like some kind of monster right out of Unreal Tournament 2005. In my opinion, Bungie's vision for the Elites in Halo displays them as, well, Elites. Elite in the sense that they are the ultimate killing machine. They are proficient in weaponry and tactics, they are a force to be feared, but at the same time they are a force to be respected. Their demeanor commands respect, they are not monsters, but fearsome, efficient soldiers. Ensemble's poor interpretation of this has them displayed as big bulky monsters, not the efficient soldiers that they are in the true Halo games.

While I have wanted to see Halo make an appearance in the RTS genre ever since it was released, I fear for this. Please don't ruin the Halo name Ensemble. Please don't disappoint me.

As for Peter Jackson's new deal with Bungie, that sounds interesting, but we'll have to wait and see untill we have more info."
I messed up the quote, sorry.

Wow, I was totally insanely happy until I read this post. This guy is 100% completely right though. I am so happy that we get more Halo, but please don't mess this up Ensemble. If it doesn't feel like Halo, then just don't force it. There is plenty of time for refinement and I'm still happy to see the story continue. However, as true fans, we should stay optimistically cautious of this new interpretation. Anyway, it still looks awesome and I can't wait to get more info.

Thats exactly what I've been planing on doing. I bought the origional xbox when it first came out in November of 2001 for $300. The 360 is great but there are not any "must have" games out at the moment. But I think I'll pick one up when Gears of War is released or there is a price-drop. $400 is alot.

Sorry for typos and poor grammar in my posts. I try to spend as little time in here as possible.

I really do like Halo, this is all too much and my head is going to explode. 2 new books, 2 new projects, a film and Halo 3 . . phew. I wonder just how long it is before the nutters that live and breath halo begin to pull the universe apart bit by bit and start to make a mockery of the series . . . i hope they dont. If Halo 3 is to be the last game from bungie, i hope to god they dont sell the rights to it and then it gets totally under developed and variations released every 6 months, the series will certrainly lose all its gold, like all the other over produced titles.

Bungie need to kill everyone now and make a mmorpg and get the same sort of success and extended coverage that WOW gets. God i love this game.

Wow talk about a rip off of Halogen, way to go microsoft. Looks like blindwolf343 is the only other guy who cought this one. My respect for Bungie is now about as low as it is for EA.

So I think Jun's a master chef, because he takes off his helmet and your like whoa, I think he's a chef.
