According to Joystiq Microsoft has announced Halo Wars, an RTS based in the Halo world (pre Halo 1)

The official site is up at halowars.com. There’s not much there other than a light on detail FAQ and pre-rendered trailer which looks pretty cool.

The biggest questions I have are going to be around the control system and screen support.

An RTS without a mouse is gonna be interesting but we’ll have to wait and see I guess. IMHO, FPSs sucked on consoles until Halo came around with a very usable control system, so Ensemble Studios might just pull a rabbit out of the hat for this one.

Also, I’m gonna guess that it won’t be playable on anything other than a high-def display. Although we did have decent RTSs back in the days of SVGA (800×600) so I might be wrong.
