New Halo Wars screenshots and information photo

Recently, Ensemble Studios updated their Halo Wars Web site and introduced us to the UNSC firebase, and the Warthog. The UNSC firebase (the huge thing) is a mobile barracks and vehicle assembly line. It also comes imbued with a special power called “Spirit of Fire” that “can directly deploy the entire assembly unit of a firebase making it immediately useful.”

Also outlined was the Warthog, everyone’s favorite Halo physics shredder. In Halo Wars, the Warthog is a light vehicle, used more for its ability to scout rather than running over teammates in deathmatches. The Warthog will be customizable to boot, as the UNSC firebase can add different turret attachments to make the meager Warthog a bit more battle ready.

Don’t forget to check out the gallery to see these tools of Covenant destruction.

I'm not as excited for this game as I once was, but it's still nice to see what's coming down the pipe.

I love the Halo series and this game peaks at about a 0 on my interest meter.

I think this game will sell well based on the fact that its halo. Sure lots of angry consumers will wonder where their FPS is and return the game but initially it will sell well. That being said, I'm still excited for it.

Hey, all I'm saying is release this on PC.

Seriously. No way I'm RTS'ing with a controller. No matter how good they make it, Mouse + Keyboard will always be better.

Halo Wars is one of those games that just don't seem interesting.
