Halo Wars

I want to know what is up with this "Let's make a game that happens before anyone knows Jack Schite. That ought to get 'em," trend?
I mean, why go backwards?..

I think it'd be leet to go ahead, and not back...

Humans are still alive, somehow.
The Covenant fought a different collection of races, and lost terribly.
The Flood has morphed into something completely different where they can walk among the infectee's race, and not be noticed.
Humans are rebuilding their old planet known as 'Earth' into something much more diabolical.
And this new collection of races are about to destroy the last little pockets of Humans civilizations.

The Covenant must try to reason with the Humans, to fight off this new threat, and utilize the 'true' purpose behind the Flood...

Meh, I'd still rather it on the PC than 360. =\

Yes, and dind't the Halo graphic novel have a story in there called "The Infinite Succor", in where a Covenant elite team infiltrate a downed drophip of theirs, and they were attacked by the flood?

I don't have the Graphic Novel, but if you say so, then that'd further support my theory of the Covenant possibly facing the Flood.

Teh flood will not be in the game. If they are, then Ensemble screwed up. The games about the Human - Covenant war, technically the flood shouldn't be present.

I hope they're not, I think they ruined both games, although good for the story, I hated most levels where you mainly fight the flood.

I do agree with you there...they're the guys you love to hate in my opinion. They're awesome story line wise and they do what they say...take you over like a massive flood. But in the levels like The Library (gasp), they got extremely boring and repetitive...it's not that they're hard because of their tactics, it's the sheer overwhelming numbers, and that gave them an unfair (but challenging, and on some of the lower difficulty levels, fun) advantage.

I hope that if they're in Halo Wars, it's not for very long.

I'm pretty sure whatever the flying vehicle is, it was mentioned in Fall of Reach - I think whoever said Sky Hawk is right.

Where's the longswords that you guys say are in the trailer? Not a single longsword in the trailer I downloaded.

I shall rise above the silly comments.

The longsword gets shot down by two banshee's in the trailer.

By the last 4 people -iGeo wrote:I li3k 2 spam 4 teh post countz and join t3h 'net fad!

Anyway...You guys think it'll be heavily story driven (Like c&c - generals) or be focused on action action action... Considering that it appears like everything on consoles has to be uncomplicated comapred to pc games (no need to upgrade hardware or install multiple cd's so they expect quicker fun and also mentioning the poor response for the large story nobody wanted in MGS2) it'll probably be like command and conquer generals having in game cutscenes before getting into the action...What do you think?

Has it been announced if its single player only or multiplayer only? Or anything? Or is it just the trailer...

that's no longsword, its much smaller and is most likely a fast speed one or two manned fighter, much like the skyhawk in the Fall of Reach.
