Halo Wars

I was in GameStop the other day, about to buy a new copy of Halo 3 so I could play online again with you guys, but I decided against it because I saw that Halo Wars was coming out 2/2/09! Anyone have any information on the game? Style? Is it all on Live only?

I think it's an RTS style game.

Here's what you do to get a new Halo 3 disc: Rent a copy from Blockbuster or any movie rental place and return your broken disc to the store and keep the good copy. That's what I did.

Ahhhhh, very smart! Good idea, I'm just going to have to do that!

What does RTS style mean?

Real Time Strategy.. like Starcraft, Warcraft III, etc etc.

Hmm, never played those games, so I don't really know what it's like? Is it like Halo 3 on Live in the FPS perspective?

You never played Starcraft or Warcraft? How about Red Alert or Age of Empires? You basically have a "base" and you build units to send off to kill your enemy's base. It isn't an FPS in the slightest.

There is, however, a new FPS Halo game coming out as well. I can't remember the name of it, but it was in the december issue of Official Xbox Magazine (which I highly recommend you guys subscribe to.)

After looking at halowars.com, no Halo Wars isn't a FPS. Like I mentioned earlier, it'll be an RTS game for the 360 where you can control armies of tanks, ghosts, banshees, etc.

That'd be Halo 3:ODST which releases September 30th. I will definitely be getting this game.
