We’ve been big fans of Halo for years at Ensemble Studios, and when we sat down to discuss our next project we thought Halo would be absolutely perfect as an RTS on the Xbox 360.</dd><dt>Q: When will “Halo Wars” be available?</dt><dd>A: Stay tuned.</dd><dt>Q: Will I be able to play Halo Wars on Xbox 360 and PC?</dt><dd>A: Halo Wars is for the Xbox 360 exclusively.</dd><dt>Q: Is the trailer pre-rendered?</dt><dd>A: Yes, and it's based around our world concepts and uses lots of in-game models. The sound and music were done at Ensemble Studios as well. Props to our friends at Blur for bringing it all together and making it really shine.</dd><dd> </dd><dd>We have released a video for download that shows in-game footage as well. (Nothing pre-rendered here) Check out our <a href="http://www.forgemakers.org/movies-t246.html">movies page</a> for the video that shows our E3 2007 demo level.<br>
</dd><dt>Q: Other RTS games that have transitioned to console have had issues with controls, how will “Halo Wars” improve on the formula?</dt><dd>A: Halo Wars was created for the Xbox 360 from the ground up, which meant we didn't have to make compromises or shoe-horn in artifacts from a Windows PC game. We were able to take all the best aspects of RTS games, make them work perfectly on the Xbox 360, and exclude the rest.</dd></dl></span>
