i think its using age of empires engine, but i could be wrong
where'd you get the idea it was originally going to be an RTS? I was a mac-user back when the first sniffs of Halo hit the internet - and of course, being the only game for the mac at the time pretty much it was all there was to read about game-wise and I never saw anything about an RTS for it then.
You're not confusing it with Myth somehow are you?? or the fan-made Myth mod?

learn something new every day. cool
While it looks cool, it doesn't look like it will have the "Epic War" style gameplay I want in an an RTS....
Now, Supreme Commander on the other hand :P
Halo was an RTS concept long before any real development began. They had already decided to develop Halo as an FPS long before any substancial work was completed.
Halo was actually meant to be a good FPS with some ground breaking ideas including the removal of load times entirely. The idea behind it was the world would be loaded on-the-fly while you play. Areas that you were about to enter or travel to would pre-load...
Then Microsoft bought Bungie and they started moving developing rom the Mac and PC to the Xbox. Here is where all their ground-breaking ideas were shot down. Nothing revolutionary about the gamelpay was to see the light of day, and it suddently looked a hell of a lot worse. When this happened my interest died and I resigned from 3D Action Planet and Battleground Halo.
Halo might still be considered the best FPS for the console, but in the big scheme of quality first person shooters, it's a pile of steaming sh*t.
terran v protoss anyone? :p

Somebody give this man a cookie for being spot on, then hand the rest of the packet over to me.
Game is looked very attractively. We shall hope, that it will not spoil!
If only i had a gaming machine still, then I'd be waiting for TF2 :P
