Has anyone heard of this game?  Maybe I've been living in a cave, but i know 2007 is ripe for Halo 3, but this game is a mystery to me.

"Halo Wars places the player in command of human UNSC armies as they deploy for mankind’s first deadly encounter with the enemy Covenant forces.

Halo Wars is an all-new real-time strategy game based on the legendary Halo universe and designed exclusively for Xbox 360 by Ensemble Studios, creators of the Age of Empires franchise. "


has anyone heard of this????????????
I have, looks really awesome, just wish it would come out for PC, because I dont have and don't plan on having a 360.
Keep your fingers crossed, cause if it's real good, Microsoft will put it on PC, cause they are money whores...as you already know.
To me it's just something to milk people's money...but thats just me
I have, weeks ago, and its sounding very interesting. The trailer made me look forward to it. I will be buying an XB360 for Halo 3 and Halo Wars by the looks of it.
not a fan of RTS. i'll pass.
Console-bound RTS titles tend to not port their controls over very well. LOTR, which is a console RTS title, is selling well, but its selling well for a console RTS. Those types of games funtion best when you have a mouse and keyboard.

Still, I'm interested to see what Bungie does with the controls to make it worthwhile.
And thats just the thing too, I would rather play Halo Wars on PC then Console. Not all RTS games are success on the console. But who knows, I do love AoE.

bungie's not working on it.

I have yet to play LortRBME why, because I just liked the LotR games when it was just leveling up and hack and slash.


So that makes me wonder how would it look visually?
It looks like a Halo 3 from a long way back.
That picture was my old background. huh?huh?
But the thing is ensemble studios is building halo wars from the ground up on the 360. So this RTS should not suffer from what most console RTSs suffer from when ported from the PC.
only reason why LOTR middle earth succeeded on a console as an RTS game was the fact that you were never really controlling as many individual units as in 90% of your units were tied to a squad of like units. So controlling them with a controller was fairly easy.
