Saw some gameplay video a while back - plays very similar to Command & Conquer.

I never really got into things like Age of Empires but a Halo real-time strategy sounds quite interesting!

“Halo Wars” is a strategy game based on the legendary “Halo” universe. In campaign mode, players will command the armies of the UNSC warship “Spirit of Fire,” consisting of familiar and new UNSC units in its initial encounters against the Covenant, an alien coalition threatening to obliterate mankind. “Halo Wars” will immerse gamers in an early period of the storied “Halo” universe, allowing them to experience events leading up to the first “Halo” title for Xbox.


official webby

and a trailer...



edit: oh yeah and a pre order from game gets you flame paint jobs on your warthogs...

Has anyone bought Halo wars?

I sometimes play warhammer on PC.
I like RTS with a mouse and keyboard but found using a pad really hard, to many commands for to few buttons.
That said a mate of mine says halo wars works really well on the pad so i'm now offically interested in this game!


let me know if you've got it and would fancy a game.

does it not have voice control for everything to make it a bit easier...

although it never seems to understand anything that anyone says when games have that, you probably have to talk american

Dunno if halo has voice commands but i tried the end war demo and that had it.
Not that it was of any use to me, a broad peterhead accent doen't interact well with most people nevermind an xbox.

hahahahaha i understand ye, i think you can callibrate the voice cammands on it though so it shouldn't be too bad (or was it end war that had the voice, i'm confused now)

been thinking of either this or end war, just as something different to play

what was the demo like deadly, i downloaded but deleted with fecking playing it lol

Hardly played the demo myself mate.
I had just bought warhammer - soulstorm for my lappy so pretty much had one shot then deleted end war.
I think a good RTS would make a good change away from FPS.
wouldn't hurt to give it a try - maybe once it comes down in price a bit.

mixed reviews on this. i'm kinda waiting til i get some 1st hand reviews back.
i had a couple of shots of endwar when i was on the beta and it handled my accent pretty well.....eventually. don't think halo wars has voice commands tho.

I played the demo and enjoyed it, and thought how awesome it might be doing 2v2's online (reminiscing the days of warcraft 3), but then realised that this was just going to be a massive zerg fest where you would win or lose battles in the first few minutes.

Did they add the 2v2's back to the playlist in Halo 3? I remember they removed them at some point used to play all night on those.

Don't know about that all i do know is that unless you fork out the cash for the map packs you are basically barred from playing anything public online.
