Over on the official Halo Wars forums Thunder posted a special update for our little Halo gem. The Ensemble Studios development team had to reach one of their first development milestones by getting a preview build of Halo Wars ready for some visiting Microsoft execs. And to our surprise, they actually created a multiplayer build so the whole team (including those Microsoft execs) could spend the day blowing stuff up real good. Thunder also went on to say that they've
"got a long way to go still, but it's very encouraging when a group like this can sit down and have fun beating the hell out of each other so far from any ship date".
True, they do have many milestones to achieve before Halo Wars goes gold, but we're extremely exciting knowing that such an early build was so well received. Anyone's thirst for Halo Wars news been quenched or do you demand 20 gallons worth of screenshots?
[Thanks, DjDATZ]

I demand that an operative travel into the future and grab me the in-house beta of Halo Wars 2. And also fix my roof.

Once again, that is in all likelihood a debug unit.

toph...halo wars is an RTS being made by ensemble studios. obviously based off of the halo franchise but bungie has minimal involvement with this (basically just making sure the plot corresponds with the halo franchise).
