[XboX360] Halo WarS

[xXSkillerXx]

 

Halo Wars is an upcoming real-time strategy video game set in the Halo universe, designed by Ensemble Studios for Xbox 360. It is the last project to be developed by Ensemble Studios.

 

Gameplay

 

Halo Wars is a real-time strategy game that uses species and vehicles seen in previous Halo games as well as new units.The controls use the A-button primarily for selecting via 3 methods; tap to select one unit, double tap a particular unit to select all units of that class on screen or "paint brush" which selects all units that the "brush" is dragged over.Selecting a unit gives the player the option of commands and selecting certain buildings brings up a "circle menu", said to be the most important menu in the game,taking up the whole screen which is used for creating units and buildings.The game's lead developer, Graeme Devine, has said that the emphasis is more on combat than economy; it is necessary for the player to "manage a battle instead of watching it",and while resources are still present they also have alternative forms such as time and the number of units present.Some campaign missions will take the focus off resources but skirmish and multiplayer matches still require some management of an economy.The demo for the game is expected to be released on Feb 5, 2009. The game went gold on January 23.

 

Plot

 

The trailer cites the story as taking place 20 years before the events of Halo: Combat Evolved. Seven characters have been named so far: Captain James Cutter, Professor Anders, Sergeant John Forge, an unknown Arbiter, an AI named Serina, a SPARTAN named Alice,and the Prophet of Regret.
