{{Quote|The next (and last) big problem on base building and building size turned out to be the need for the units to exit their buildings. We really wanted to showcase that. It had been received very well in our E3 2007 demo. We had gutted that base scheme during the various un-fun iterations of the “place anywhere” systems, so most of the E3 2007 stuff was gone. But, we were determined to keep the units exiting their buildings. But those tanks are so f’ing big. Each building site had to be big enough to accommodate the Vehicle Depot, which was killing our attempts to reduce the base size.|Dave Pottinger on the E3 2007 bases.{{Ref/Reuse|26th}}}} | {{Quote|The next (and last) big problem on base building and building size turned out to be the need for the units to exit their buildings.

Throughout the [[Development of Halo Wars|development]] of ''[[Halo Wars]]'', a large number of '''buildings were cut''' from the final release.

Another building that survived into the final game, the barracks underwent many design iterations. In the E3 2007 build, the barracks are little more than a fenced-off courtyard, and have [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] doing pushups behind the building.{{Ref/Reuse|E307}} Another iteration of the barracks was intended to be "orbitally deployed", with the building dropping down from orbit and unpacking itself. | Another building that survived into the final game, the barracks underwent many design iterations.

A third design of the barracks has also been shown, much more simplified in form and more closely-resembling the direction of the buildings in the final game. Icons depicting this design remain in the files of the final release. | A third design of the barracks has also been shown, much more simplified in form and more closely-resembling the direction of the buildings in the final game.
