Ensemble Studios' real-time strategy 360 title set in Bungie's elaborate sci-fi universe was the biggest surprise of this week's X06 - and a top Microsoft exec has let slip that Halo Wars has been specifically created to appeal to our European gaming chums.

Chatting away during Microsoft's lavish post-X06 party, we were told by one top Xbox Europe luminary that, while the firm is thrilled with 360's performance so far, it still needs a bit of a nudge in certain territories.

The firm hopes Halo Wars, from the developer of Age of Empires, will give it just that. "It's for the Germans," the exec confided. "We think this genre of game is perfectly suited to Germany, northern and eastern Europe. It illustrates our desire to release games that are appropriate for gamers in all markets."

to be honest, the european market is pretty much the same as the states.

I just hope Microsoft don't whore out the Halo franchise (which i think is already beginning to start)

Nah this was a smart movie I think (the rts)

Halo 3 is the official end of the master chief's exploits for good. The next game in the halo universe... I don't know, but I sure as hell know it isn't halo 4.

It ends with Halo 3 for me. I don't want to see it drain thinner and thinner and thinner till its veins and bones are visible. But they'll milk it long after I've stopped paying. I just hope they don't do something incredibly stupid like end Halo 3 with a cliffhanger and make you watch the movie to find out...:-|. What have I done!!? Jynxed!!

Halo 3 might be the last in the trilogy, the story ends there........but is it the end of Halo games? I doubt it. And I don't mean Halo in different genres, Halo WILL continue in FPS form.

They can always come up with games that take place before Halo 1, or maybe between 2 and 3, things like that. That, and for the Xbox 3, they'll release Halo: The Trilogy which will have an amazing graphics engine, and will include Halo 1, 2, and 3, all of them touched up with the new graphics.

My point is that Halo is only going to grow, there's a lot of money there and MS is not going to pass on the opportunity.

My guess is we will eventually see Halo 1 prequals AND eventually, Halo "4" with a new story arch and new technology / a new enemy and design that fits new technology... probably at the end of the 360/beginning of the 720

Germany is the biggest gaming country in Europe.

Ps2 sold over 29 million ex here.
Many of those are just in Germany.

Apprently Germans havn't really cared for 360 yet.
But yes they are in to strategy game,when i was top 60 in wc3 in europe at the start-mid time of wc3 many was germans that i played with,and great guys.

Anyway,Halo from the start was just a RTS,in fact bungie probably have their ideas left to give the awesome dev at ensemble studios.
And with the power of 360 it might kick ass!!!

Nobody is forced to buy this rts or peter jackson's newly game its not like we expected games from these two studios anyway,halo3 is still being dev by bungie.
But now the halo fans can play some other halo games instead of ju halo3 mp for 5 years.

Good thing ms!!

i'm glad MS is doing this for Europeans gamers. MS is letting them know that they are an important part of the market and shouldn't be left behind. hopefully Europe takes notice of this
