In a departure from the previous action series with a first-person perspective for players, Halo Wars is a real-time strategy game, giving players the opportunity to command several units across the game map from a top-down perspective. Halo Wars takes place roughly twenty years before the events of the very first game in the series.
Unlike RTS titles for the PC, Halo wars is very action-packed. The controls in Halo Wars are quite solid and benefit from being built from the ground up for console gaming. The thumbsticks allow you to look around the map and zoom in on your units, while the A button is used to select units that are highlighted by your cursor. The X button is your main interaction button, allowing you to move units around the map and interact with other units or attack enemies with your primary attack function. Pressing Y when targeting an enemy unit allows you to perform a secondary attack function, like throw grenades or run enemies over if you’re in a Warthog.
The game also features some cool online abilities, allowing players to participate in six-player skirmishes over Xbox LIVE. Online, you can play as either UNSC or Covenant forces, utilizing each of their respective technological advances and specialized units. While RTS games have been around a long time for PC gamers, Halo Wars brings the genre to the Xbox 360 console.
