Halo Wars gone gold, demo drops Feb. 5th

Huzzah! Halo Wars has gone gold, and now RTS and Halo fans everywhere can look forward to a demo as well (with realistic expectations). Created by thee soon-to-be-defunct Ensemble Studios, Halo Wars is poised to drop players into (over?) the Halo universe to command UNSC forces around some very nice space scenery.

With the game now certified gold well in time for its late February release date, Microsoft is preparing a demo for eager Halo fans to arrive on the marketplace on February 5th. The demo will feature the first two levels of the single-player campaign along with one of the game’s fourteen multi-player maps, titled “Chasms”. Players should note that this map will only be playable in skirmish mode against the A.I., so they’ll have to wait until the full release if they want to play against friends.

Also of note is that the first Halo Wars Vidoc was released on Friday and is available for download on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

After the wonderful experience that was Endwar, I’m sure many players are looking forward to playing with a more traditional control scheme (no, not a keyboard and mouse, unfortunately) once again. Is anyone looking forward to playing this?

No.

Too bad this RTS isn’t on PC, like it should be. No matter how good you make the controls it’ll never be as smooth and quick to do anything as it is on PC. If it was on PC I’d buy it in a second.

To bad your mother ain’t on my cock which is as smooth as she would like and……

In fact. I can’t even be bothered. You are a sad little fucker and your parents hate you and rue the day the condom broke.

Cock faced McMonkey cunt.

WOW are you 13?

Comment by The_Glovner on 2009-01-26 22:04:57

Nope. Are you adopted?

Comment by H34RT 4TT4CK on 2009-01-26 22:26:45

Btw, I can bet this is not the real Glovner. From what I know, the Real G trounces on stupid trolls. Rizzle has an informed opinion of which I agree with and from my understanding, someone’s trolling as Glovner for the lulz. and Failed.

Fake Glovner, you fail it.

Comment by Veritas on 2009-01-27 00:32:55

I’ll laugh if you’re wrong. :P

It sucks that everyone always hacks the glovner, i feel sorry for him/her

I’m like a mystery wrapped up in an enigma coated in a film of controversy.

Comment by KultiVator on 2009-02-05 21:02:39

Did someone mis-spell enema?

;-P

You don’t want to get wrapped up in that… and I don’t care what kind of film coating ices your nasty-smelling cake!

You know it’s funny when you laugh at your own jokes.

Relevant to games why?

What you going to tell me next it will solve all the worlds overpopulation problems and make time travel possible if it is connected to a network of fifteen toasters?

You really are a fucking tube.

The only black hole they should be investigating is Sony’s bank balance.

Hey since relevancy is not important to Smitty, why not fight fire with fire?

Comment by Takumi on 2009-01-30 09:12:11

Although irrelvant that is pretty cool.

Comment by The_Glovner on 2009-01-29 21:06:03

Speaking of black holes… everybody should do my mom.

Comment by The_Glovner on 2009-01-30 09:10:42

Give yourself a pat on the back, your first real sentence.

Comment by The_Glovner on 2009-01-30 22:54:35

I have multiple personalities and sometimes I enjoy to abuse myself. Much like my mother used to do.

Comment by H34RT 4TT4CK on 2009-01-30 23:35:08

No, you only have an identity crisis, you realized that the real Glovner has a far better personality than yours.

Comment by The_Glovner on 2009-01-31 17:44:21

But I thought after last night we kissed and made up???

Comment by o Pizzle o on 2009-01-31 19:33:06

Rizzle you’re missing out man. RTS games on consoles have greatly improved. EndWar is a good example and so is Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars even Red Alert 3 was pretty solid on a console. Too bad you’re probably gonna miss out on a great game, all cause its on a console? Worst. Excuse. Ever. i played a mean Star Craft, War Craft, Star Wars Battalion, Homeworld, Freespace and was obsessed with the Command and Conquer series on all PC and no complaints. Quit whining and try something new, christ.

Comment by o Pizzle o on 2009-01-31 19:38:53

Star Wars Galatic Battlegrounds, not Battalion. My apologies, it’s been awhile since I played it lol

* dances seductively *

Open your heart
and I’ll make you love me.

Oh man, did Glovner just turn into a Meme?

Comment by The_Glovner on 2009-02-01 17:57:28

One of the sad little fucks that gets a kick out of writing under my name did.

Hey they need something in their life to make up for the constant nights of beatings and anal rape at the hands of their redneck father.

Comment by The_Glovner on 2009-02-01 19:42:07

Also, sometimes I touch myself while crying into my own reflection in the mirror.

Haha so funny. A widening gap of graphical difference according to some PS website who couldn’t tell the graphical difference between halo 1 and halo 3? And then claiming the wonders of Killzone graphics with a simple ‘trust us’?

Did they pay Sarah Palin to write that article?

Look, the 360 graphics are awesome, especially in 1080p on a big screen, and whatever claims you may have about the PS3’s superiority, you still forget they have a rather crippling small number of games and exclusives compared to the 360.

Not to mention, people who own both systems always vouch for the 360 anyway, simply because there’s just more.

Fail troll is failing.

Comment by mass9 on 2009-02-03 15:15:18

‘fail troll’

i like that. consider it officially stolen from you and added to my own lexicon.

Comment by H34RT 4TT4CK on 2009-02-04 00:01:49

Should’ve followed Paris Hilton’s example, next time I’ll copyright it.

Comment by Wardieboy on 2009-02-05 19:49:15

Anyone fancy staying on topic and giving some feedback on the demo?

Comment by ManoDestra on 2009-02-06 13:47:57

Hear, Hear. Bit difficult though when you have irrelevant morons trolling the site with nonsense about the black doorstop known as PS3.

I reckon “fail troll” will be added to Wikipedia by next week citing Smitty as the first victim. ;-)
