Microsoft is still telling gamers that “Halo Wars” the real-time-strategy game (think “star craft” or “civilization”) is being made solely for the Xbox 360 and not the PC.
“Halo Wars is being d eve loped from the bottom up for the Xbox 360 and its control scheme to ensure that we deliver a groundbreaking console RTS experience. Given that, we have no plans to d eve lop ‘Halo Wars’ for Windows Vista at this time,” Microsoft said.
I have a hard time believing this because RTS games have only worked well on the PC so I can’t imagine them making “Halo Wars” an Xbox exclusive title. I bet they are just telling eve ryone it will only be on Xbox so PC gamers will buy an Xbox. Then a few months later they’ll announce they are also releasing it for the PC.
