I hope halo wars comes out for PC also, I can't visualize an RTS being controller friendly without being slower paced and large-scale. But then again, Ensamble has yet to dissapoint me with a game, and I'm sure that it will look great on the 360, along with live play.

Wow, this was the most unexpected news ever. It was certainly alot more surprising then the announce that you guys were making Halo 3 (lol). This is awesome! Halo Wars sounds awesome. I'm guessing it will be based on "Fall of Reach." Halo RTS, I can't wait. I hope there are space battles. As for this unnamed game I am guessing it will be a FPS and the beginning of an entirely new Halo story (Halo's 1, 2, and 3 were/are on the story "Arc"). I knew there would be more halo games. There too popular to stop making.

The question is, what is the order of there release. I'd guess Halo 3, Halo Wars, then the unnamed game (seeing as there is no name for it yet.) Thank god there are two more reasons for me to buy Xbox 360 next year.

I love it... but the main problem with every consol RTS is the controller, even LOTR BFME II was better with mouse and keyboard. So, is there any logistical reason they can't put some mouse recognition sofware on a 360?... It seams like you should be able to download it or just have a disk that installs pc style, the way certain mods worked on original xbox. Hell, its microsoft, they could make an xbox 360 specific mouse, and not have normal ones work on it, just to make you buy it... I would: a wireless usb mouse/keyboard would end all the trying to figure out how to make these things consol friendly.

So thats why they shut down HaloGen.............

Well, I guess it would be cool, but I hope I can play as a first-person shooter too.

I love how this is the only topic where more than three people and a cricket (not counting Bungie employees) are thrilled about Halo Wars...

Awesome! Now release a picture of Halo 3 right now, doesn't have to be anything special just to see how its coming along, then I will be satisfied.

Phoenix is dead, long live Phoenix!
Is it?

Wow that trailer was as good as if not better the the halo 3 one.

GO BUNGIE YOUR MY HEROS!

Actually if i am correct, Halo started out as an RTS but switched to FPS when the project was in very early stages. So it's not like bungie just said to themselves, let's go out and steal someone elses idea.


I said that like 5 posts above yours.

Reach is hot garbage.

This is too much... Thank you Bungie. :)

What's up? I'm Anthony, from Maryland. I play a lot of video games, too many. Enjoying the Halo Reach Beat right now. Also Halo was kind of my life from the age of 11-14.

This all sounds very cool and I cant wait to hear more info. I knew they werent going to stop at Halo 3, creators only stop franchises when they are getting old, losing quality, or getting bad and that is definatlay not happening. Bungie is right, now is a great time to be a Halo Fan !

Keep up the good ideas and work Bungie, Halo Wars sounds awesome.

Holy -blam!-!

The predictions about the HaloGen shutdown were correct after all.

I didn't think Bungie would carry on more that one project simultaniously (or rather, it's not Bungie working on it, but Ensemble), but I guess I was wrong. This took me by surprise.

wow



The trailer was to the book too! THe plasma is like the book. The models in the cinimatic are from the game too! 360 is SOO good that those awsome models will be detailed even though you see tons of action at one time.

When do we get a MC head mug to put next to our wookie head mugs? Halo is doing very well if there is a head mug.

^^No that trailer was pre-rendered.

I'm so defeated right now.
