 Unlike [[Halo Wars E3 2007 Demo|the pre-recorded demo from E3 2007]], a work-in-progress build of ''Halo Wars'' was presented by Dave Pottinger, the Lead Designer at Ensemble Studios.
-Ensemble Studios showcased a game of [[Skirmish]] on the map ''[[Labyrinth]]'', during which the player has access to the [[Firebase]] and its buildings, including the [[UNSC Airpad|Airpad]], [[UNSC Barracks|Barracks]], [[UNSC Field Armory|Field Armory]], [[UNSC Reactor|Reactor]], [[UNSC Supply Pad|Supply Pad]], [[base turret]], and the [[UNSC Vehicle Depot|Vehicle Depot]]. Pottinger explained the basic real-time strategy gameplay and user interface, both of which have been streamlined for console. Notable additions to the RTS genre include Leader powers, which allow players to call in [[carpet bombing]] or [[Heal and Repair]] their units, and special abilities unique to each unit, such as Spartan-IIs [[Boarding|hijacking enemy vehicles]].
