A new trailer for Halo Wars rolls following Devine's quick elevator pitch
9:42
We transition to gameplay, building a new UNSC base, dropping supplies and buildings from a Spirit of Fire
9:44
We're watching a barracks being built... that might lead one to think the biggest announcements have been already dropped
9:44
Either that, or they're planning on wowing the crowd/waking us up with something more massive
9:44
Hopefully, we'll get a look at Bungie's next
9:45
Messrs. Luke Smith and Brian Jarrard from the Halo dev have sweet front row seats

Now at the Covenant base, Graeme runs into a Scarab... whips out a Cryo Blast

Looks very similar to the first so far, with drop pods coming in, shot from surveillance cameras
9:48
Destruction, death, dirt
9:48
Now on to the new stuff

They'd be nuts not to sell it retail. It'd sell well over 5m copies that way, whereas that would be impossible as DLC.



 
Debating with fanboys, its not
all that dissimilar to banging ones
head against a wall 

Looks like they want to keep the next MC game as an xbox720 launch title maybe. Atleast they know they can sell 8mil systems day one.

i bet its both, they did that back in the day with halo 2s download stuff, though this may be bigger, it would have to be drive insallable without needing the disc latter though, because it would be silly to playonline and need to hotswp between discs, or maybe you leave the expansion disc in, and have usaility of the original halo 3 content.... i remember having to hot swap on the pc with C&C tibirum because of stupied drm i hope ms dose not go down that path
