Video: Halo Wars demo (with the Flood!)
Without a doubt though, the most intriguing part of the video happens right at the end of the demonstration, when we get our first glimpse at the Flood. We only get a general idea of how the Flood base is structured and also a brief look at the Infection Forms as well as what look like (former) human Combat Forms.
Now, if we can just get this time machine working, we can play it right now.

Looking pretty sweet wonder if the flood will be playable?

Richard,
Just detonate a couple of Cryo Bombs around you and you'll be in Spring '09 in no time.

Has the whole Flood thing been explained?
The game is 20yrs before Halo 1, right? Up until that point the Flood were in containment on teh Halos, which weren't visited by humans until Halo 1. Or what am I missing?

If humans have no knowledge of the flood for Halo1... then it stands to reason that no human survives the Halo Wars storyline or the survivors never got back to human controlled space. My two cents...

im not a halo fan but i love RTS games and halo Wars might be what it takes for me to try one on a console.. it looks like theyve conquered some of the major control issues, now all i need to see is a third race (the flood) ala Starcraft to seal the deal..
hopefully theyll work out the balancing issues prelaunch, i hate it when they change hit points and build times after the fact..

*Cough* Starcraft *Cough*
Covenent = Prothos, shields, no life, marines = Tarren and Flood = Zerg

and the Brutes would be?...
ryan @ Oct 9th 2008 8:43PM
nm, they are technically considered the Covenant, but i think they should be a class all their own.

Yes there are similarities, but....
Starcraft: Not much of a story.
Halo Wars: Great background story.
From what I can tell, this is going to be far better than Starcraft on every level, but that's just my opinion...

Looks fairly decent. Although the controls are not what I expected at all. They said that Pikmin was the main inspiration for the controls so I was expecting something more....interesting and not the simplistic "mouse with right click menu" control scheme used here (not that these controls are a bad thing, simplistic controls are great for an RTS).
