Mr Sprout over at the new Halo Wars fansite, Halo Wars Central, was able to get an interview with Dispraiser, the lead of Slipstream Productions that was working on the Halo-themed Halogen mod for Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour.

The buzz has died down a bit, but there are still a few sites catching up with the X06 Halo Wars bombshell. The latest is the BBC's site, which quoted Bungie's Brian "SketchFactor" Jarrard as well as HBO's own fansite editor, Claude "Louis Wu" Errera.
As for why a Halo RTS by Ensemble, Sketch put it nicely:
"Halo started as an RTS. Would the Bungie team love to do one themselves? Possibly.
1Up is reporting that EGM's issue #210, presumably the December 2006 issue if it will hit newsstands on November 14th as they claim, will feature Halo 3 in a big way. The current issue has a teaser for that feature.
I have created the sheet music for the piano part of the Halo 3 trailer!!! But how do I show it to you guys???
UPDATE: It's up now on the front page.
Yep, well I've received a lambasting from a few in IBO, and support from a few others. A lot of focus in this thread has been on whether an RTS is the right medium to go through, and that's getting beside my point. I'm replying to me previous post as to not clutter up the forum with my rants. I think I can sum up my point in a few steps of thought.
1. I consider Halo an art.
2. Artwork is created by an artist in the medium he/she chooses and portrayed in the angles and perspectives he/she wishes.
3. I happen to like the art that this artist creates.
Frankie and SketchFactor, over in Barcelona for the X06 event, decided to do a different sort of Humpday Challenge this week, applying their Halo 2 skills to other games available for play.
The two pitted themselves against bots in Shadowrun (the bots won) and then against each other in Gears of War (Frankie won).
I'm concerned. I'm all for new Halo content, and that trailer blew me away (give me more cinematic CGI!), but there are some concerns I'd like to toss out there to see if anyone else feels the same.
New Hands.
