The RTS (Real Time Strategy) game Halo Wars is coming to the Xbox 360 on March 3 for North America, February 26 in Japan and the Pacific, and February 27 for the EU. The long awaited top down strategy game was the original incarnation created by Bungie before Halo: Combat Evolved was developed as a FPS (First Person Shooter). The time setting for Halo Wars is set before the original RTS and Halo: Combat Evolved when the UNSC first encounters the Covenant. Halo Wars is designed by a different studio altogether, probably since Bungie has they’re hands full with other projects. No doubt Bungie is overseer to Ensemble Studios located in Dallas who is developing the game. Ensemble is the same developer who created the award winning Age of Empires series of games. Halo Wars is definitely in the right hands!

Quote from Ensemble: ” We’ve spent a great deal of time simply on getting the controls right. Halo Wars was created for the Xbox 360 from the ground up, which meant we didn’t have to make compromises or shoe-horn in artifacts from a Windows PC game. We were able to take all the best aspects of RTS games, make them work perfectly on the Xbox 360, and exclude the rest.”
