New Halo Wars Cinematic and Screens

[7th Columnist]

Those in need of some E3 Halo content should jet over to Ensemble Studios' Halo Wars site. They've just released an awesome new E3 trailer for the game and a bunch or new screenshots.

I love these trailers, they really get me pumped for some epic battles.

Halo Wars semi-firm release date! February 2009!

There's also a Limited Edition, which will sell for $79.99 here in the US. It will contain:

# Halo Wars: Genesis – a beautiful graphic novel by Phil Noto, Graeme Devine and Eric Nylund chronicling the first military campaign against the Covenant. The novel centers around the Spirit of Fire on a mission to discover why the Covenant are so interested in the world of Harvest
# Unique In-game Vehicle – "Honor Guard" Wraith
# Six Leader Cards – Leaders possess elite skills which can turn the tides of battle
# Spirit of Fire Patch – Start the journey as an official Spirit of Fire crew member

As well as the Mythic Map Pack for Halo 3! Which is early, I'm pretty sure.

And if you pre-order the game, you can get a card with a code to download an ingame Warthog with flame decals.

so if you buy the limited edition, you get all that. The map pack comes with it?

[Walla]

Yes.

[D4rk0m3n]

can you get the map pack somewhere else?

[Walla]

Yes. From Marketplace obviously and I think it'll also be released with Halo 3: Recon.
