Covenant playable in Halo Wars

Some guy over at Joystiq named Richard Mitchell, swear that name sounds familiar, was able to finagle some details from Ensemble Studios during a demo of the game. Ensemble confirmed that the evil Covenant will be playable in Halo Wars. The only catch is that the Covenant will not have a campaign mode and the option to play as them is in multiplayer only. Now, if they would just confirm the Flood already — we could I go home! Halo Wars is set to release sometime during the Spring of 2009. Looking for more information?

E308: Halo Wars screens

Halo Wars, the unfortunately delayed RTS from famed PC developers Ensemble Studios, is looking better every time we see it. The latest screenshots are no different. Showcasing the epic battles of a world before a lone Spartan was called into action, Halo Wars is certain to be a blockbuster title when it hits in Spring 2009 exclusively on the Xbox 360. As an added bonus, Microsoft included a trio of stills from the awesome CGI trailer — which you can watch now on X3F TV!

E308: Halo Wars confirmed for 2009

Monday, July 14th, 2008

Filed under: News, E3

Confirming a rumor we heard earlier in the day, 1UP.com is reporting that Halo Wars has indeed slipped to the first half of 2009. While we’re upset we won’t get the chance to destroy squads with our very own Scarb in 2008, we’ve anticipated this delay in the past. It’s a shame gamers won’t get to experience the game this year but with the recent announcements at E3 2008 of online cooperative play in Fable 2 and Gears of War 2 we don’t anticipate anyone getting bored for a while.
