Halo Wars Achievements

This page contains information on the achievements for Halo Wars, the real-time strategy game developed by Ensemble Studios for the Xbox 360.

Halo Wars, the first real-time strategy game in the Halo series, was developed by Ensemble Studios, who also created the Age of Empires franchise.

The game takes place before the events of the first Halo game, during the war between UNSC and the Covenant. The main campaign has players leading an army of soldiers serving on "Spirit of Fire," a UNSC colony ship, although the official site confirms that the Covenant will also be playable in the game.

Halo Wars was released exclusively on the Xbox 360 on March 3, 2009.Official Site: Halo Wars

In multiplayer co-op mode, up to three players can play through the entire campaign together over Xbox LIVE. As is standard in real-time strategy games, players can select and manage soldiers individually and in small groups, or command the entire army at once. Each solider has a primary and secondary attack, and the player can also call on the "Spirit of Fire" colony ship for an airstrike.GameSpot: E3 2008: Halo Wars Co-Op Hands-On (July 15, 2008)
