Halo Wars

Halo Wars is a strategy game based on the legendary Halo universe.
Command armies of familiar and new UNSC units in their first encounter against the Covenant, an alien coalition threatening to eradicate humanity. Discover the Halo universe in its early days, during a period leading up to the first Halo game.

The game's events take place about twenty years before the formidable trilogy and are presented with spectacular cinematics. The single-player mode consists of about twenty missions in which the player exclusively manages the human UNSC camp. The Covenant, on the other hand, are playable in skirmish and multiplayer modes. It is possible to take command of a vast army composed of Grunts, Jackals, Elites and other Hunters, and thus experience the power of the Covenant. Rich and visually impressive, Halo Wars stands out as a sure value for all fans of the genre.

Optimized for console
The big problem with RTS games on consoles is obviously the always delicate handling. Halo Wars offers a particularly well-adapted control scheme for the Xbox 360 controller. For example, the command system is based on three buttons (A, X and Y), while it is possible to use the directional pad to set shortcuts. The camera is advantageously managed by the right analog stick. Everything has been done to make the gaming experience as smooth as possible.
