Earlier this week, Microsoft swore up and down that their new video game Halo Wars was not ready to be shown to the public. Well Gamercenteronline begged and pleaded and managed to get their hands on 3 screenshots for this real-time strategy prequel still under a TBA release date for this year.

The Storyline for Halo Wars is set in 2531, prior to the events of Halo: Combat Evolved which is set in 2552. It follows the story of the UNSC’s discovery of a Forerunner artifact and the first battles with the Covenant after the fall of the first planet, Harvest, to the Covenant. It will allow the player to control the crew and vehicles of a UNSC ship, CFV-88 Spirit of Fire, and receive instructions and commands from its AI Serina.

We’ll keep you posted as we learn more. A Halo RTS…. Hopefully it will be better than others.
