Coming next year, fans of the beloved Halo series, will get their first chance at controlling the armies of the UNSC and Covenant. This time, you get to control everything. From the battle cruisers to the soldiers, you are the masters and they are the puppets. The game will take place right around the time of the invasion of Harvest. The back story is still unknown, but it will most likely follow the Halo universe religiously. When asked about the progress of the game by Gametap, the head developer said this:
I think we’ve got magic in the disc. We’ve worked on the controls, gameplay, and story for this game being very much aware of what has gone before us. I was down in playtest yesterday and actually did not get to sit down and play because folks were spending their lunches playing the game. I know we’re doing well when that happens. More than that, I believe we will be huge not just because I believe, but because when we put the controller in your hands, you will believe too.
Grandstanding maybe? He is not the first developer to say his game is great, but when Bungie talks, I and the gaming world tend to listen.
I am not a fan of RTS games but this one does peak my interest. I’m a big Halo fan of course so the tie in they envisioned is working I guess. I’m waiting on reviews and peer reviews before buying it as I have learned too many times not to trust just Magazine reviews nor the hype engine that starts right around now.
I think this game could bring RTS games to the forefront of the casual gaming population. I don’t think most casual gamers have any idea what an RTS is, but everyone knows Halo. We’ll see how well games like Command and Conquer start selling after Halo Wars
Judgeing that picture i’m gonna have to say that game is gonna be good though I hate my 360 (my video card broke) and now I have to wait a fucking month for a new one
God, not another halo game… please don’t bring all the college frat boys to the rts world. The FPS world is filled with them know. Long live StarCraft
He claims they worked on the story, but that’s what they said about Halo 2 and Halo 3, and those games had more plot holes than the House of the Dead movie, yeah I went there.
