Halo Wars took the Halo franchise in a whole new direction when it was released back in 2009. Instead of fighting the Covenant from the perspective of a few soldiers, you controlled hundreds of soldiers. Whether you won the day or lead them to their deaths was up to you, though you’d lose the game if you chose to slaughter your comrades. Some Halo fans think Halo Wars is one of the best Halo games ever made. But there are things that even they don’t know about Halo Wars. That’s why i’m here. This is… 5 Things You DIdn’t Know About Halo Wars.

5 Things You Didn’t Know About Halo Wars (in text form)

5. Six units, the UNSC Cougar, UNSC Fox Cannon, Covenant Air Artillery, Covenant Gorgon, the UNSC Falcon, and the UNSC Leviathan were under development early in the game along with the ability to actually construct individual buildings. The developers later announced that these units been cut, as they had decided to focus on more recognizable Halo units and simpler gameplay.

4. Halo Wars didn't start as a Halo game. Six months were spent developing a control scheme for a viable RTS for the Xbox 360, which was later pitched to Microsoft, asking to use the Halo IP, to which Microsoft agreed

3. Some of the early concept art for Captain James Cutter shows his closely resembling Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars.

2. On the cover of Halo Wars, the helmet visor of the front most Spartan reflects the Arbiter and part of the honor stave on cover of the Limited Collector's Edition of Halo Wars, implying that the two sides are meant to be "facing" each other.

1. There is a peculiar discrepancy with the Halo Wars Timeline and the Cutscene "She Is Not My Girlfriend" in which it appears that it was SPARTAN Red Team leader Jerome-092 who reported to the bridge, meaning it was Jerome who had recommended destroying the fleeing Covenant vessel with Professor Anders aboard. While in the Timeline, it is stated that Sergeant Forge got into an altercation with SPARTAN Douglas-042, following Douglas' recommendation to destroy Anders' ship. It remains unclear which SPARTAN was meant to have reported to the bridge, and subsequently which SPARTAN it was that Forge had gotten into a brief "conflict" with, though it can safely be assumed that it was in fact Jerome. This is not least due to the fact that Jerome is Red Team's leader, making more sense for him to have reported to the bridge instead of Douglas.
