Halo Wars Demo in 29 Days and Counting
January 7, 2009 19 Comments
Halo Wars, an upcoming Xbox 360 real-time strategy game set in our beloved Halo universe, was set to release in the Americas on March 3rd but will now be hitting shelves on February 28th instead (a mere two days after Japan and the Asia Pacific region get their copies). The much anticipated demo however will be available slightly sooner on the not so distant date of February 5th. If you have already decided you are going to purchase the A-button heavy Halo Wars, it’s probably about time to get yourself intimately acquainted with both the Covenant and UNSC options that will be accessible in-game. The rest of us? Well, we’ll just be crying about not knowing when we’ll be able to get our hands on the Mythic Map Pack. Yes, I could use a tissue. And perhaps the wahmbulance as well.

UPDATE: The release date for Halo Wars was incorrectly stated as February 28th during Robbie Bach’s CES Keynote. The correct date is March 3 for the US, Canada, Mexico and South American region.
I’m leaning towards getting it, but I’ll try the demo first. It’s been a while since I played a RTS, so I kind of look forward to it.
I wonder how Rippy’s music is gonna hold up. There are a couple of tracks on his site, if anyone is interested. They’re just OK.
I guess the next Halo 3 map pack will be released with Forza Motorsport 3.
Don’t you mean it was set to release on feb 28th, but changed to march 5th?
Or did it change back? I is confused…..
BURN THE WITCH!
>.>
i mean game
please, at lest give it a swing
*With German accent* twenty-eight days and counting. Austin Powers joke.
Crazed, first it was slated with the general date of “February“. Then it was pushed to March 3rd for the American region. Now it’s at February 28th (again for the Americas). Maybe the date will change next week so we can be even more confused!
ahhhhh, guess I missed the second change……
Maybe they won’t tell us next time they change it and we’ll just have to guess when to start lining up outside stores!
I dig Halo, Halo 2, and Halo 3, but I am just not feeling this game. I’m just FPS fan at heart.
I can’t wait. I was a big warcraft 2, command & conquer guy back in the day.
Feb 5th?
I can download it and say it is my birthday present.
LOL
I want to test it to see if I really want to buy it.
Now it’s back to March 3rd.

Me Meself Him the Limited edition doesnt have the flaming warthog, it has the Honor Guard Wraith, If u pre-order the normal one though, i think you get the F W. I pre-ordered the Limited edition today and bought it while i was there, so when it comes out i can just go in and grab it Biatches! lol I hope you all have fun with the game!
i wonder if all the new vehicles and stuff are in the halo story bible
