Halo Wars–Online tips

Seeing as my Halo Wars review never materialised due to various things getting in the way i thought i would instead, after playing the game quite alot recently, give some tips on how to survive online for new players.

Then this might be the program for you. 360 desktop lets you spin around panoramic images with your mouse by moving to the sides of the screen giving you lots more desktop space. Images don’t really do the program justice so it might be worth watching this video.
