New Halo sshtuff!
 
Yeah, I think this deserves a new topic.

Anyways, Bungie has announced a new Halo game!

Halo Wars, a RTS, made by Ensemble Studios (AoE)

Furthermore, Peter Jackson, Bungie and Microsoft are gonna work together and form a new company to focus on more Halo stuff! Teh Awesome!

Go see www.bungie.net for more news!

That is great news. Actually Halo CE was originally conceived as an RTS with no Master Cheif to speak of. It was changed when Microsoft snapped it up for their XBox, but even then it was going to be third person, possibly involving playing as UNSC marines and ODST "Helljumper" shock troopers.

Now let's close the floodgates before the Halo flamers storm the thread.

The trailer is AWESOME. THAT'S how the cutscenes shoul've looked :D:D:D

Hobo 09-28-2006 11:23 AM

Sounds like a wind up to me.

I shall now dub it

Battle For HaloEarth

Microsoft are a bunch of assholes. They shut down all Halo-related mods for PC games for no reason. I hope this project falls like a brick.

Hobo 09-28-2006 12:13 PM

Maybe L-B because the mods violate the EULA and terms and conditions of use?

Just because some companies accept it doesn't mean that all have to.

SeaRex 09-28-2006 02:43 PM

Oh boy. I can't wait to not play this.

It'll be a blast. You know, the not playing.

Leto 09-28-2006 02:43 PM

Wingnut studios is like my worst fear, and it's local.

Pity me.

And Halo Wars? Quake Wars anyone? :D

SeaRex 09-28-2006 02:57 PM

Except Quake Wars is going to be good. Because it's not going to be an RTS.

RTSs suck, and if you think otherwise, you are wrong. ;)

Facsimile 09-28-2006 07:21 PM

RTS games are the best. You're wrong. Your opinion is wrong!

Man that trailer is sweet. Too bad it's X360 exclusive.

Seargentbig 09-28-2006 11:39 PM

Mwwaaaah.... Ugulugubugunug...
Hey, looking forwards to it, despite those who aren't.

Strike Witch 09-29-2006 01:10 AM

Hee, its very cool.

Pretty, too.

You just say that because you get owned by Zerg rushes. ^_^

Mojo 09-29-2006 01:55 AM

Haha, so finally I can pwn Luke with something!

Strike Witch 09-29-2006 02:36 AM

SeaRex is the reason the 15 minute cease-fire was invented.
Its for time to build some more Grunts.

Indeed. Probably badly.

If I knew what you were talking about, I would probably agree with you. Just leave me alone and let me build my city so I can get bored with the game and stop playing it.

Agreed, with the sole exception of TA.

Strike Witch 09-29-2006 04:12 PM

Total Annihilation was the worst offender of RTS. Sure, it had cool robots that kill stuff, but was it so different?

Besides, RTSs are an aquired taste. Alot of time people can't cope with multitasking and strategy, and get kill when they try to build their first Hydralisk....because they thought that they should build all the buildings first.


Woo.

Arxryl 10-03-2006 07:56 AM

Hm... Halo Wars? I don't know if it will be a success or not, but Here's hoping. *waves a little flag that says "Halo" on it*
Well, even if it fails miserably, we will have Halo 3.*drops Halo flag and picks up Halo 3 flag.*

Xavier 10-03-2006 08:52 AM

I'll definatly try it... even if I never touched an RTS game before

the Exoddus 10-03-2006 03:22 PM

O RA!!!!!!! yay new halo stuff

Bullet Magnet 10-05-2006 10:56 AM

Quick Time trailer

Halo Wars looks good so far. Im really happy with the games that are coming out. :fuzgrin:

Arxryl 10-13-2006 05:15 AM

I saw a trailer for it, and it looks awesome! The only thing that got me was the Elites had claws instead of regular fingers like they used to have. But thats just me...

Bullet Magnet 10-13-2006 01:25 PM

They do look a bit scarier, don't they? As if looking through a "fear filter".

Arxryl 10-13-2006 02:21 PM

yeah. no kidding. Another thing that could tick someone off a whole bunch, is that there is more than just Master Cheif. As my brother stated a couple days ago, after Reach, there shouldn't be any more other than Master Cheif.

Although, this could take place a long time after the second and third Halo's...
Or maybe it's kinda like multiplayer, where there can be an infinite amount of spartans but no one's the real "Master Cheif"...

Strike Witch 10-13-2006 02:43 PM

It is. Its about the UNSC ship, the Spirit Of Fire, ( motto: The end justifys the means) and the first encounters with the Covenant.

Arxryl 10-13-2006 02:57 PM

Ah... that makes things much clearer! thank you!

Seargentbig 10-13-2006 06:56 PM

Ah! "The End Justifies The Means" - I was trying to figure out what it said. It didn't help that I don't understand latin at all...

ANGRY ELEPHANT 10-23-2006 12:16 PM

Halo?HALO!I'm a Halo whore.I'm going to buy a $14 book just because it has a picture of Master chief in it.
