Halo Wars Vid Doc: Let's Meet the Cast

Halo Wars Vid Doc: Let's Meet the Cast
Written Tuesday, February 03, 2009 by Dan Webb

I don't know about anyone else, but I wasn't sure how much I was looking forward to Halo Wars, but as we get closer to its release I seem to crave it more.

Maybe it's the Halo universe that's sucking me in, the promise of huge, intense, action packed battles or even an RTS game that was built specifically with the controller in mind. I just don't know in all honesty ... but maybe video documentaries like this help answer it.

This video documentary looks at all the cool, impressively licensed units of the Halo Wars universe and discusses how they differ from one another and what battlefield advantages they may offer. It's ultra cool and now we're ultra excited.

Oh, and check out the first glimpse of the Flood at 5:07. Shibby!

Also, don't forget to check out the Halo Wars demo come Thursday, February 5th.

This looks good I am not into RTS but since Halo is involved I may play this.

okay - it appears that YouTube is struggling so if you can't see the vid load, check back later and it should be back up and running.

Typical :P

#12 - Shibby - Watch "Dude, Where's My Car."

It's like the Command and Conquer or Classic Warcraft (not WoW, but oldschool Warcraft) within the Halo universe. Awesome!

I just tried the demo out. I am a writer, thats why i got a code early for those that ask. Anyhow, I expect anyone who is a fan of C&C will really like this game. It almost seems like it could be a run and gun RTS. Halo fans should try it out as you may like it as well. Very Haloesque in menus and functionality.

Wow I thought this would suck badly, but that video sure made it look good. Nothing will ever beat C&C red alert 2 though :(

@26 - 'Think i'll wait for Gears 3' Then you're in for a long wait that game wont come out for two years AT LEAST. Also Halo Wars is an RTS and Gears is a 3rd person shooter, completely different genres m8. Nearly every 360 gamer is waiting for Gears 3 doesnt mean they wont buy This game if they want.
Anyway, Rant over lol. Halo Wars looks fun, cant wait for the demo 2morro, will preorder if demo is good :)

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
