For those of you living under a rock, E3 2008 kicks off today! Ensemble have released a bunch of new Halo Wars information and a video trailer too. I know at least a couple of you don't read the frontpage here much, so you'll want to catch up with these two articles.

http://halowarscentral.com/archive/99/ - New Game Info

http://halowarscentral.com/archive/98/ - New Game Trailer

http://halowarscentral.com/archive/101/ - New Gameplay Footage

http://halowarscentral.com/archive/102/ - Interview with Dave Pottinger on G4TV

http://halowarscentral.com/archive/103/ - New Gameplay Footage - Snowy Map

The trailer really blew me away, it's nice to see a change from the blueish haze we've been seeing thus far. I guess I got the color scheme for this place right after all!

Discuss!

That was a much needed trailer after hearing it's release date being delayed to 09, but it all made up for it, and then some. Seriously, that was a sick trailer man! It really portrayed a somewhat up-n'-personal combat that'll make the player play wisely and more tactically. Thanks for the heads up Sprout! That was really awesome, and so are the screenshots.
You know, I just got a copy of C&C3: Tiberium Wars and getting a feel of how a RTS game is played kind of makes me appreciate Ensemble for making this game, and making it for the console.

Can't wait...
Halo Wars FTW!

Hell yeah!

EDIT:
You can see from 8-10 that the Wraith changed colors from Blue to green...huh?
But still cool seeing all those colors

It's great seeing that taking over enemy units is going to be a function..that affects strategy on many different levels.

Also, those orbital strikes are going to be a blast to use.

Jeezzzz! the loading at Game Videos is so freakin' long so I closed it

OMG, just watched the e3 and now I understand why the colors change nad it's because it got jacked by a spartan and thus turning green...nice

I just watched the two new gameplay (finally loaded quickly Smiley) from Game Videos and I have to agree with Davis that it is worth the wait but I'm sure all of us here and many others feel the same way Wink
