Hmm... good to see that my thread has gotten outside attention. It only paid attention to the featured UNSC units though. No new Covenant units were announced.Quirel 06:14, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Contact Harvest
do you think they will put parts from the book as cutscenes? especially important parts with the prophets

Covenant Playable?
Are the covenant playable here? This may have been already asked buy I have no idea. 05:34, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Reply:

There is no doubt that you can play as the Covenant. I am intrerested in how the developers will even out the powwer of the UNSC and the Covenant, as the Covenant is far more superior then the Marines and such then the UNSC. Especially in Space Combat...

Too bad the Flood can't appear in this (unless the story gets massively retconned). It would be cool to play as them in an RTS and have to infect enemy units.

Halo Wars Marines
Ive noticed that the armor the marine are wearing dosnt seem to be made out of any tipe of metal and theres not much high tech stuff there, wat are your speculations? Mendoza 8:34, 8 2007 (UTC)

Reply:

I have noticed this as well. The Humans in the zHalo Series don't seem to have much better technology then we do today. The only real thing that is much more high tech that we don't have today is space travel and splipstream travel. For instance, the Main Cannon of the Scorpion tank is 90mm, which is weak compared to US tanks today, such as the Abrams, with a 144mm cannon. I think 144... I know it's more then 90mm though.

The armor the marines wear could be made of a metal we do not know of today, it could be made on some colony or other planet or something. In the future, it is safe to assume that we will find more and powerful metals or fabrics better suited for war.

It looks awesome though

Wishlist
All this needs to completely rule my life:


 * A PC port.
 * A galactic map like from Star Wars: Empire at War
 * A galactic conquest mode (like Empire at War or War of the Ring mode in Battle for Middle Earth)-- CaptJim 03:13, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Wont happen, its a Xbox 360 Exclusive. The other stuff...probably. --JohnSpartan117 02:10, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, Halo and Halo 2 were Xbox exclusives but came/are coming to PC, so I'll keep hoping. CaptJim 02:26, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Alright, they will come, but not for....4 years. --JohnSpartan117 10:30, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, how the hell do you play RTS games on a console!? NeoExelor 23:40, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

I hope you can plug in a mouse and keyboard for the 360

i have no clue - Echelon (talk) | |undefined | undefined(contribs) 21:09, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Have any of yall played Battle for Middle Earth 2 on the 360 you use the thumbsticks to move the camera and the A button to select units and tell them who to beat up and where to go.Although the keyboard and mouse on 360 dosent sound to bad. So yes IT IS POSSIBLE to play a RTS on a console infact it (to me at least) feels simpler and easier to pick up and play.

My Wishlist:Graphics as good at the trailers,multiplayer,the abbilite for 100 or so units on one field,Space Battles ,a Covenant campaign (anybody wanted to glass a planet?).

Awsome idea, sweep away UNSC resistance and glass billions o humans ;P I know that sounds sarcastic but it's not. --Captain Jacob Rathens 21:07, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Questions
--Ryanngreenday 09:55, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Why do they have battle rifles?
 * 2) And why do the Elites have fat upper bodies?
 * 3) And most importantly that omega crap!Whats up with that?!


 * Good question..isnt this 27 years before The Fall Of reach? And they wouldnt have those...they would have...Assualt Rifles....
 * They do? I think they just wanted it to make it in porportion of a regular human's point of view and not a huge Spartan.
 * Omega Crap? What do you mean by that?

--JohnSpartan117 02:12, 29 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I mean thers no spartans other then the first class of 2525.--Ryanngreenday 20:01, 4 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I’m a bit disappointed it’s a RTS i would of preferred a first person shooter, and whats the unnamed Halo project they mention and are they wearing mark 6 Mjolnir ? --12:32, 28 September 2006 (UTC)


 * The unnamed project should be a game for halo first strike.--Ryanngreenday 18:31, 28 September 2006 (UTC)


 * sweet, is that what they said or what you want?  --Climax Viod 19:13, 28 September 2006 (UTC)


 * What i want.--Ryanngreenday 19:58, 4 October 2006 (UTC)


 * um, this is back on the first 2 questions. First, the Elites formed the Covenant with the Prophets, and Engineers, the Elites as warriors and protectors for them. Anyways, they had been studying the humans for a long time (suggested in Halo: Fall of Reach) and knew that the humans had to be dealt with for being a threat to their "gods." So they sent their best race of units, Elites.
 * Second Question. First I want to comment that it was not the Elites, Hunters, or Grunts that were the traitors. The Prophets actually had the Brutes assassainate all the Elite High Councilers, leading to Civil War. Thus, the Prophets, Brutes, Jackals, and Drones are the traitors. Second, the Brutes probably would have joined, and might show up in this game. However, they were the most recent added alien race to the Covenant, and were probably just being added at the time. Secondly, Jackals would die in that enviroment. Third, Drones weren't soldiers for the Covenant until right before Halo 2. And third, Prophets don't fight. Anyways, these are just opinions, thank you.

1. Don't know. Sorry.

2. Don't want to know, but maybe it's to protect them from the frigid conditions.

3. As the Halo Wars pagepoints out, they are wear a variation of the MJOLNIR Mark IV Armour, which means that they are probably part of the Spartan-I Program. Kerek 11:52, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

1. Maybe they are not the same model maybe a earlier model.

2. Protection.

3.they are Spartan II's a earlier version.

in answer to the questions at the top:

1. it could be an early version that was pulled out of service due to advancements in design

2.protection against the cold and the snow

3. they could be a small part of a lareger group in first strike pg. 23/24 104 splits red team into alpha beta delta & gamma --Fatman ninja 18:11, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

The armor must be the origonal MJOLNIR armor that had no shields. That would explain the different look to it. --Captain Jacob Rathens 21:12, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

1. Re:Why is there a battle rifle -- This is probably an earlier version the Battle Rifle 2. Re:Why do the elites have fat chest -- probably earlier armor 3. Re:What's with the omega crap -- These guys are probably Spartan-I's. This is taking place in the past before anything that's been done before. They probably have an earlier version of the MJOLNIR armor too. 4. Why can't the Jackals survive in that environment? They survived the cold on Alpha Halo 5. Does the ship in the middle of the picture of Spartan Group Omega looks like something besides a Pelican? -- Lordofmonsterisland "Roar to me 20:14, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

1. Although the battle rifle was not available in HALO:CE, versions were available concurrently with versions of the assault rifle in the HALO universe (ie: Novels). The battle rifle is not necessarily a descendant of the assault rifle; it's a different gun all-together. 3. In 2531 these would be teenage Spartan II's like John 117. Although we can read that spartan teams are usually given colors as names, a group may be much larger than a team. In the US / UNSC a group is a large inter-branch force comprised of units from both the Navy AND Marines (ex: an expeditionary group). 4. I agree, the wings are too long to be a pelican. It looks like a ****sword. Cucci 17:47, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

I have an idea why theres Battle Rifles in Halo Wars and not Halo: CE. In halo 1 you spend one level in the Pillar of Autumn. And your being rushed to Cpt. Keys and the Life Pod. The Master Chief Never Had time to get his weapons like they said in the begining that they had to skip the Weapon diagnostic because Cpt. Keys wanted him on the Bridge on the Double. He only grabbed weapons that were on the Ground. You almost the rest of the game on Halo with not much UNSC contact except Partners. And the Last level Had an armory but all the guns were really thrown around and the BR's couldve been an another armory.--MYH.Q.  · MY ORDERS ·  MY BAT TL  ES  01:21, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

The Spartans are S-IIs with Mk IV armour. S-Is didn't have special armour.--Maiar 10:03, 6 November 2008 (UTC) The Elites are probobly bulkier for protection against cold as they are reptiles(Jackels are warm blodded and would survive)

4. The ship seen in the first trailer is in fact not a Pelican. It is most likely a Shortsword bomber. 1. The Battle rifle was in 2525 only a prototype and will most likely not be in the game. In the most of the trailers the marines are equiped whit a standard MA5B --Archindar  21:45 17/11 2008 (GMT+1)

Speculation
I think Probably Kelly’s story --Climax Viod 19:23, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Kelly's story would be interesting, but I'm sure that Bungie will incorperate her and the remaining Spartans in Halo 3. From what we know, the first encounters of the Covenant didn't end too well for the humans. I'm sure the Spartans in Halo Wars will meet a ed above. In addition, I doubt that Bungie would allow another company to take over the developement of a game based around one of their major characters (going by the books). Most of us were dissapointed when Master Chief didn't appear as the Spartan for Dead of Alive. In his stead was Nicole, who was created so that the events in DoA would have no effect on the Halo Trilogy. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that this could be any of the Spartan II's we know, but they will probably be created as some of the unmentioned Spartan II's from the books.--Culpable Liable

Timeing It could be set anywere in between halo 1 and 32 years before halo 1 and the covenant-human war has been around for 32 years

Factions

As the game is set to be on or around 2531, the various resistance/rebel groups are likely to be playable sides in the game as well. The Spartans were primarily involved in battling these rebels and insurgencies before the covenant attacked and there is a unified rebel force large and capable enough to be a playable faction.Cucci 17:51, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

i speculate that their will be 4 main factions to start, The UNSC, The Covenant, The United Rebel Front, and The Heretics, but as you progress the Rebel faction will become non-playable and than the Covenant Separatists will become available, making the main Covenant non-playable and thrn making the Covenant Loyalists available. making the Covenant Seprestists fight along side the UNSC and the Heretics no-longer playable. with numerous pirate and smaller rebel factions (Eridanus Rebels) that you have to fight along the way and there may even be the flood and forerunners and if the game starts out during the Interplanetary War than there will be the Koslovics and the Frieden factions.

The "confirmed elements" list
Amongst the units in the list, There's is: Covenant Elite (With energy swords) I was thinking we could add Plasma Rifles to that list, becuase frankly, I doubt there's a Ghost shooting down those two marines at the "last known recon position"... 81.229.40.59 07:15, 29 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah that was kind of wierd. I still don't know how the elites were shooting the marines. There hands were empty even when they were close enough for the marines to shoot them. --EliteDeath 21:08, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


 * they all had swords. --RimFire 14:20, 7 December 2006 (UTC)


 * The beam shot was unlike any of the Covenant weapons. It was differently colored, kind of purplish, and larger than the Plasma pistol and rifle. It also killed a Marine in one hit, unlike in the other games where multiple hits had to do it. I dunno. Salty 02:36, 10 December 2006 (UTC)


 * it could be a kind of sniper that wasnt used in halo 1 and 2 -[[Image:Also_halo.jpg|20px]] яÏΜFÏяΣ [[Image:Halo.jpg|20px]] the rebel anarchist [[Image:Black_sun.jpg|35px]] 01:47, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Well, in the books, the Covenant weapons are stronger than in-game for realism. They're weaker in-game for balanced...ness... The plasma bolt probably looks different because it's a trailer, not actual gameplay. BTW, I'm E93. (didn't bother logging in)

It could be a new weapon or the Marine was already about to die (he was wounded) or because it was a trailer (a awesome one at that) it may have been been "Cinematic Exxagiration" or the elites shot the Marine in the Spinal Cord (instant death or Paralyzation) or Ensemble didnt ballance the weapons for the trailer i.e the invisble Energy Sword and the characthers werent balance (the elites didnt have Energy Sheilds.Some,none or all of the reasons above caused the instant pwnage of the marines.Oh one more reason the Elites threw the Energy Sword at the Marines (HIGHLY Unlikey.

Actually, it didn't kill him in one shot it just injured him, then the elite finished him off by stabbing him with his energy sword.--prophit of war 17:47, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Halogen?
There was a mod for "C&C Generals" called Halogen that was coming out, but Microsoft told them to shut down three years of hard work, saying they were infringing on copyright territory. That was before they officially announced Halo Wars; Halo Wars was announced about a month later. So wouldn't it be logical to assume that the reason Halogen was told to shut down in spite of Halo Wars? --StateoffFreedom 14:50, 30 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Reference Link (beware, it's biased but it was the only one that had the most information): http://www.joystiq.com/2006/09/13/ms-shuts-down-halogen-mod-why-now/
 * Oh Halogen looks good, this had better be better --Climax Viod 17:33, 2 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah I don't think it was fair to shut down halogen. --EliteDeath 21:08, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

I LOVE BASE BUILDING AND ARMY BUILDING RTS!!!


 * Its pure business. Why would Mircosoft want an RTS Halo mod out there, for free, just as they are about to release a full game? Answer is: they don't. They would rather flex their legal muscle, ban the game mod under "copyright infringement", then sell their RTS for $100. Basically, Microsoft would rather make maximum profit from HaloWars, and the best way to do that is to ensure that HaloWars will be the only Halo RTS out there. - Chaota 22:00, 3 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Whatever it is, I'll be so blam!ed off about it if Halo Wars isn't as good as Halogen was looking (twitching)Keyes 07:30, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I think that AFTER halo wars is released Microsoft should allow halogen to be released--Swearingmonk 20:19, 8 February 2007 (UTC) more like Fuckogen--Lyoko2198 07:05, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

New Tank/Vehicle??
On the right hand side of the cannon fodder picture is this. Anyone know what it is?Looks like an old tank.
 * I think it looks like the covenant footsoldiers are about to get pwned, but thats just me. But its probably just an older version of the scorpion tank from before halo 1 & 2. --EliteDeath 21:07, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
 * It actualy looks like a scorpion tank with it's cannon exploded
 * It cannot be a scorpion, if you look at a scorpion tank the wheels that move it do not look that way. Besides it has 2 in each side--Radzon 22:14, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * It looks more like a modern-day tank. Nothing like the Scorpions at all. Salty 02:43, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * But it couldn't be a modern tank, if this was way before the halo seriesRadzon 02:39, 14 December 2006 (UTC)


 * But all of today's tanks are modern tanks, and today is way before the Halo series.
 * I think it is a scorpian tank. An older version.Before the ones in Halo 1&2&3.--Spartan 1 1 7 22:09, 3 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Maybe it's some kind of self propelled artillery? --CommanderGree117 19:14, 30 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Actually now that I look at it. Kinda looks like a building. The part that looks like the wheels of a tank I can't explain. But...., If you look above that it does look lika a plat form. And that circular dome thing could be like a roof. Just saying.--Spartan 1 1 7 22:09, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

looks like that SCORPION just got pwn3d. the turrets come off, and the tread covers are gone too. that's what makes it look different. but i agree, there likely will be other vehicles in the game. like the Stealth Tank that got cut from Halo 1. - user:specops306

I'm just saying this right now because you mentioned the stealth tank, don't you think it would've been cool if it wasn't cut?--prophit of war 17:56, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh yeah! giving the humans a stealth tank would rock! It would have to be balanced against the Scorpion, but it would still rock! Kora ‘Morhekee The Battle-Net My Conquests. 20:04, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

I see a Scorpian tank NO DOUBT. it does have the quad treads(if you look a bit into the eplosiong, you can see the edge of the front pair of treads) and the top is obviously an exploded Scorpian turret. The reason you think it looks different is becuase its at a wierd angle and explosions cover the majority of the tank. 24.16.45.200 01:27, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

no Shit Sherlock--Lyoko2198 07:05, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Albatross, new?
How come the drop ship that appear in the trailer (possibly an albatross) does not appear or its mentioned in any other halo game and book?. The only thing i can think of is that it was replaced by other newer version,(the ship that appears in the map Relic from Halo 2).

looks like it

Well, having a large cargo dropship is pretty much a necessity for spacecraft wishing to land on a planet and for large scale movement like in a war, so it could be that it is only used on large scale invasions and the like, not for specialist teams of SPARTANS. At any rate the albatross could be used like a mobile building as was speculated at the very bottom of the article to spawn troops like a Galleon in Age of Empires 3.

I agree with you guys.--prophit of war 17:59, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, even by modern standards the Pelican can't carry very many marines, so there'd have to be larger dropships in the game. Kora ‘Morhekee The Battle-Net My Conquests. 20:09, 30 June 2007 (UTC

Why are the Elites so bulky?!?
Why are the Elites so big and bulky like? --Spartan 1 1 7 22:13, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

They are fat because in the early days of the war the elites didn't use the Jenny Craig or the Atkins diet plans, so the just ate what they want or who they want. They also didn't exercise as much; they were pretty much a bunch a couch potatoes and just watched the holograms all day. sogy

Actually, it looks like it's the armor that's bulky. Perhaps it's tailored for the cold environment of whatever world that is. -- Dragonc laws ( talk ) 00:07, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The armor has always been described as bulky, it doesn't look that different to me. -ED 23:00, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

No, if you look closely it does seem like thier armor is more bulky but it might but it might be for the reason that dragonclaws said that they might be that way becuase of the cold enviroment that they are fighting in and the marines also had something to cover their mouths ans their armor also seemed a little bigger. Or it might be they way their armor were made at that time make a guess. Radzon 20:54, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

but the cold enviroment woulnt make sense becuase in halo:CE assualt on the control room, and two betrales there in cold weather so why wouldnt they have bulky armor? Mendoza

@ Mendoza The reason they didnt have the bulky armor in the Artic parts of Halo was becuase it was a very short period of time...i hardley think the Proud Elites would bother replacing ALL of their armor just for one section of a large battle area...in Halo Wars...that area seen in the X06 Trailer was obviously much larger and colder...IE the Elites have to use that armor becuase they are fighing on a single terrain for an extended period. in the demo...you cant really see the Elite armor well...so my guess is that its normal again in the more desert terrain. 24.16.45.200 01:35, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

The reason the elite armor is different is because the trailer was mot made by bungie, and the people who did make it made the elites way out of proportion they are like ten feet tall in the trailer.

SparrowHawk!!!!
Yes! the transmission has fully loaded, revealing...what? the UNSC Sparrow Hawk. Could someone add it? or i'll try myself, but it might be a bit...messy. (EDIT) Oops, someone already did it...sorry for that. -- SpecOps306 19:21, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to say this, but there is going to bee a vehicles called the Cobra in Halo Wars, as of March. It was featured in the Gamepro magazine, and is currently a missile artillery unit. Quirel 06:09, 8 June 2008 (WTF)

Scarab Gun
What the hell i think they mean the scarab cannon

HALO: TFOR & HALO WARS
HALO: The Fall Of Reach and Halo Wars are the same thing except ones a bokk and the other is the game. Am I right? The Se7ens Haunt Me


 * Nope. The Master Chief never fights Covenant on an ice planet like that. Many people have speculated that it's on Harvest. Guesty-Persony-Thingy Early 90's to March 31, 2007. RIP. 19:29, 31 March 2007 (UTC)


 * But isn't halo wars when they first meet the "Covenant"

The Se7ens Haunt Me

wrong Harvest was but Harvest was not a Ice Planet how could plants grow there furthermore there was no ground fighting on Harvest and the Spartns didnt have Mjornir by that time


 * How can plants grow in the North Pole? but we have tropical rainforests at the equator! we've only seena portion of the planet, and we don't even know its Harvest. besides, the UNSC retook the planet under Admiral Cole later, by which time the Spartans would be fully kitted out with MJOLNIR. -- SpecOps306 06:31, 8 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Hmm... I knew about the Mjolnir but the first time they met the covenant and what not confused me. Thanx for clearing that up =]. WE STILL GET TO PLAY AS CHIEF RIGHT?!??!The Se7ens Haunt Me

Two Important Things

 * 1) 1 Why do you have a picture of the Chiefs helmet from Starry Night?? That is for Halo 3, not Halo Wars.


 * 1) 2 Who confirmed that the Omega SPARTANS could not be SPARTAN-III (Or -IV)? We don't know when the cinematic takes place, we just know that part of the game will take place during the first Covenant encounter -- But all of it will take place before Halo 1.

They are probably SPARTAN-IV in MJOLNIR Mk IV armor. Ackerson got the DNA (Halsey found his files in FoR) in order to make adult clones of the SPARTAN-II mass produced for SPARTAN-III, but that was shot down. When he went absent for those 15 or so years prior to 2540, I believe he acted on his initial desires to make SPARTAN clones.

This would explain Maria "starting a family" (coverup for "being a template for clones") and Chiron TL34 "Spartan Clone Training Complex" that was on a Halo in Halo 1 MP.

Arbiter?
Is it just me, or were the elites wearing semi-Arbiter armor? oh, and do you think there will be heros?--NOTreal 15:46, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

well the UNSC will no doubt have a spartan (maybe the chief) and the covenant will probably have an arbiter --Garyclementspunji 23:00, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure but it is possible that it will be like Star Wars Battlefront 1 & 2(Description of Star Wars Battlefront:You have an army and you control one soldier at a time.You can play in 3rd or 1st person.You are not in formations like in Age of Empires.).That way would be awesome!My friends will S**T THE F*** U* talking about Age of Mythology and all that other real time B*** S***.

I posted same topic on the Halo 3 dusscusion page. Because as you might know Bungie loves the number 7 since they have put it in in so many parts of the game. Like, 7 Halos, John-117, and Arbiter is seven letters long. Since the date 7/7/07 is coming maybe Bunjie will do something speacial like give us some super hot info.

"5 Fingers Instead of 4"
Could someone remove this because after watching the video a number of times the Elite in question does not have five fingers. It has the usual four. I seriously doubt the creators of the video would make such an obvious anatomical mistake with a well known enemy type within the Halo universe.

Gameplay?
Are you gonna control a single soldier and command the others with something like a Cross-Comm in GRAW, or are you gonna control everything at once?I'm confused.=( Spartyti m  e  Talk  14:00, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

you are gonna be controling everthing on your side like marines,tanks and also managing resources like any other RTS, so ya you are gonna control everything at once. Mendoza 7:10, 15 july

MAC Bombardment Power
the Spirit of Fire's MAC fires 6 shots heh kinda a lot dont ya think? --UNSC AI 16:48, 27 August 2007 (UTC)


 * If your talking about how UNSC ship are only a bull to 1 round at a time, I thought it was some sort of special round designed for orbital bombardment--MCDBBlits 03:30, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Maybe it has six different MAC's? I mean, it is a converted colony ship - and if it's anything like the Marathon colony ship from the game of the same name (Made out of one of the moons of mars!) then it could easily have way more!  Kora ‘Morhekee   The Battle-Net  My Conquests.  06:09, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

The easiest explanation is the simplest: it's just a storyline error. Fact of the matter is a Mac Round hitting the Earth would have destroyed that entire area, the marine encampment and the Covenant both. I like to just pretend it's Archer Missiles or something akin that the ship is firing. InnerRayg 19:41, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The trivia section is coreect though. MAC rounds fire at 40% of the speed of light, which is almost 270,000,000 miles per hour. A six hundred ton object traveling at that speed would be immense; if it collided with a planet it would leave a crater the size of Rhode Island. It could crack a continent in half. -- E D [[Image:ArmyROTC.gif|15px]] 09:32, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, the shots could come from a Mass Driver, you know like the one they used on Harvest, but that the producers accidently called it a MAC Gun due to their similarities. It could also be a much smaller version of the MAC, designed to take down heavy vehicles ( Scarabs ).

--Matt-256 13:04, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

That's assuming that all MAC's fire the same size projectile, too. A smaller projectile has less kinetic force, and would do less damage.  Specops306 ,  Kora 'Morhek  00:44, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I think it would be safe to say that different rounds are avialable, think of it this way weapons can fire a wide variety or rounds, grenade, tracer, armor piercing, rubber, etc. In the military Artillery is key *which makes me wonder why we dont see any in the halo series* so it would be smart to have an orbiting ship about to do such a thing. That way the infantry gets fire support without the risk of the artillery being attacked *at least not from the ground*Hollywood 23:22, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I you pause at 9:39 on the youtube version. You can see they dont look like mac rounds at all. --Ammaraskar 08:57, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

A Few Things
1. probable game types and factions

a) UNSC UNSC campagn

b) covenant covenant campagn

c) rebels? rebel campagn

d) skirmish

e) conquest? (like galactic conquest from star wars battlefront)

2. questions

a) would you be able to play as the rebels from the fall of reach

b) will there be covenant aircrafts

c) will there be things better then the pelican, shortsword, sparrowhawk or sky hawk

d) will there be an MCV or what

e) will the elephant be useable

f) will the elephat be the MCV --Garyclementspunji 00:46, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Firstly, all of 1 is likely except a rebel campaign is likely. To be honest, I wouldn't want to play as a rebel.

Secondly, I'll try to answer the questions in 2:

A) No. Just...no.

B) Yes, the Banshee, and probably a few of the Dropship. Maybe Seraphs as bombers.

C) Maybe.

D) ?

E) Was the Elephant even around then?

F) See above.

Friendly fire
Does anyone else see a Warthog running directly over a Marine at about 6:49 in the E3 '07 video, and he just stays standing? I hope that's just a debug code they had on. --Andrew Nagy 06:23, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Friendly fire is something that simple doesn't exist in RTS games, with a few notable exceptions. Otherwise you could whipe out half your army in friendly fire before they get a chance to shoot the enemy. --Ajax 013 16:32, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Bungie made units smart enough to not constantly teamkill; I don't see why it should be impossible for Ensemble. And people who suck badly enough to wipe out their own army should be playing on Easy anyway. Myth got away with allowing friendly fire, and that was ten years ago.
 * Debug codes, on the other hand, are something it would make perfect sense for a demo video to use. --Andrew Nagy 03:25, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, my other complaint so far is that the game is shown wrenching control away from the player in the middle of a battle just to give the Scarab a dramatic entrance. Not cool. --Andrew Nagy 06:12, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, 1; that was a video demonstration, and 2; was it really that long? Halo 3 jerks you out of your point of view to show you stuff - you can just skip it. I'm sure Ensemble can do the same in Halo Wars.  Specops306 ,  Kora 'Morhek  23:35, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Another Bit of Trivia
Marathon took place on a colony ship right i will let you guys decide if this is anything or not


 * No. They were completely different - one is an actual ship, the other was made from a moon. And the game won't take place on the ship, but on the planet.  Specops306 ,  Kora 'Morhek  04:38, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

BR55HB SR
You can see from the trailer that the rifle being used by the Marines is actually the older BR55. Recommend a correction.

Theory on Storyline
As some of you know, a few screenshots have depicted Covenant and UNSC forces doing battle on hilly, grass covered terrain. In some of those same screenshots, it shows a Halo (or what looks like a Halo) in the background.

Does anyone else think that we're only hearing a small portion of the actual storyline. Perhaps the storyline does not just cover Harvest, but may involve other important events, such as the Battle of Installation 04, or even the Battle of Installation 00.

Any thoughts?--72.141.217.254 00:32, 26 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm not so sure about the Halo. It may have been a part of the campaign, but since it takes place more than twenty years before Halo: CE, I think its more probably a multiplayer map. I think it's pretty obvious that Ensemble are going to keep the lid on the plot of Halo Wars until its released - look at what Bungie did with Halo 3, and we had people complaining about spoilers. Then again, any speculation is going to be absolutely irrelevant until the game comes out.  Specops306 ,  Kora 'Morhek  00:16, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Forerunner Playable
Okay, I know that it was "confirmed" by Ensemble and all that, but can we really put that up right now. I mean, it's April Fool's Day. Not to completely deny the announcement, but... I don't think it is something that we can just put on the page without waiting a few days to see if it is truly going to be done. Excuse my trepidation, but I would just like to see how this plays out first. I mean, this isn't something that should be taken lightly in the Halo universe... and we know Bungie wouldn't have a problem doing this, who's to say Ensemble wouldn't do this kind of thing either.XRoadToDawnX 23:31, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

There is no debate whether this is true. Read the article, the original one. It links you to Wikipedia's page for "April Fools" when you click for the original source. And why would Ensemble not post this on their own website? And why would they laugh when they read it? And why, oh why would they wish you a happy first of april at the end of it?

SPARTANs can has Civvie Warthogs too!
After studying images from the Halo Wars website and comparing them with confirmed game elements from the Halo Wars E3 2008 events, I've come to the conclusion that it HAD to be SPARTANs driving the three civilian warthogs in this screenshot. I've already submitted this and it got PUT OUT! Come on guys!

Cover Art
Are the SPARTANs on the cover not meant to have Mark.IV not Mark.V?

That is mark IV 67.184.16.75 01:32, 4 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Apparently sometime between the first trailer and now, Ensemble decided the original look of the Mark IV wasn't what they wanted. So they changed it to one more reminiscent of the later Mark V. I think it's a smart move, especially in a chronological sense - before, the Mark IV and Mark IV were the norm with the Mark V as the odd one out. Now the Mark IV is setting the pattern for its successor, and then the Mark VI builds on that, streamlining the concept further. --  Councillor  Specops306  -  Kora   'Morhek  11:29, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Flood in Halo Wars?!
At the end of the new trailer, I saw the Flood, doing something which I don't care. How could it be? I mean Halo Wars is set before Halo 1. Can someone explain? Please and thank you. `` [] 18.20, 13 October 2008


 * I dont understand that either because the first time the covenant or humans meet the flood (or the sentinals) was H1 wasn't it?


 * All we know is that the Flood was first officially encountered in 2552. That leaves room for unofficial encounters, perhaps as an ONI cover-up? Learning about another xenocidal alien entity would have caused panic, so they probably kept quiet until the events of Halo:CE. --  Councillor  Specops306  -  Kora   'Morhek  22:17, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

--Ammaraskar 08:36, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Canon's been shot out a cannon
Flood? Spartan Lasers? etc.? There are some major canon issues in Halo Wars in my opinion. I reckon Halo Wars will come out, Bungie will look at it, and say "there's far too much stuff in this game that isn't canon", and so eventually, they'll say "OK, it's a great Halo game, but since so much of the storyline has been changed, this game is no longer canon".


 * The BR55 was introduced in 2525. It only saw full introduction in 2552. I don't see why the Spartan laser can't exist as a prototype in Halo Wars, especially if it's ONLY Spartans who can use them. And as for the Flood thing, let's just wait and see when the game finally comes out. --  Councillor  Specops306  -  Kora   'Morhek  10:27, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

The challenge
Question time; Are any of you brave and smart enough to create a Machinima using Halo Wars? I've got plans, but not for a while yet. But what about you?

How do you exactly plan on doing this? This is not an FPS and that means there will be no up-close versions of the characters. You would have to be very stupid or a genious to try to make a good one, and geniouses are not easy to come around these days 67.184.16.75 20:31, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

I remember when this page was so small, I had to add a stub tag to it. Now, a few months later, it is so huge I can't even read the whole thing. I can't wait until Halo Wars is released this Winter, a month after the Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack!

Isn't there a 3rd trailer with the warthogs in the snowy area? Why isn't that up? Bioniclepluslotr 00:22, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Did anyone see Honor Guards?
The page sez it and so does the template regarding the Halo Wars Covenant units, but I've never seen any screenshot, video or concept art showing Honor Guards in game... Why are they mentioned then? 19.30 24 November (UTC)

Harvest picture Caption
If the picture of Harvest is of it being glassed then you guys who are currently running Halopedia have the wrong caption on it, because there are plasma blasts on the planet surface. It says when you click on it that it is Harvest is being glassed.
