Halo Wars is a real-time strategy video game that takes place in the Halo universe. The game is being designed by Ensemble Studios and set for release exclusively on the Xbox 360.[1] Announced during Microsoft's X06 media briefing on September 27, 2006, details of the game first appeared on 1UP.com.[2] A pre-rendered[3] trailer for the game was shown at X06.[4] The trailer can be downloaded from the official website or from the Xbox Live Marketplace.
The Halo Wars official FAQ states that the game will take place prior to the events of Halo: Combat Evolved, presumably in the 27 years' war that followed the United Nations Space Command's first contact with the Covenant. It will allow the player to control the crew and vehicles of a UNSC ship, CFV-88 Spirit of Fire, in the first battles against the Covenant. Bungie Studios has reported that the game is already in playable form.[5] An update posted on January 30th 2007 stated that the game would be using Motion capture, the same technology as used in the Lord of the Rings films to depict the character Gollum. Screens on the website show this being used. However, after questioning, one of the moderators claimed that whether or not it will be used and how are still unknown.
Here is what to be expected in the game.

*Update*
UNSC Sparrowhawk
Known more readily as just “Hawk” the Sparrowhawk is a formidable air to ground armor busting support aerodyne. The Hawk is still being assessed by command before full production starts while engineers are still working on an experimental propulsion system that has led to failures in the field making the future of this vehicle uncertain. The Hawk first saw actual combat against the Covenant on the surface of Harvest in the final months of that campaign.
This looks awesome!
