Inscrit depuis 7288 JoursI have the Units.
I have the Factions.
I have new screenshots we haven't seen yet.
Keep in mind that this information IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. And by God, I hope some of it does. I have to say, Ensemble, that you are doing a good job on one hand, and have PLENTY to work on. My pointers below in the list of units.
UNSC UNITS:
Marines: As we know, these are shipped in squads. Due to the lower resolution of some of the pictures, they seem to have heavy armor and helmets. Think ODST-grade. The Grenade ability is activated by tapping a 'secondary attack' button on the controller.
Known upgrades: Rocket launchers, Squad Medic.
Flamethrower Marines: A variant on the Marines, but a separate unit. Imagine the Firebat from StarCraft.
Known upgrades: Improved damage + defense.
Spartans: Misidentified in Gamepro as having Mk I MJOLNIR armor. Shield less, but heal fast. Can be wiped out if not used correctly. Said to carry SMGs.
Known upgrades: Dual Wielding has been discussed.
Warthog: Running into enemies is a secondary attack, ala the Marine's grenades.
Known Upgrades: Chaingun turret, Gauss Gun turret, Passengers.
Scorpion: Heavily armored, difficulty in tracking fast units.
Known Upgrades: Explosive shells, faster turret, Grizzly Variant (Double barreled cannon, flamethrower defense, UNSC Corps faction only.)
Cobra: Rocket artillery, anti-vehicle. Think of the Katyuska Rocket Artillery.
Hornet: Its in. It's an early air unit, possibly a weak one.
Wolverine: Still in. Anti-aircraft, anti-building.
Elephant: A prototype to the Elephant we all know and love, it can train Marines from a stationary position and attack nearby enemies with turrets. Fielded only by the UNSC Fleet faction
Cyclops: A ripoff of the Cyclops unit in Age of Mythology, a 'Gigantic bipedal mech" that levels enemy structures with blows from its arms. Come on, Ensemble, I thought y'all were smarter than this. Deployed by the UNSC Corps faction.
Vulture: Deployed by the UNSC Fleet faction, its a slow gunship that seems to have taken the role of the Sparrowhawk.
Factions: There has been much speculation as to how the factions would be implemented, and whether Halo Wars would need more factions like the Flood. However, it seems that ES is splitting the UNSC into Fleet and Corps factions. There is no word as of the Covenant. In my humble opinion, Fleet should be Army. In addition, I would like to point out that I predicted that they would do this on several occasions.
As for Sentinels... they're in. As Multiplayer only. And they ain't going to be a faction either. No, there will be factories which you can capture and control Sentinels as mercenaries. Make sure that your enemy doesn't take your factory from you though.
Some people have been concerned about rush, well don't panic. According to Game Pro, you'll be able to "prepare a powerful assault in less than one minute."
UNSC Units (not all units from the game are listed in the magazine)
This has been posted by Rasq'uire'laskar here.
For the record, the reporter said he liked the cyclops, so let's not jump to quick conclusions.
Marines: ARs (can upgrade to rocket or medic).
Flamethrower Marines
Warthog: You can add passengers.
Scorpion: Well... it's a tank (can upgrade to double barrel).
Cobra: Anit-Vehicle rockets and long range artillery.
Hornet: Light aircraft. Can add passengers.
Wolverine: Anti-Air.
Elephant: Mobile barracks (can train marines).
Cyclops: Mech.
Vulture: Heavy gunship.
Covy Units (not all units from the game are listed in the magazine)
Grunts: The very definition of "cannon fodder." Often armed with needlers. Good against low-level infantry.
Hunters: In paris with fuelrod cannons.
Banshee: Lightweight aircraft.
Jackles: Snipers and scouts.
Ghost: Effective counter to warthogs and marines, but weak against scorpion tanks.
Scarab: Enough said. MAC will kill it (yes, they said MAC).
Elites: Roughly equivilant to spartans.
Controls
Left Bumper: Select all squads on screen (may change in final version).
Left Bumper x2: Select all squads on the map (also may change).
Left Trigger: Moves camera fast.
Directional Pad: Jump to ares off screen.
Left Stick: Move camera.
Right Trigger: Modify (like making waypoints).
Right Bumper: Cycle through groups of units in current selection (may change in final version).
A: Select individual squad (hold to 'paint').
B: Cancel selection.
X: Move/gather/primary attack.
Y: Secondary attack (grenades, drive over infantry).
Right Stick: Rotate/zoom camera.
Back: Objectives.
Start: Ingame menu and options.
Spartans
MC may or may not be in the game, but is alive durring this period.
Powerful, but not unstopable.
You have to 'earn' them, but it doesn't take long.
Marines respond with oos and awws.
No shields!
They'll be one of the coolest things in the game.
Setting
Variety of alien and human worlds. Not just Harvest.
Rings will likely be maps in multiplayer, but will NOT be incampaign.
Warthogs
This may answer the whole, 'why does it have not turret?' quesion if it hasn't already been answered.
You can upgrade the turrets on the warthog (probably empty, machinegun, and guass).
Multiplayer
Final version is expected to support up to 6 players over Xbox Live!!
Online cooperative (2 players).
Other
No release date (assumed 2nd half of 2008)
Not on PC... ever.
Wii60!
"We've said that Gears of War was graphically the best game have ever been made, well it looks like Pong compared to Crysis and some of the DX10 titles."
-Gary Whitta (Venting on the NG podcast after Coming back from the Games for Windows)
Inscrit depuis 7449 JoursRight off the top, the one thing I was always concerned with was how do you get Spartans? I don't want to have to harvest things to get one so "earning" them through the campaign's progression seems like a fair trade off, especially when you consider that Halo Wars is an RTS.
The controls sound good, but this is the sort of thing we will only be able to judge for ourselves with the controller in our hands.
But even as I'm sure Ensemble will have the controls working well, I am a bit puzzled by Microsoft Game Studios. They have the perfect controller add-on in the messenger keypad and they won't admonish developers to use it. We also have Sid's Civ:Revolution coming to the 360, why won't they allow this great add on for those RTS and TBS games that are coming to the consoles?

Inscrit depuis 7558 JoursBesides the game looks great, it's not like the attention is misguided. It does look like it'll be a great RTS. Plus it's not like we're ignoring the other RTSs out there.

Inscrit depuis 7449 JoursMost of this stems from it's lack of appearance at MS gamers day a few weeks ago, the build simply wasn't ready. But it will be ready at E3.
