Halo wars is a very unoriginal name.

Halo wars is a very unoriginal name.

...How so?

I don't really think we can comment on the game, seeing as we know very little details, have seen no screenshots or footage, and basically merely know its name and genre...

BUT...

THAT CG VIDEO LOOKED FUCKING BEAUTIFUL...

Well... Halo Wars, Star Wars... >_>

Hopefully this game it will be as good as the trailer is.

Those elites are HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE*. And those energy swords are AWWWWWWESOME.

*I'm guessing that's just because of the armor, although I don't remember the marines being that small in comparison.

It was originnaly a mod for some PC game. It went off the internet a week ago, the reason being Microsoft bought the rights to it. It was called Halo Wars, and made by some user.

It's an RTS (Real Time Strategy) Game, for the Xbox 360. The trailer, is amazing.

That's all I know now, if others could post more information that would be great.

The trailer was awesome, but I hope they change the name. Halo Wars just sounds kind of cheesey for the type of game it is.

Reminds me of Starship Troopers, minus the suck.

I hope it'll be good.

That would be HaloGen.

Well everything looks really good, though the scene is pre-rendered.
The armour looks alot like primitive spartan armour, and the marines barely even have armour on.
The sword kicks major ass.
Also, in the scene with the marine running away from the elite, the animation looks very wierd.

I watched it earlier and I thought it was really cool. I just hope they change the name as well.

Yes, good thing we've managed to stay under the radar. As has every other Halo modding site out there. Fail.

Game looks neat. (PS, not back)
