Ensemble - Learning About Halo Players

Halo Wars developer, Ensemble Studios has had two challengers to overcome when developing their latest title. Make the best console based RTS to date, and set it in the Halo Universe. Not an easy target by any means. Ensemble's Graeme Devine commented on working out what Halo players wanted from the game:

"It seemed like a really funny thing to get out of the control test, but they all would come up and say, 'This trigger needs to throw grenades!' Over and over and over again, that was direct feedback — 'We need to be able to throw grenades!' So, you can throw grenades now."

There's a full interview with Graeme at the source. Interesting stuff.
