Halo Wars Trailer and Game Play Video
December 7th, 2007
Halo Wars going to be the latest in the Halo game series. Rather than being an FPS it is a real-time strategy game from Ensemble Studios, creators of the Age of Empires franchise.
The shift from FPS to RTS is not going to please everyone, but if you prefer games like Command and Conquer, Star Craft, etc to FPS games like Counter Strike then this looks promising. You will be able to command full armies, create buildings and vehicles, etc taking full control of the war.
The Halo Wars story takes place before the first Halo FPS game during UNSC’s initial deadly encounters with the Covenant.
Below is the cinematic trailer and an additional 10 minute video demonstrating the game play.
