Huh? What's that? Someone at the official xbox forum saw the trailer instead of the ViDoc for the Weapon tuning and posted screencaps. It looks like a Windows Phone 8 title (because of the third screencap which is Microsoft's Windows Phone mock-up)

That looks actually pretty legit, and yeah I can believe 343 would fuck shit up and somehow a wrong trailer plays on their site.


WP8 and PC exclusive is a bummer though. RTS like Halo Wars is a welcome change

More Halo Wars would be a good thing.
Game was really good for a console RTS. Though I think I might be getting my hopes up.
Especially considering WP8

Lol. This makes more sense actually. The name always sounded off to me, not really surprised its a WP8 game.

Although it could still be an XOne game, with these screens being the Smart Glass implementation.

EDIT: So its a WP8 game eh, and RTS. Oh well.

For some reason when I saw WP8 my first thought was Halo-as-Shadow-Complex... which tbh would be preferable to this :/
