*'''Devine''': "So let's jump back to our base. Using the D-Pad, I can jump around the map very quickly. I can jump back to my base, back my battles, and back to my armies." | *'''Devine''': "So let's jump back to our base. Using the D-Pad, I can jump around the map very quickly. I can jump back to my base, back my battles, and back to my armies." | ||
''The reticule moves to one of the vehicle depots and selects the building.'' | |||
*'''Devine''': "Selecting the vehicle depot... brings up what we consider one of the most important menus in the game — the circle menu. It takes up the whole screen. We use it for everything from building infantry to building vehicles, building buildings, and calling leader powers. I got around it using the analogue joystick, and I can select any of the vehicles here." | |||
''The Warthog option is selected.'' | |||
*'''Devine''': "Pressing A, I can make a Warthog." | |||
''A Warthog exits the depot immediately.'' | |||
*'''Devine''': "The Warthog is perhaps one of the most iconic vehicles in the ''Halo'' games. Everyone knows what the Warthog sounds like, looks like, feels like, drives like. So getting it right in ''Halo Wars'' is really important." | |||
''The Warthog is commanded to move around the base.'' | |||
*'''Devine''': "We built a lot physics into the engine; it fishtails around, it moves, and drives, just like the Warthog from the ''Halo'' games, and you will see this with other vehicles we have too." | |||
''The second vehicle depot is highlighted.'' | |||
*'''Devine''': "So I'm going to build another Warthog here." | |||
''A second Warthog exits from the second depot immediately.'' | |||
*'''Devine''': "Now let's go up, and re-engage those Covenant." | |||
''The Warthogs approach the Covenant infantry and they do battle.'' | |||
*'''Devine''': "I'm doing much better this time." | |||
''The Warthog moves up, running over some Unggoy before firing at another lance ahead.'' | |||
*'''Devine''': "Another good way to take out the Covenant is always to run over them." | |||
''The second Warthog moves up.'' | |||
*'''Devine''': "I'm getting some real-time damage there on my Warthog." | |||
''Together, the two Warthog eliminate the lance.'' | |||
*'''Devine''': "This is a really good time to look at the graphics we have in the game. The beautiful shadows and lights." | |||
''The view holds over the Warthogs and a tunnel entrance.'' | |||
*'''Devine''': "So, territory control is also really important in real-time strategy games." | |||
''The views continues down the path in front of Warthogs.'' | |||
*'''Serina''': "Whoa boys, picking up some really big stuff in front of you! Reinforcements are on the way!" | |||
