Update: The Halo Wars website has made a correction regarding the GamePro cover story. It turns out the story is in the July issue, not the June issue.
Also, the Halo Wars Alpha, about which we reported last month, has concluded and the devs at Ensemble Studios are apparently very pleased with the feedback gained from testers. According to the update, the much vaunted control scheme was well-received and testers had little difficulty in quickly understanding it. Let's hope so.
Finally, Ensemble has posted a high resolution version of one of the screenshots revealed last week. Click the headline image above to view it in all its glory.

the game is said to be set upon humanity's first meeting with the covenant. Thus, there should be no flood in the game.
I can totally get behind playable covenant though.

It wouldn't be too hard to create a canonically viable reason to include the Flood. Besides, how awesome would they be as a faction? They would practically engineer in reverse, as they have to have a substantial presence before a Gravemind can be formed.
The possibilities alone make me happy.

sure, if they can come up with a good reason. perhaps the covenant met the flood before we did. it's not been said, to the best of my knowledge, that the covenant first met the flood in Halo 1.. just that they found something they weren't expecting underground. (or something like that) I want to see them in there though.
sidenote:
UNSC = Terran
Covenant = Protoss
Flood = Zerg
anyone else see the similarity?

For multiplayer, the story matters not, therefore they could add pretty much every faction they wanted for multiplayer....

I just hope that they don't ruin the hype by making a bad RTS. I am planning on getting this, not a pre-order though..

There's no way in hell The Flood can be in this game. If they try some kind of shit like that, I'll be boycotting it.
