Second, and somewhat more intriguing, the update mentions a new feature in Halo Wars: leaders. Before any given match, players will choose a leader. Each leader will bestow certain abilities, lending another layer of strategy to the game. For example, one leader has the ability to call in a carpet bombing, while another leader order a devastating MAC gun blast from orbit. A leader may also be able to command special units, such as Captain Cutter who can utilize the Elephant, which acts as a mobile barracks that can train new troops. Another leader can command the mech-like Cyclops units. Choosing a leader that complements a player's given play style sounds like it will be key to victory.
Don't get to excited though, Spring 2009 is still a long way away.

Mech like cyclops huh?
At first I was going to say Quake Wars ripoff.. But then I looked and QW ripped it off Battletech. The question now becomes, where did Battletech rip it off of?

Looking forward to it. Still can't see playing an RTS on the console, but I'm going to try.
