| |
| Although only in the conceptual stages at this point, ambient lifeforms, such as the [[Space Owl]] or the [[Harvest Whale]], may be encountered in the game. They may be found on the battlefield, reacting to the actions of the player's forces (eg. firing a weapon).<ref>[http://www.halowars.com/default.aspx Halo Wars Update; 2008-02-07, Ambient Life].</ref>

| == Trivia ==
| |
| | |
| *The Doritos snack food is holding a sweepstakes where the winner can get a voice role in the game.<ref>Official Xbox Magazine, Issue 74, page 32</ref>
| |
| *It has been said that the UNSC's super weapon is a MAC strike from orbit. However, this is highly [[List of Scientific Inaccuracies in Halo|inaccurate]], in theory, a MAC strike from orbit could create an explosion with the strength of a nuclear bomb or greater as the supersonic speed of the round, combined with gravity and its mass, would create massive forces on impact. A telegraph-pole-sized tungsten bar using only gravity and deployed from orbit has the same strength as a nuclear bomb. In fact, if a Magnetic Accelerator Cannon shot a 600-ton ferric-tungsten projectile with a depleted uranium core at 30km/s at a planet, it could penetrate the crust. However, it is possible that MACs have varying launch speeds.
| |
| *From a demo video on Xbox Live Marketplace, you can shoot the Grunt's methane tanks and the Grunt will explode.
| |
| *It is possible to run over enemies with the [[Warthog]], and likely other vehicles.
| |
| *It has been rumoured that Halo Wars will ship with a preview of [[Halo: Chronicles]]. <ref> http://softrockhallelujah.blogspot.com/2008/01/january-third-things.html </ref>
| |
| *While there will be an ecomony mechanic for the game, it may play less of a role in the Campaign missions<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/fanclub/107773/group/news.aspx?type=news&cid=308883 Interview by a Bungie Group]</ref>.
| |
| *There will be a unit limit<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/fanclub/107773/group/news.aspx?type=news&cid=308883 Interview by a Bungie Group]</ref>.
