    So...they're finally going to depict the Forerunners? Visually? For the first time?

    This is a defining moment for Halo canon fanbois, including myself. Also looking forward to the Forerunner Trilogy of novels next year.

    Looks like the Halo universe is rounding itself out into completeness.

    I am pretty certain that the back cover (the second image) is directly from Call of Duty 3. I know this because I have died a fair amount of times there playing on veteran. Anyone else notice this? It's the first level directly after you climb over the wall into the graveyard.

    Also, why does this look like WWII when it's supposed to be Halo?

    Right, I can get doing this with Dino Bones, etc. But are archaeologists really digging up whole tanks and soldiers from wars as recent the one depicted here.

    @syafiqjabar of Mars: They also seem to have forgotten that it was Bungie's original intent to make Halo as an RTS, not a shooter. Course Bungie was probably so busy doing errr... other stuff... like ummm, stuff, to make Halo Wars, and thus give it to another company to do for them.

    @syafiqjabar of Mars: Bungie didn't ask Ensemble to make a Halo game for them. Ensemble had been planning and creating the gamplay of a console-only RTS without any kind of story yet, when Microsoft suggested they use the Halo universe as a backdrop. So it wasn't a case of anyone not "letting" Bungie make it, they had never intended to.

    @moomoomashoo: And if you were going to get somebody to do an RTS in the Halo universe that wasn't Bungie, Ensemble was on the list of 'Go-To' guys. It's not like Bungie invented the RTS, after all.

    Hell, Bungie didn't even make the last Myth game, iirc.

    @WizarDru: Which was why the last game didn't turn out so good, if I remember.

    But yeah, Ensemble is a good RTS developer too. Like the guy above said, they wanted to make a console RTS and Microsoft suggested Halo. I was just wondering why an RTS of a Bungie-born franchise was not made by Bungie themselves, who previously made an awesome RTS series and intended Halo to be an RTS in the first place. Turns out Bungie did not even start the project.
