The officialHalo Warstrailer andWeb sitehave now gone live. The site includes the trailer, some kick-ass images (translation: cool new wallpaper for me), an FAQ, and forums. Here are some of the highlights we can expect inHalo Wars:•Halo Warstakes place beforeHalo 1during the UNSC’s first deadly encounters with the Covenant.• Players will lead the crew of the UNSC’s “Spirit of Fire” from initial skirmishes to an all out war against the evil Covenant.• Trailer pre-rendered?: Yes, and it’s based around our world concepts and uses lots of ingame models. Props to our friends at Blur for bringing it all together and making it really shine.•Halo Warswas created for the Xbox 360 from the ground up, which meant we didn’t have to make compromises or shoe-horn in artifacts from a Windows PC game. We were able to take all the best aspects of RTS games, make them work perfectly on the Xbox 360, and exclude the rest.God I can’t wait for this game. Check out the wallpapershere.
