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 to select all units 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 management of an economy

[edit] Plot

A development screenshot showing over 120 combatants including Grunts, Jackals, Hunters, several varieties of Elite and vehicles.Halo Wars is set in 2531, prior to the events of Halo: Combat Evolved which is set in 2552. It follows the story of the UNSC's discovery of a Forerunner artifact and the first battles with the Covenant after the fall of the first planet, Harvest, to the Covenant.[9][10] It will allow the player to control the crew and vehicles of a UNSC ship, CFV-88 Spirit of Fire, and receive instructions and commands from its AI Serina.[7]

When asked whether it would be possible to play as the Covenant, Ensemble's official response was "stay tuned",[11] however other sources have said the Covenant would be available to play.[10] In an interview on December 21, 2007 Devine explained that Ensemble was concentrating on differentiating the two factions in the single player campaign, but did not confirm or deny that the Covenant would be playable when prompted.[12]

  • WTF happened ensable studio's :O , this , dont get me wrong is bloody cool , but the released version of halo on xbox is a pile of wank compared to this !! what ever they did , they downgraded it from this version

  • you all look silly comparing fps to rts. this game is very good.

  • i personely seem like this demo is much better then the gameplay, it just seems better.

  • Why the hell did they take this awsomeness from the final game?

  • @PTGKChrisHD no, its a rts.

  • So Basically This Isn't A First Person Shooter Game?

  • If 343 reads this then make it true make this game real but whatever you do don't call it halo wars 2 post this to very halo video and together we can make this real (started by the warlord)

  • is it just me, or does this look better than the actual game?

  • It would be cool that you can become master chief in this game, you know like, once you make a hero (master chief) you can switch into FPS mode and start fighting as master chief :D
