We're get a Halo RTS.

Wonder if that's the 50-64 person online version that I mentioned earlier?

Re: Microsoft Announces X06

New Banjo

I'm interested in seeing Halo Wars. I always knew there would be a Halo RTS, because that's what it was before it became an FPS. Ensemble Studios rocks too.

Re: Microsoft Announces X06

Having Splinter Cell exclusive to the 360 is HUGE IMO. Along with Bioshock, another monster title to have exclusive. After seeing that video, that game is going to OWN.

But, my biggest is the MMO Marvel Universe! OH MY!

Re: Microsoft Announces X06

The Peter Jackson collaboration with Bungie on new Halo game and new IP is rather interesting. I wonder if this new Halo game is going to be based on the movie.
