There it is, the box art for Halo Wars from Ensemble Studios. It was drawn by the same folks who did the art for Halo 2 and Halo 3. And no, this doesn't mean the game is coming out soon (it's still slated for early next year). Here's our suggestion, print out this box art, slap it onto a DVD case and fool your friends! They will totally think you have the game already. When they ask where the disc is, just tell them that it's "in the shop." If they ask you why there is no art on the back of your DVD case ... run.

I know I've been haunting the site all day so far, but I can't overlook the awesomeness that my baby, the M90 CAWS shotgun get top-billing on the cover:)
Okay..it's high time I get back to a real life for a while. Or until the next cool bit of gaming news..

Nice, I'm not an RTS kind of gamer but this is definately turning my head though even with its not-confungling controls I feel I'll get lost =[

Those guys seem a little top heavy and prone to falling over.

Someone is gonna buy this game thinkin its gonna a 1st person shooter. Actually now that I think about it. They should make a Halo game that is a mix with battlefield. Either call it Battlefield: Halo(collaberation with Dice) or just a Halo game similiar to Battlefield.

"Let's see Halo 3 sold 8 million with one Spartan on the cover, so what should the box art be for Halo Wars?"
"Well, 3 X 8 = 56"
"56 million?!, slap three Spartans on that box and send it to the factory!"

I am wracked with such hearty guffaws that in addition to rolling to and fro on the floor, my posterior has separated itself from my body!!!

It actually looks like a bad Photoshop to me, haha. I'm becoming less and less of a fan of Halo since they started exploiting it. Shit sorry, I mean "exploring".

ok, they're defenitly NOT exploiting Halo. there's only been 3 games, all of which have been cultural phenomenons and amazing games to boot. this is Halo in a new, and promising direction. open your mind you moron.

Having actually played Halo Wars, I can honestly tell you Microsoft isn't exploiting Halo. It's a really good game and lives up to the franchise.
