'Halo Wars' readies for battle
On March 3, Microsoft Game Studios will release the latest edition of one of the most successful video game franchises of all time
"Halo Wars," which is available only for Xbox, is a strategy game set in the larger "Halo" world, the basis of "Halo," "Halo 2," and the record-setting "Halo 3." The new game was created to be played by multiple players in the recently launched Xbox Experience, the newest version of Xbox Live.
When "Halo Wars" launches on March 3, "players will command the armies of the UNSC warship Spirit of Fire, consisting of familiar and new UNSC units in its initial encounters against the Covenant, an alien coalition threatening to obliterate mankind.
In "Halo Wars," players will investigate the "Halo" universe in a chronological period before the original "Halo" game. The idea is that they will get to take part in many of the events that precipitated the original "Halo" story line.
In the new "Halo Wars," "with the guidance of Serina, a spirited artificial intelligence persona, gamers will direct legions of UNSC soldiers, Warthogs, Scorpions and more, each group having its own strengths and uses in battle."
"Halo Wars" players will have access to both new and existing Covenant units, including Scarabs, Grunts, Elites and Ghosts.
The first three "Halo" games were developed by Bungie Studios. But "Halo Wars" was developed for Microsoft Game Studios by Ensemble Studios, which was previously best known for its work on the "Age of Empires" franchise.
In the "Halo Wars" campaign mode, players who finish the kill objectives, for example, "Kill 100 Grunts," will have a skull appear on their map. Also, they'll discover that "Black Boxes" unveil new information about the "Halo" timeline.
