Halo Wars

Must Have Content

Halo is easily one of the biggest franchises in gaming, and when Microsoft announced the development of Halo Wars, the Ensemble Studios-developed real-time-strategy game set in the Halo universe, it was met with equal amounts of cynicism and anticipation. Well, Halo Wars has finally received its marching orders and is readying its attack on those who believe a great real-time strategy game simply can't exist on a home console. With the troops ready for deployment, we've managed our resources to build the ultimate home base and supply you with a Flood of intel in this special GameTrailers.com Launch Center for Halo Wars. Ten-hut!

X06 TRAILER

This was the trailer that introduced Halo Wars to the world and in it we got our first look at combat on a whole new scale. Insightful viewers also got a glimpse of the troop units and vehicles we would be commanding. What would the game play like? Where in the Halo story would it occur? What characters would we see? Hints are dropped in this premiere trailer that left us wanting more while ominously stating "If they want war, we’ll give them war." And that’s exactly what they did.

VIDEO DOCUMENTARY

CALL TO BATTLE TRAILER

After a series of informative vignettes, this trailer was deployed with one objective in mind; getting us pumped for Halo Wars. If that was the directive, then consider the mission complete.

IN THE BEGINNING

The concept of a Halo-themed, console-exclusive RTS is certainly interesting, and in most players’ opinions, completely risky. So, where did the original idea come from? This documentary answers just that through interviews with Ensemble staff that break down the game’s core objectives.
