A: Stay tuned.

Q: Why is “Halo� being made into an RTS game?
A: Warthogs are cool. Scorpions are cool. Controlling lots of Warthogs and Scorpions and sending them into battle is really, really cool.

Q: Other RTS games that have transitioned to console have had issues with controls, how will “Halo Wars� improve on the formula?
A: “Halo Wars� was created for the Xbox 360 from the ground up, which meant we didn't have to make compromises or shoe-horn in artifacts from a Windows PC game. We were able to take all the best aspects of RTS games, make them work perfectly on the Xbox 360, and exclude the rest.
