Halo Wars - CES 09: Snowy Gameplay (Cam)

See the gameplay footage of Halo wars at ces 2009

[omega7]

cant believe that this game would be released on the same day as Killzone 2 especially in Europe and middle east LOL

seriously this game should have been canned. It looks worse than too human

[No]

Yeah that's strange that this game would be released on the same day as Kill zone 2 also strange thing is it will sell more than Kill Zone 2 now that's Funny.

[omega7]

Killzone will sell 5x as this game in USA (minimum)

HW wont even get 5/6 from gaming wesbites

It will do worse than 2 human

even GTA4 and pes x360 bombed in europe. This game will do even worse than 2 human

[JaggedSac]

Ensemble knows RTS games. This will be awesome. First day purchase for me.

[omega7]

Haaaaaaa another joke??

u see the gameplay which is worse than any RTS ever made

[thenickel]

What does HW have to do with KZ2? If HW sales does better in sales then I'm going to crack up at you dumb azz lol.

[JokesOnYou]

damm omega7=nasim your latest account is only about an hr old yet its filled with a bunch of anti-360 BS comments already you even posted this SD vid and was the first to comment just to spew your hate. I wonder why you think HW which is an RTS is competing with KZ2?, ahhh nevermind, I doubt you have a logical answer....

Edit: ^^^^ ha, exactly what I was thinking thenickel

JOY

[Dread]

wow the haters always troll anything that is halo news. (and ms news for that matter)

i love halo, but i realize that as an rts in a console it will not sell nearly as well. however, the game looks great and i really hope ensemble pulls it off. if anyone can do it, it is them.. lets hope so.

it is a day one buy for me. Perhaps you guys could enjoy it if you stop ur hating.

i mean, i am also looking forward to killzone 2. just because it is playstation exclusive i am not going to hate on it. even though i did not enjoy the first one, i have to admit that i am super excited to play the sequel at my friends house.

[JOLLY1]

Thanks for posting this video. That was awesome! I can't wait for this to come out.

[Sarcasm]

OoO yay ooohhHh yay

(goes back to killzone 2 videos)

Actually Halo Wars looks pretty fun. I'd play it.

[OOG]

poor nasim he tries so hard..... and yet everyone can always tell its him...does he have a mental illness???? most likely.... how many accounts has he made now 100?

[sirbigam]

People will buy it thinking "ooh another Halo cool cover art", they won't even realize that it's n RTS. If I were them marketing I would just show nice cinema videos, and blown up combat picks.

[MiloGarret]

Nasim, at first your comments were annoying, then I started thinking they were funny, now it's just sad. You're clearly obsessed with this consolewar, and perhaps even slightly insane. Seek help, this is not a joke, I'm actually concerned for a fellow human being. Seek help.

On topic: don't care about this game, its an rts on a console... Ensemble might be good devs and whatever, but this is not appealing to me at all.

[thewhoopimen]

Doesn't HW kind of remind you of Starcraft with AofEmpire like pacing? that's the feeling that I get from looking at the game.

[ThanatosDMC]

I all ready heard the most annoying thing in the game that you might have to constantly hear.

"All units"

Anyway, if it's an RTS why do i only see a handful of units on screen? They better release a better version of the game in PC. The idea is promising, the execution sucks monkey _____.

[phosphor112]

"All units. All units. All units."

Looks fair. It wont be getting any love from me though, sorry. I haven't played an RTS since Red Alert 2.

[omega7]

What a lame gameplay

this will be sent to die against Killzone 2.

cant believe that this sheet game will be released on the same day in europe and Middle east (sony's territory where ps3 overtook x360 ages ago (PAL region)

[caffman]

got nothing better to do have you?

[Rocky87]

I did not buy a Xbox 360 for such a game. Damn that's pretty sad.
I hope there will be other games 2009.

[omega7]

no one in the right mind will purchase this game

[interrergator]

im not gettin it kuz i dont like rts

[WANNA GET HIGH]

A lame as thie looks it will sell more than killzone2 because MS will market this game more than sony will market killzone2.Thats just a fact.But im getting killzone2.

[Helghast Slayer]

Wow! what a lump of junk. This against the likes of killzone2 is practically suicide. But then again no matter how crap it is retards will still buy it just because it has the name halo. I feel sorry for the millions of uninformed rats who buy this turd. Play beyond suckas.

[omega7]

But not something like HW which is just bad like too human

No fanboyism but no next gen game can dare launch against Killzone 2

[thenickel]

Wasn't the same type of crap said about KZ1? You people seem to have a short term memory and are much worst then even Halo fans. Here you have Halo fans just talking about the magic of it and then you have KZ2 fanboys talking about nothing can compare and stupid stuff. I really hope KZ2 does well but if it doesn't you guys kind of deserve it.

[Eiffel]

Where are you people getting this "Shooter against Shooter" Bullsh!t.
Killzone 2 and Halo Wars are not even in the same genre. No one said this game was competing with the other.

Jesus christ dumbasses.

[JaggedSac]

Wow, this site is over run by PS3 fanboys and they are insecure about M$'s choice to send in a Halo game to compete for sales.

[omega7]

insecure???

MS will never have anything that can respond to KZ2...

Not to mention games which will have new genre --Heavy Rain

and also super satisfying Uncharted 2

x360 is dead and so is Halo franchise??

did u even look at the gameplay? i guess not HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[Keele]

This game will beat Suckzone 2 to the ground.

NO SURPRISE THOUGH, CAUSE SUCKZONE 2 SUCKS!!

[n4gzz]

This game looks crap and probably sell more than KZ2 with better reviews all around from unknown so called gaming sites.

After all this is AAA title for 360.

[omega7]

only an abnormal will give this game anything more than 6.

it is just a bad looking and bad playing game

[caffman]

because you are as abnormal as they come

[thereapersson]

It reminds me of Starcraft, which is always a good thing.

[Dread]

how dare you complement an ms exclusive. shame on you

hurry up and say something positive about killzone or Sony . i know this thread is about halo and ms but remember
u r in n4g, the Sony defense Zone.

[InMyOpinion]

As with Starcraft I think Halo Wars is a game that is funnier to play than it is to watch.

[Sarcasm]

"funnier to play than it is to watch. "

Joke is too easy... n/m

I'll just go on topic instead.

Halo Wars is looking good.

[InMyOpinion]

Lair is an example of the opposite. Hyped because of what it looks like, not what it plays like. Name one RTS game that is truly exciting(exicting even) to watch?

[OOG]

I was thinking the same thing...reminds me of Starcraft from the video...and how would that be a bad thing???

[No]

I'm a very very proud owner of a ps3 so it makes me very jealous we don't have a game like Halo if only we had maybe we wouldn't be in 3rd place. So for us all ps3 owner please Sony beg Microsoft for Halo PLEASE.

[omega7]

even dog sheet looks better than HW and Halo 3 at 600p

[caffman]

you talk enough of it

[Ninjamonkey82]

Dragging the Halo name threw the dirt his game imo.

[InMyOpinion]

He threw what?

[Space_cancer]

This has nothing to do with the Killzone.

The thread is not about your Killzone and Sony love. It´s about Halo Wars, so how about you getting the fuk out of here and let the people who actually looking forward to this game have some mature discussion about it.

Fanbois like you should be getting their arse Killzowned in a local gay bar. But hey, it´s nothing new to you guys.

[Dread]

i completely agree

they need to troll and try to sabotage any discussion about games for ms. it is pathetic really.

the sackboys are not content in talking about killzone in any of the hundred of killzone threads. they need to spread it here to.

[WANNA GET HIGH]

Nice try but we all know ur a 360 fan boy.Now go and flush ur head in the toliet in ur pic... :/

[ph3lid]

yeah, just the best games for the 360.

can't wait.

lol@PS3

[yoghurt]

There is one reason this will sell - its Halo.

[Sarcasm]

And there is another reason why it could be the most traded in game ever. It's an RTS.

After the Halo 3 fan picks it up. Put's the game in. And realizes he cant shoot anything. Good bay Halo Wars.

But not me, I dig it. I love starcraft, and this is right up my alley.

[Halochampian]

Ensemble may have something to do with sells. I know RTS's aren't meant for consoles, but they are trying their hardest to make this work.

I hope it works out.

[123360]

thank f*ck i own both systems,killzone versus this sh*t what are ms thinking of its crap.i knew it as soon as they announced the price cut the exclusives would dry up.this ain,t worth a download it looks like an arcade game at best.new ips ms are needed not dlc,exspansion packs talk about been the laughing stock,ps3 fanboys must be smiling across the globe.

[snipermk0]

Not just smiling.. Laughing and prolly LMFAO'in all over the floor.

[snipermk0]

meh... M$ is milking the halo franchise wayyyyyy too much but I don't think they really care since all they want is to steal some thunder from KZ2.

[BlackRaven85]

Since when is Halo being milked like Mario, like Pokemon? Look, it's only the third game, and done by a completely different company, with different ideas. The fourth isn't even a full game, it's an expansion to Halo 3. So, no, it's not being milked at all. Go back to trolling somewhere else. Since when is it compare to Killzone 2 anyway? Did you get a sneak peek at Killzone 2 having RTS inputted in the game? Wow, you really are the man. Look, Killzone 2 is going to be a great game. But to compare it to this is just plain stupid.

Back on topic, it's looking like a really good game. But I would need to play it in order to make my final judgment. Given this isn't a PC RTS, and was built for 360 in mind, I would assume the controls to be great.

[DOOMZ]

yep!

[RadientFlux]

from the video it looking like Halo Wars is going to revolutionizes console RTS controls

[Chicken Chaser]

poor nasim..desperate as always...now he's back after hiding for 3 months of ownage

he predicted:

Resistance outselling and outscoring Gears 2 worlwide- Failed

LBP outselling Fable II worlwide and killing the whole 360 console - Failed - lol

PS3 outselling the xbox 360 by 3 millions in EU and chartrack confirmed 360 its outselling the ps3 by more than 1 million - Failed

Ensamble owns RTS

Nasim welcome back ! Thanks for all your failed predictions!! Keep em coming! cus you know horse $hit but atleast you keep trying!!

hahahahaha

[N4360G]

Halo is awesome,but RTS games suck.But who knows? Maybe Halo Wars will be the game to get me into RTS games.

[Samer305]

I wish this can make it to pc later on. Or at least be able to use a keyboard and mouse for the game. I remember the red alerts on the ps1 and they were hard to play. Reminds me sort of like tiberium wars.

[123360]

they just killed halo period.its a joke aaa my arse its an arcade game at best,the worst part to this new comers will think that,s halo, better trade this sh*t in for a ps3 have you seen killzone,no doubt about it my 360 has a lot of dust to collect this year.

[Sean Ryno]

Troll. Your not even a PS3Fanboy, your a M$Hateboy. You represent all the kind of people I hate. Why did you even come into THIS forum? In order to improve, all you need to do is LEARN a little about the development on this game in order to give it some respect.

First day buy for me. B/C RTS has proven to work on consoles (and yes, 'Halo'.

LOTRBFME2- despite it's bad online, it was friggin captivating
C. and C.- super popular has done very well on the 360.
Sup Com - Despite it's move to console tech shortcomings, this game proves that the controller doesn't have to limit the player nearly as much as all the pc fans love to scream it does.

BTW: Just so you know, I have NEVER gone to a PS3 topic forum to say anything, much less anything nearly as abysmally ignorant as your little post there.

Have a nice day. :)

[kodiak]

poor ps3 fanboys. Already scared of this game

[Tony P]

If you're calling the game crap just from seeing the video, you probably just don't like RTS as a genre. Because I can't think of anything in the video which points at specific crappy features in HW and none of the naysayers have listed any.

On the other hand, I can't say if Halo Wars will be great, but I will say it's an interesting experiment in console RTS.

[OlvaR]

just look at that 9 out of 10 comments are from sony fanboys...xbox owners actually play xbox and ps owners are commenting in xbox section in a game that they don't care...now thats a waste of time....now thats funny....i don't have a problem with a ps3 since i own one so i can play the exclusives but what the hell are you commenting on a game thats not on your platform for a franchise that you don't care? sorry but i find totaly nuts the whole situation...

[anubis12]

lol why are f@gs comparing this with killzone....lol i think there scared or just really sad.

[Graphics Whore]

Have you not seen the release date for it? Halo Wars should be pushed back just for marketing sake.

[Killzonegamer83]

To those that say this will outsell Killzone 2 are just plain delusional. Do you guys think Halo fans are stupid and dont do research on games? Trust me, true halo fans will do their research and find out its not worth buying. Im willing to bet anything Killzone 2 will not only outsell this but will outsell it by 2:1

[AngryHippo]

....lets just try and stay on topic, this is not about Killzone 2 in any way, shape or form.

'Trust me' lol, someone who has 'Killzonegamer83' as their name?! Halo fans should listen to you, and you know what Halo fans want do you?!

'Im willing to bet anything Killzone 2 will not only outsell this but will outsell it by 2:1', fair enough, I really wouldn't underestimate this game, might end up coming back to haunt you. Strong claims, probably best to wait and see though, instead of preaching how great a game will sell before its actually released. Nothing is for certain, ever, in console gaming.

[THE_BATTLERAGER]

this looks like crap. Try a PC release and it *might* be decent. Then again PC competition (starcraft, dawn of war, empire total war) would leave this game for dead. Looks horrible, i hope people won't buy this just because of loyalty to halo. It isn't even a bungie game.

[Graphics Whore]

Errr... Gonna have to see more. I think it's a bad idea releasing it so close to such a high profile game as well, Microsoft's marketing strategy might back fire.

[Radiodread]

because the quality of their games just flat out sucks. HALO WARS = COMPLETE FAIL. Hell even ensemble is canned what makes you think think their game is gonna be any good? This is a really sad retaliation from M$ against sony's K2. LMFAO! Maybe the 3 hour Halo 3: ODST expansion pack might have had a slight chance against K2.......ummm wait nvm nope it doesnt even have a slight chance. Cya M$ after k2 is released M$ won't be selling SH!T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ultimolu]

Looks interesting for a strategy game.

[caffman]

you are only one of the only PS3 fans I have time for

[ultimolu]

I don't have the time or energy hating on 360 games anymore when a few of them do interest me.

Not a fan of Halo but this game does look interesting.

[MiloGarret]

ooops

[The Judderman]

Why are people comparing this to Killzone> This is a stratagy game not a fps. Its a spin off nothing more. When ODST is out by all means compare but this is stupid. Even more stupid is that this will probably sell more than Killzone just because it has the Halo name on it. Funny world.

[shovelbum]

I like my RTS with a mouse and keyboard but I'll give it a rent and see how it plays. As for sales who knows? Maybe with HALO in the title a new generation will be introduced to the intellectual world of RTS.

[Lord Xire]

Seriously...

This game looks like a clusterf*ck of pure non-biodegradable toxic trash that spewed from the rectum of something large and dead.

Ensemble getting shut down couldn't have been any more right.

This game is the epic fail of 2009 and shouldn't even be released.

MSFT please save yourself from this embarrassment of publishing a more then crap game.

Just in case. NO my account has not been hacked.

[kewlkat007]

...

[QQcrybaby]

This game will be in the same league as Dawn of War II and Starcraft II.

NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Srsly the fanboi arguments here are pretty funny. RTS belongs to the PC.

[gametheory]

This game doesn't look as exciting as any of the Age of Empires series. Either it was rushed or Microsoft ruined it by making it on consoles, or worse, the RTS genre is being ruined by shoving the Halo Franchise down Ensemble's throat.

Then again I could be wrong, but it doesn't look as Fun as Starcraft 2, let alone the graphics on starcraft 2 look much better. And that's considering the fact that consoles have still been able to keep up with PC and that 360 is very easy to develop for.

Why didn't they just make AoE 4 instead, that would have been a lot better. I wish "ensemble" was "re-assembled" ;)

[gametheory]

How old are you Nasim? I'm a PS3 fan but I live in reality. It seems that instead of "Live in your world, play in ours", Nasim thought it means "Live in our world, play in yours". Take a chill pill, dumbass.

Oh, and to all the Xbots picking on Nasim... You're not really better than him, it just happens that this particular generation your side of the fence is greener (at least according to the press). LMAO, you're all fanboys just like him.
