Halo Wars News Day
A press event was held for Halo Wars not too long ago in London and the reviews that are coming in today. To say the least, the reviews are very favorable. This latest press demo showed off the first three missions in Halo Wars as well as the skirmish mode.
We enjoyed getting Halo Wars out in front of the press and we also look forward to getting our fans more information soon.
Honor Guard and Flame Hog
This week we are releasing a cool piece of concept art for the two unique units that will be available for Halo Wars. The Flaming Hog and Honor Guard Wraith are available one of two ways, and you can get them both. The Flaming Hog is available if you Pre-Order the game and the Honor Guard comes with every copy of the collectors editions.
Be the first kid on your block to pwn the noobs in one of these hot rides.

Cobra Concept Updated
Say that five times fast. We have added two brand new information cards to the concept art page for the Cobra anti armor vehicle. The two cards show off the unit in its locked-down and mobile modes that it can switch between.
This formidable piece of armor gives the UNSC the ability to hit heavily armored targets from a long range with its rail cannons. This makes the Cobra deadly to enemy armor and buildings.
