Check out the latest gameplay video for the real-time strategy game Halo Wars, which shows 10 minutes of gameplay footage, narrated by the game's lead designer.

Players will command armies of familiar and new UNSC units in its initial encounters against the Covenant, an alien coalition threatening to obliterate mankind.

With the guidance of Serina, a spirited artificial intelligence (AI) persona, gamers will direct legions of UNSC soldiers, Warthogs and Scorpions against Covenant Grunts, Elites, Ghosts and Scarabs, each group having its own strengths and uses in battle. Strategic-minded players who react well under pressure will emerge victorious.

That was really quite cool - and the control issues for a console look quite well resolved too. We love orbital bombardment, on yes we do. Shame about the lack of a PC version!

Yeah its a bit strange guess its just easier to develop that way or is a signal of the direction MS are taking games.

Yeah, I really like the look of this. Still not been convinced with an RTS on 360 yet, but it would be great if Halo Wars can nail it.

It'll be up against the expansion for C&C3 - which is supposed to feature a new control system for the 360 so it'll be an interesting comparison.
