This game has a nice story with the time frame of before the first Halo game leading up to the first Halo games but I dont like RTS's so I probably wont buy it.

As of now it is supposed to be released by March, 3, 2009 (US) but its probably going to be moved back as most games are.

Rating: Most sites do not have an official rating up yet but Im waiting for information.

Price: $60
Rated: Teen

So what do you guys think? Im probably going to stay away from it. I like Halo games a little but this ones going to be an RTS and a lot of money. (Low on money right now)

Is anyone going to buy this and what are your thoughts?

Yeh i'm not going to get it (esp. since i don't have a 360 lol) unless it comes out on PC for less than 50 bucks which i doubt. Does anyone know if Halo 3 is ever coming out on PC?

I heard that Halo Wars is going to come out on PC or atleast was suposed to. Idk about right now or about Halo 3. If they were going to make it for the PC, they probably would have done something about it by now because now they are falling behind CoD, F3, Farcry2, etc. So probably not. :(
