| - The ''Halo Wars'' official FAQ states that the game will take place prior to the events of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', allowing the player to control the crew of the ship ''[[UNSC Spirit of Fire]]'' in the first battles against the Covenant. Bungie Studios has reported that the game is already in playable form, stating that it is "going to be awesome".<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/TopStory.aspx?link=bungieatx06 www.bungie.net/News/TopStory]</ref>

| - ''Halo Wars'' may possibly have been first hinted at in the art book that came with the collector's edition of Age of Empires 3. The last page of the art book showed images from five different Age of Empires games, including the three titles that had already been released. Two images represented unreleased games, including a hypothetical ''Age of Empires 4'' (depicting a World War 2 or Vietnam War-era soldier) and ''Age of Empires 5'', depicting a distinctly science-fiction character design. This may have been intended to represent [[Master Chief]] from the [[Halo]] universe.
