I dunno... battle for middle earth 2 on the 360 is not only functional but pretty freaking amazing, so I'm not at all worried about there not being a pc version of halo wars.

The cinematic trailer for Halo Wars.. it doesn't.. feel the same as the Haloverse.

Bungie should do the cinematics. :)

$20 says PC gamers get screwed with HaloWars. Just like Halo PC. And Halo 2 Vista.

Looks amazing... but it's pretty lame that they shut down HaloGen. Two years or so of work down the drain, thats a great way to treat a fan. I'd be pretty pissed.

the Halo Wars trialer looked better than the halo 3 trailer, and I am very impressed that Peter Jackson is going to be involved in making another chapter to the haloverse that story will certainly be EPIC yeah I said it EPIC!!!!!!!!

Okay... This is like the time Lord of The Rings made Battle for Middle Earth (that command whole battles using the characters, and creatures of the movie, which was completely sweet!) This is gonna be awesome!

Ok, this looks sick. If the graphics are half of that seen in the high res trailer I'll cry. Multiple spartans are r4pe. The terrain looks sick for battlefield style play. I cannot wait for this one.

Now we have a Halo novel, a Halo movie, Halo 2 Vista, Halo 3, and now Halo Wars to look forward to. That's like 5 Halos.

Thank. You. Bungie.

Not so sure it will be any good. Halo isnt a RTS game. It'll never be the same for me........

Halo Wars is gonna be sweet. Gives a new twist to the halo 1/2/3 gameplay. Allows a whole lot larger scale.

Bungie's initial plan was to make it an RTS game, as Frankie said. I've been wishing for a Halo RTS since Halo: CE. I'm glad they chose they Age of Empire guys...'cause they know RTS.

Halo Wars? Is that why Halo Gen was destroyed?

Probably. You can't blame Microsoft, it's in their best interest to protect their IP and make some money off of the property they own. Plus, it'll probably turn out better for the gamer. Most of the stuff the Halogen guys were using is all original stuff, so they can move ahead on their own sci-fi IP.

"This is Spartan group Omega. If they want war. We'll give 'em war."

You know, this makes me think another thing. I somehow got the impression this is one of the first Human Covenant encounters. There are a few things that lead me to this, even though they are flimsy.

One. The way that the Elite looks at the Marine, as if he is analysing it for the first time.
Two. What the Spartan says "if they want War, we'll give them war". It seems like a prett dumb thing to say if you're already in the middle of a war.

So, if this is one of the first encounters, then why are there Spartans? They had absolutely no involvement with the Covenant until way after the first few engagements. They were still blowing up Asteroid Cities.

Hmm. Whatever, just random speculation. IM GONNA WATCH IT AGAIN!!

Halo, As an RTS?

As long as its still halo by the time it's finished, it's fine by me.

Flame Sama's Portal. Home of the anti-emo teenage writer/gamer Flame Sama, stop by and read some time.

By the way, my gamertag is really 'Flame Sama'.

This account is inactive-it's a relic of a former time for Bungie.net, back when groups were riding high prior to the release Halo 3.

ZOMGOMGROFLCOPTER !

Halo Wars looks kickass !!!
