Halo

Ive been doing some research. It seems that the next installment of the Halo: Combat Evolved series is not Halo 4, but Halo Wars. It serves as a prequel to to the trilogy of Xbox games. Its not a first person shooter like we have become accustomed to in Halo - it is a strategy game, similar to Age Of Empires.

It is set in the years leading up to the boarding of the Pillar of Autumn, when the human colony ship Reach was carrying its most precious cargo - the hundreds of genetically engineered and purposely trained super soldiers called Spartans. The game chronicles the wars that ensued with the alien Covenant and ended ultimately in the destruction of Reach and almost all of the Spartans.

Im looking forward to it coming out, but im a little disappointed that there is no Halo 4. Oh well. This game is supposed to revolutionise the strategy genre, and transform it from PC only to console aswell.

There is also a movie that will be made on the Halo universe - well there was. Peter Jackson was set to direct, they had a script and they even made the Warthog, but pre-production stalled when Jackson bailed. Now it is a 'dormant' project, and by all reports not yet dead. Apparently it will be made, its just a matter of how long.

They released some images from scenes in a proposed script, which looks pretty damn good. The script is more true to Halo: Fall of Reach (the novel that was written detailing the lead-up to Halo 1), and it shows all the Spartans in training and so forth. They were still undecided whether it would be animated or live-action, but i reckon it should be live-action. It worked with Star Wars and Transformers, why not Halo?

This post is mostly for the Mulks as you can tell, but let me know if you think you would go and watch it?
