I know some of you say Halo Wars has gone down hill since E3 2007 but, you are wrong. Back in 2007 they had neat clean looking bases. That was obviously in Campaign mode. If you would just take five seconds to notice that in the E3 2008 demo they showed a green U.N.S.C. group, a brown U.N.S.C. group, and a pink Covenant group. This was obviously a co-op multiplayer mode. It has not been confirmed that they had compleatly done away with the old bases. If you would take the time to study them closely you will notice they are very deailed, well thought out and not that bad looking. Just think of the graphical power it would take to ajust a random base to a random enviorment. It would be trumendoesly costly.
Now that I have gotten that out of the way let's talk about selection tools. You can select a single unit by moving the cursor over the unit and pressing the A button, double click to select all units of the same type, and hold the A button down to use the paint brush. I wont go into to much detail about attacks because it probobly varys. You have an armada of attacks and upgrades at your fingor tips witch can be used in different ways to defeat different enimies.
Now let's talk about upgrades. I won't go into to much detail on this either. Since Ensemble Studios has released very little info about this and it varys from unit to unit all I can say is that you have a vast arry of attacks and special abilities such as Flamethrowers and Machine Guns.
Now I would like to talk about units. As said before every unit has different upgrades and abilaties. They can have different effects on the battle field witch mainly depends on how you use them. Here is a list of units.
Confirmed units | U.N.S.C. | Covenant | Forunner |
Troops | Marines | Grunts | Sentinals |
| Spartans | Jackals | |
| | Hunters | |
| | Elites | |
| | Prophets | |
Vehicles | Warthogs | Ghots | |
| Scorpian Tanks | Wraiths | |
| Woulverines (spelling) | Scarab Tanks | |
| Elephants | Banshees | |
| Cyclopses (spelling) | Spirits | |
| Hornets | | |
| Hawks | | |
| Pelicans | | |
| Shotsword Bombers | | |
Graphics are really the same as in E3 2007. they are beutiful and stunning just like you would expect.
Look at all these wonderful things! I rest my case. Got a little short because I was bored.
