Its seperate, its an RTS Game based before the first halo game happened. And then theres also Halo3 being its original FPS based after Halo2

rts is real time strategy :)

its a shame microsoft halted all halo mods, or mods of other games making them into halo, for example halogen for generals...
o well, that does look pretty sweet :)

wow, I know that was only a cutscene, but wow.. That was awesome.. I especially liked the elites. They look sooo much more like an alien should than in halo 1&2.

they said the cut scene was the in game engine. So probably if you zoom into units during gameplay they will look similar to the cut scene :biggrin:

:wacko:

"Q: Is the trailer pre-rendered?
A: Yes, and it's based around our world concepts and uses lots of in-game models. The sound and music were done at Ensemble Studios as well. Props to our friends at Blur for bringing it all together and making it really shine."

so um, no dice to the game engine, just a team of highly talented poeple sitting behind computers for hours :love:
blur is a fantastic studio, anyone wanting to see the highest level of game cinematics should check them out :D
expect that kind of polycount/particle count and texture size in games come the age of commercial 80 core chips ;)

I guess you wouldn't then. :D

I'm looking forward to it, and I thought spending $600+ on a 360 was a waste of money.. ha!

Looks very cool, I watched a trailer. I don't think it will ever live up to Red Alert 2 though.

Just another halo game that you will get bored the next day. Never buy a game because of the trailer, it's in no way the real game.
