  • Lol, I agree, the internets are all going to implode, leaving a black hole. And all because of some fanboys who FEAR CHANGE and feel the need to vent their insecurities on the forums. Jeez people, we're still getting Halo 3, the fantasmical FPS, and now to COMPLIMENT that, we also get an RTS into the bargain. How can this be a bad thing? Kudos to Bungie, not only for doing Halo Wars, but also for contracting it out to someone with more experience with RTS games, so that it will be the best it can be. As for people whining about storyline and continuity, chill out, for the love of all that is happy. Have you considered that maybe there isn't a problem with the spartan armor and that it looks new....perhaps it is just an early version of the armor, thus it would seem new to us. And who says they can't have BR's? No reason that some soldiers will use AR's and some BR's, and perhaps the ship from Halo one had a shortage of BR's or something. I think there would be a lot less ignorance, hatred and wasted time if people would just stop nitpicking about plot, freeze framing movies, and looking for reflections in visors (and for people who still think that is a face in the visor.... i think your particular strain of stupidity is malignant). Okay I'm done. Once again, fantastic job Bungie, no more complaining about lack of info from me!

  • Even though the Halo Wars video wasn't ingame graphics, but CGI instead, it was still amazing! I wanted it to go on and on... They should make a full legnth CGI movie of Halo, like they did with Final Fantasy. Mmm...how very tantalizing...the marines (all of it really) looked so real! This game is gonna rock, but I am curious what the other Halo project is, where Peter Jackson is gonna be in charge...!

  • Any body who say's this will not be one of the coolest(RTS) game ever is a blamming blam. Any ways hopefully we'll be able to use more than just 3 ground veacle's like a lighter tank or a ground troop transport......or maybe( the best idea of all) getting the sparten's to hijak a scarab......... eat plasma you Blamming blamers. And something I've noticed is that the scorpions look slightly diffrent there gun turrut's look thinner. [Edited on 9/30/2006]

  • About Halo Wars -- I haven't read any of the books or anything, but I got it in my head somewhere that the spartans were based on reverse-engineered Covenant technology, so how could there be spartans at first contact? Or am I wrong about where that tech came from? Dave RE: Actualy the spartan tech are creation from earth using our on tech not reverse tech

  • There "seem" to be some inconcistencies between the Halo Wars trailer and the Halo story timeline. Br being being used by UNSC so early in the war and the appearance of the Spartans armor. But since Halo Wars is a going to be based in the early years of the covie-Human war, it's highly likely it will span a large amount of time. The Br and the Spartans probably won't be available in the early parts of the game. You will start off with basic stuff and become slowly more advanced in your weaponry over time....like other RTS's. The trailer is meant to show us some cool stuff and gain our attention. It had to have Spartans, ya know? If Bungie says they played a little bit of Halo wars and it was"AWESOME" I'm gonna take their word for it. :)

  • I watched the trailer, why are they using BR if it happens befor Halo CE, shouldn't they be using the AR?

  • I can't believe they cancelled halogen for this -blam!-. No offence, but this is completely innacurate: The story is wrong at the moment (they have Spartans fighting at the start of the Covenant/UNSC war), from what the trailer shows the elites are completely wrong (too tall, too thin, too slow and too bulky chest wise... Basically the scaling is all wrong) and the combat is not like the books or games whatsoever (the elites wont run, only using spec ops elites, way way WAY too many banshees e.t.c). So many things need changing from what the teaser says... Halogen was just like the books and games, it really captured halos feel, made by fans for fans...

  • The real Halo feelling shines with absence in that trailer, in my opinion. I think according to the teaser Halo Wars will be an uber cool RTS with the vehicles, races etc. of the Halo Universe, but without te actual Halo [i]feeling[/i], maybe it's because of the music, I hope the final version will have better music, [i]Halo[/i] music, , made by Marty, instead of Age of Empires-like music.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] darth_lord_3peo where do you find this book? I had no idea that the halo universe was that in-depth and might have a book, must find, must read.. where can I find this stuff?[/quote] You'ce never heard of the books based on Halo??? wow, oh well So far I believe there are 3 books on the Halo universe: 1. Halo: The Fall of Reach - Takes place BEFORE Halo, decribes the abduction a child named John (who later becomes the Master Cheif) and other children, and their many years of training, becoming Spartans. Also decribes the first encounters of the Convenent and the Battle of Reach (Earth's military planet) when the battle is lost, the Pillar of Autumn flees into Slipspace, and when they exit, they find Halo. 2. Halo: The Flood - Takes place DURING the Halo - Combat Evolved game, describing in detail events that happened, both in the viewpoint of the Master Cheif, and of the Marines. 3. Halo: First Strike - Takes place AFTER Halo and BEFORE Halo 2. After the MC blows up Halo, he finds survivors in an escaped Pelican (including Sgt.Johnson) after that ..........blahblahblahblahblahblahblah............. You can go to http://halosm.bungie.org/story/halostory.timeline.html there it decribes even more, and combines the info from the books and games. Also if you're wondering where to find the books, go to the library, where you can rent books for free =P or buy them at a bookstore or online store. Halo Wars, Halo 3, Halo 2 Vista, HALO the Movie, and Halo unannounced....so much Halo, so little time to keep fans satisfied...... [Edited on 9/29/2006]

  • My only concern with the whole halo going rts style is that, when playing an rts the emotional attachment to the characters is almost nill, i could care less, when i was playing warcraft, if a bunch of my troops died. The thing that makes the halo fps franchise so great is the emotional attachments that people created with the main characters, these attachments are the essence of good game play. I just feel that with the lack of game time with a select one or two characters is going to destroy any chance for those emotional bonds to be formed ultimately any chance of a halo rts being anywhere as great as previous halos. Before i get flamed with sophomoric garbage, I'm simply expressing my opinion, not trying to bash a game no one has played yet. I will however note that the trailer kicked severe amounts of -blam!-.

  • This makes me sad. If they are showing this video of Halo wars, and of massive Halo battles, as if it is something that will make the game, then that leads me to believe that Halo 3 has obviously not increased the scope that much. If Bungie truly wanted to make an epic Halo game, thats what it would look like, but as a FPS. And I could be mistaken but I believe I smell the scent of a sellout on the wind.... but only time will tell. [Edited on 9/28/2006]

  • wow this brought tears to my eyes. game looks good it wont add up to the action of the halos but looks good. i like rts but never find good ones. if they have space battles it would be amazing. also, if this comes out before halo 3 it will help with the wait. now i have to decide wether to get halo wars or gears of war.
