So far we haven't seen anything else other than a pre-rendered trailer. Let's wait and see what the in-game engine looks like.

The thought had crossed my mind that Microsoft would have a Halo-based RTS game in the pipeline, and that is the obvious reason why they put the brakes on the Halogen Project - just not that they'd announce their own RTS so soon.

AMAZING. The trailer looks very promising, hopefully it will deliever. In all honestly, I dont think we should be dissapointed about not Halo 3 info. We just got handed a better gift...we can now ask for info on three awesome games. Plus, wouldnt you rather be surprised by Halo 3's features?

In case you were unaware, Halo was being developed as an RTS prior to becoming an FPS. The concept of Halo as an RTS has always been our original idea. What happened with Halogen was unfortunate, but when you use intellectual property that does not belong to you, that's a risk you take. Yes i understand that, ive seen the old trailers of pre-halo CE and everything. What im trying to say is that bungie strayed away from the idea of a Halo RTS, and right as halogen begins to come to a finished product bungie decides to re-use an old idea? Come on you can't blame me for being a little suspicious. Everything is very strikingly similar, not just the fact that it's a Halo RTS. If Bungie and/or microsoft had been developing the Halo RTS as a seperate entity for the xbox 360 before Halogen was created, then why would they let halogen even start work on their project? And if the Halo wars idea came after Halogen then it's hard to think of it as original. Either way im sure that Halo wars(please PLEASE change that name) will be exelent. I haven't played age of empires or anything, but im sure that ensemble will have plenty of recources to make a great game.

I guess everyone missed the possible Halo 3 tidbit in this update.

"as we complete our scheduled MARCH to finish and release Halo 3 in 2007."

Interesting choice of words KPaul.

Bungie stop allowing all this Halo -blam!-. I Just want Halo 3 and everything else is over. I'm a big Bungie fanboy, believe me, but, all this Halo stuff I'm going to dish out more money then ever. I've grown quite tired of Halo and I just want something new that dosen't have anything to do with Halo. I would recommend you guys put Myth on the XBox Live Aracde then Halo Wars.

I don't know if anyone else knows this but there was a projects in place called "Halogen" by slipstream productions. It was a mod for the popular RTS command and conquer generals.


I don't know if you know about this but there was once a project called Halo that was an RTS.

The Halogen guys were fools for thinking it was a good idea to use someone else's IP for their project. Every single time someone does this they get stomped on. It was insanely foolish of them.

"Don't use the caps lock to run and never leave a single bob alive"

Woohoo! I have always thought that since halo has built itself up so well that an RTS would be a perfect addition to the series. Awesome....... just awesome. W00T!

Come on... Bungie can't even use the word "march" in their updates now? I'm pretty sure they said "may" before as well.

lol me too. I still think it will be released in november 07 though.

Otherwise, i dont care if thats pre-rendered or not, thats amazing. And the images of the spartans and elites are the sweetest desktops ever. If Halo 3 cut scenes and trailers looking like that, i would die. But im not a big RTS guy so i wont even be playing Halo Wars

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

So to shorten this up, Jun is master chef.

OMFG. This is unbelievable. You guys are amazingly smart because this is exactly what Halo needs.
