Leeked Info on Halo Wars

I have images from the players manual of Halo Wars that shows the four other leaders and their special abilities and troops. Click Images to view larger.

Have you played the Halo Wars Demo?

If not what are you waiting for?

It's hands down the best RTS (real time strategy) game on a home console.

If your a Halo fan and you like RTS games you will love Halo Wars. If you don't like Halo and like RTS games you will still love this game.

At first I thought controls would have a big learning curve or just wouldn't fit for a home console, but I was proven wrong when I got my hands on the demo. They are perfect for this type of game.

I recommend playing threw the two tutorials first and then play a skirmish on easy to get a good understanding of things before jumping feet first into the normal difficulty setting.

Pleas tell me your experience with the demo. Did you like it? Would you buy the game? What didn't you like about it?

HALO 3 MYTHIC MAP PACK DETAILS REVEALED

Microsoft today revealed details around the final “Halo 3” map, Sandbox, which will be included in the “Halo 3” Mythic Map Pack. The Mythic map pack is a collection of three new “Halo 3” maps which will be available first with the Limited Collector’s Edition of “Halo Wars”, which releases Feb. 26 in Asia, Feb. 27 in Europe and March 3 in the Americas. With Ensemble Studios’ genre-defining strategy game “Halo Wars” releasing soon and amazing new maps arriving from Bungie for “Halo 3”, “Halo” fans have a lot to look forward to.

The three maps included in the pack are Sandbox, Assembly and Orbital.

Sandbox combines large-scale vehicular combat with a limitless amount of Forge customization. Boasting a tiered, open-world layout, “Halo 3” players will be able to build their own unique game experiences using the Forge map editor. Sandbox is a map unlike any Bungie has ever created.

Assembly is set in the heart of a Covenant Scarab manufacturing facility. With two identical bases on either side of this medium-sized map, it’s a perfect environment for both Slayer and objective games like Capture the Flag and Assault.

Orbital, a small asymmetrical map, is set in the docking station of the Quito Space Tether. One-sided games like One Flag, and One Bomb are sure to become quick fan-favorites, but the Slayer faithful will also find plenty of action on this battleground.

Be sure to check out www.xbox.com and www.bungie.net for all the latest information and screenshots of the new maps. You can also visit our press FTP site for more screenshots: Link

*Players will need a copy of “Halo 3” to play the Mythic Map Pack.
