Halo Wars


Halo Wars is a game for the Xbox360. It is a Real Time Strategy game in the style of Halo. Some people say it is just a Halo version of Age of Empires, but it is very epic. You are able to play as both the Covenant and the UNSC. This game is Xbox Live compatible and you can play 3v3 on gigantic maps. The games types are Campaign, Skirmish and Multiplayer. There is also a theatre were you can watch the campaign video clips.
There are six commanders you can play as, and all of them have their own special abilities and their own units. There are three UNSC commanders and Three Covenant commanders. All of these characters have their own special advantages. Below is a list of them…




Character Alliance Special Units Special Abilities
Cutter UNSC ODST, elephant MAC Blast
Forge UNSC Grizzly, cyclops Carpet bomb
Anders UNSC Hawks, gremlin Cryo bomb
Prophet Covenant Honour Guard Cleansing Beam
Arbiter Covenant Suicide grunts Rage
Brute Chieftain Covenant Brute, Chopper Vortex
Campaign
The campaign is the proper story for halo. You play as the United Nations Space Command (Or UNSC for short). They are trying to stop the covenant and will do whatever it takes. Each level is slightly different so the battles will be different in every level. There are four difficulties and game enhancers called skulls. There are 15 Levels and each are very fun yet some are difficult.
Difficulties
Easy For new players or anyone who needs to flog the enemy. Or just to have a whole load of fun.
Normal For medium players who want a little bit of a challenge.
Heroic For all Good Halo players. Completing this is a fun challenge.
Legendary For only the Ultimate players. This is for professionals only. HARD TO DO.

Note: I have completed most of these things any way.
Skirmish
Skirmish is a free play version of the game, where you choose your character and you decide on the map and game rules for that match. You can play as any six of the leaders and combine any of them. You can even have a UNSC commander work with a covenant one! There are so many maps to play on, from the one vs one maps to the massive three vs three maps. Every map is different so always expect a different style of fighting each time.
Multiplayer
Multiplayer is Xbox Live Skirmish against real-world players. I have not played multiplayer yet.
WARNING: You must have Xbox Live Gold to play Halo Wars Multiplayer.


OTHER
There is also a theatre to see game clips and a halo timeline.

Hope you liked this.

If some info didn't copy over I apologise in advance

It isn't as bad as you seem to think it is. I've never played Halo but from what I can tell you covered everything. The layout could be a little better to make it easier to read and less daunting but it's still not bad.

Okay, the layout did stuff up though...
