Bungie's X06 Announcements
Bungie has announced two new projects today at X06. The first is a partnership with [i]Peter Jackson [/i]and his talented crew to bring you another chapter in the Halo Universe. The second is [i]Halo Wars[/i], a real-time strategy game being developed by [i]Ensemble Studios[/i]. Get the scoop in the full story.

covenent vs nod anyone?
-
the Elites look Awesome :)

Personally, I think that a Halo: Total War would be far better. But that's just me. As long as Ensemble Studios allow zooming-in to the action, I'm happy.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Acestriker1 This RTS does look interesting, but I will never buy an XBOX 360; to tell you the truth I had been considering it, until they shut down Halogen. I had been following the project for roughly 2 years. I understand they had to protect their IP etc. but there are other companies that don't mind mods. Also the graphics for HaloWars is not going to be anything like the video most likely. It was stated that it was "pre-rendered" and besides they said Halo and Halo 2(on halo 2 vista if you aren't already I would greatly appreciate online co-op mode for campaign play) would be X-Box only as I recall (remind me if I'm incorrect) plus it will probably render most rts elements useless as well it being on a console. These claims may be disproved in time. I am of course very excited about the Halo movie. *someone said the elites were too big... they aren't being 8 feet tall (or was it 9?) and as strong as master chief WITH his armor I would expect them to easily pick up a marine. I am fully confident Halo 3 and HaloWars will come out on the PC if not I can do without unless they are incredibly good, in which case I will buy a 360 when the price is down to 100-150 dollars, or not at all. don't get me wrong I love that halo games and especially the storyline, I have all the books and will buy the games as they come out on the PC, but it really is a waste of money to buy a console for only a couple games while almost all the rest can be obtained on another console and more. (PS3) I've also noticed in many online polls people say they want to buy the PS3 more then XBOX 360, just search google... nonetheless I will always be a Halo fan just not a Microsoft fan though I do appreciate much of Microsoft's technology.[/quote] Man, all that rambling just to say you're not going to get the game eh? good trailer but the music was VERY much on the wimpy side [Edited on 9/28/2006]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Phatbat Surely this is a huge risk for Bungie. I mean, they are taking the greatest game of all time and giving it over to another studio?? Sure they will have a say in what stays and what goes, but they are no longer the sole creators of Halo. How is that okay for a studio like Bungie? I must admit KPaul, you do a very fantastic job of glossing over the situation and making it sound like everyone is so happy. I think Microsoft has begun to use that big brother hand and is pushing Bungie around. I'm gonna take a stab in the dark here and say that everything isn't totally buddy buddy between Bungie and Microsoft right now. I trust Bungie alone with Halo, nobody else. [/quote] You think that Bungie (MS) just let these people build a Halo game? Hell no brotha'....they paid M$ a large chunk of change to make a game based in the Halo Universe...that's why HaloGen was shut down, M$ wasn't going to make a dime off of that Mod (oh, and they already were planning HaloWars) So, Please dont think that M$ and Bungie are in trouble, they have just realized the profit potential of branching out the most successful IP they have had in the new Millenium.

Oh, sweet Christ

It's gonna kick butt
-
is there going to be stronger characters then the other like you know like powerful characters like the Master Chief
-
ya but do you think that it would change halo a bit like it wouldn't be your killing skills you are showing out in the battle field it is how good the guy you send at the battle field and what about C.T.F or the other games we play in halo can we play that

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] kippa You know, this makes me think another thing. I somehow got the impression this is one of the first Human Covenant encounters. There are a few things that lead me to this, even though they are flimsy. One. The way that the Elite looks at the Marine, as if he is analysing it for the first time. Two. What the Spartan says "if they want War, we'll give them war". It seems like a prett dumb thing to say if you're already in the middle of a war. So, if this is one of the first encounters, then why are there Spartans? They had absolutely no involvement with the Covenant until way after the first few engagements. They were still blowing up Asteroid Cities. Hmm. Whatever, just random speculation. IM GONNA WATCH IT AGAIN!![/quote] o god please do not begin theorizing

I love bungie so much right now. I almost wet myself when I read this. And The Halo Wars clip is the coolest Halo movie i have ever scene. =]
-
HOLY FLURKING SHNIT!!!! Forget Alla ! Praise be to the Halo Gods! That's it, I'm getting my degree in game design. Thanks for renewing the love Bungie!
-
YES YES YES! OH GOD WE HAVE BEEN WAITING TO LONG!!!
-
Gah! 1up never gets their info right- [quote] Microsoft has just announced that Ensemble Studios and Bungie are collaborating on a Halo RTS called Halo Wars for the PC and Xbox 360! [/quote] It says specifically for 360 only. Anyway, great to hear, cant wait to find out what the other project is. This made my day :)
-
dude halo wars will own i have been a fan of command & counquer an any other stradgy game now...my dream came true halo+stradgy=omg omg omg
-
I am so waiting this. God I wait for this Halo Wars now, I have a reason to buy Xenon. I mean, it's not everyday you see FPS turned into RTS do you? and if they manage to get the controls work well I'll be most likely sucked into that more than Halo 3, for deep inside I am true RTS player, more than FPS. I mean I know when game is good. if they manage to copy controls from original C&C, then it will work just fine, but I think I can always find a way to put my keyboard and mouse to work with Xenon. I am so happy about this, and it's Ensemble Studios one of the best. After AoE3 I am really waiting them to make it good, I mean they cannot actually ruin it because nothing can ruin Halo, right? Yeah, this fanboi will leave for awhile. [Edited on 9/27/2006]

Sweet a Halo rts! Wait... an rts on a console? wtf?
-
Did anyone else -blam!- themselves after watching the Halo Wars trailer? It was so amazing!
-
This game would be even cooler if you could take control of a single Spartan or other foot soldier and use an FPS view to take part in the battle. I hope they do something like this, although they probably wont because this is an RTS and Halo is an FPS...mixing the two might interfere with the overall experience of both. But I would love it :).
-
i want one! this will be fun
-
ZOMGOMGROFLCOPTER ! Halo Wars looks kickass !!! and the other one sounds intresting
-
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH -blam!- AWESOME!!!!!!! This means I MUST get Xbox360.
-
Halo, As an RTS? As long as its still halo by the time it's finished, it's fine by me.
