'''''Halo Wars''''' is the first [[real-time strategy]] game in the [[Halo universe|''Halo'' franchise]]. The events in game took place in the year [[2531]], 21 years prior to ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', during the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] assault on the [[Outer Colonies]] in the [[Human-Covenant War]]. The game was developed by [[Ensemble Studios]], and is an Xbox 360 exclusive, like all other ''Halo'' games. Unlike other ''Halo'' games, ''Halo Wars'' is rated "T" for Teen, downgraded from the "M" for Mature given to previous installments. In the UK, the game is a 16+ game, while its predecessor ''Halo 3'' is a 15+ game although this is due to the two games using different rating boards (PEGI is stricter than the BBFC). Downloadable content and support were being developed by [[Robot Entertainment]], a studio founded by ex-Ensemble Studios employees after its closing. | '''''Halo Wars''''' is the first [[real-time strategy]] game in the [[Halo universe|''Halo'' franchise]].

The release of ''Halo Wars'' fulfilled the original concept that ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' was supposed to be a real-time strategy game, before being turned into a third-person shooter, and then a first-person-shooter. | The release of ''Halo Wars'' fulfilled the original concept that ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' was supposed to be a real-time strategy game, before being turned into a third-person shooter, and then a first-person-shooter.
