My two favourite Halo evironments: green hills and snow!

Has a PC version been announced? I'd never play a RTS on a console.

No, and Ensemble Studios has stressed again and again there won't be one. This is specifically made for the 360, but it's not like there aren't any RTS's for PC.

PC does have many RTSes but they don't differ that much from each other in terms of settings or themes. There aren't many sci-fi RTSes on the PC with the rich mythology of Halo. Halo Wars would be a nice addition to the PC library

the almighty pc doesn't need ports of lowly console games

Does look nice. Current games with isometric views look secksy. See also: titan quest.

Some concept art from the official website. The first one is called The Spirit of Fire and the campaign centers around this ship and its crew. Last ones are various wildlife creatures.

Halo Wars is neat, but I cant imagine it stacking up against the army of PC RTS' that await it.

Those art sketches are niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

So much bull in those shots.

Leave it up to some other studio to finally elevate Halo above the shit art trenches.

Bungie artists

huh? Have you seen some of the vistas or art piece from Halo 3? It's actually really good, certainly not shit art.

Kestastrophe · « **Reply #15 on:** July 02, 2008, 02:13:59 PM »

It kind of looks like Halo got the WOW-art treatment ala Diablo 3, even though Halo wasn't that drab before. What's up with duckman trolling today?

Quote from: Kosma on July 02, 2008, 02:12:21 PM

I'm ofcourse comparing it to DAWN 2

Nothing looks like that though

Halo has always had a bright color scheme.

Not always in environments. These look to have more color

Here's comparable environment from Halo 3.
Distance shot of Avalanche

Level 8 (the covenant) looks a lot like the green picture.

Some others

I like the Halo setting/atmosphere, love RTSes, like Ensemble.

Will buy.
