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
|
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.
|
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. |
Oh boy. I can't wait to not play this.
It'll be a blast. You know, the not playing. |
Wingnut studios is like my worst fear, and it's local.
Pity me. And Halo Wars? Quake Wars anyone? :D |
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. ;) |
RTS games are the best. You're wrong. Your opinion is wrong!
Man that trailer is sweet. Too bad it's X360 exclusive. |
Mwwaaaah.... Ugulugubugunug...
Hey, looking forwards to it, despite those who aren't. |
Hee, its very cool.
Pretty, too. |

Haha, so finally I can pwn Luke with something!

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

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. |
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.* |
I'll definatly try it... even if I never touched an RTS game before
|
O RA!!!!!!! yay new halo stuff
|
|
Halo Wars looks good so far. Im really happy with the games that are coming out. :fuzgrin:
|
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...
|
They do look a bit scarier, don't they? As if looking through a "fear filter".
|
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"... |
It is. Its about the UNSC ship, the Spirit Of Fire, ( motto: The end justifys the means) and the first encounters with the Covenant.
|
Ah... that makes things much clearer! thank you!
|
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...
|
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.
