In a brief update over on the official Halo Wars forums, Ensemble Studios lead designer for Halo Wars mentions something about "seasons" when talking about the game.
Thunder: How is Halo Wars coming along?Graeme: We've been playing Halo Wars internally for approaching double digit seasons now (ooohhh did I give something away) and we're having a lot of fun with the game every day. Because it's a console only game we've really worked at iterating both the controls and feeling of the game. If I say anymore I'll be killed.
While Graeme Devine never out-and-out says the game will support ladder seasons, he does end the very short interview by saying the studio would have to "have a little tournament" to see who the best player of the strategy game is.
Of course, this also seems to show that the game is quite far along.
