Halo Wars Alpha!

[TheXDKCollective 2]

so ive been going though my OLD ard drive and i found something called Sway....i checked the xex and its almost 1 year before RETAIL..... anyone have any idea on this as far as its playability

As far as I knew the only halo wars build other than retail was a preview build that leaked before launch. Sadly I haven't been able to find out if it has any differences to final. 

 

Have you tried to fire it up and see if it runs at least to a menu?

So after being curious about this I did a little hunting on google and apparently its (like you've said) the halo wars alpha that was tested on xbl. It appeared on peoples played/playing games as "sway".

 

It was first spotted on April 18 of 2008. Halo wars didn't launch until February of 2009 so that's definitely an alpha test.

Actually cool knowing that they had another version. I'll have to add that to my Halo build list.

Want to upload this? One of my buds is a die hard halo wars fan and I wouldn't be surprised if he figured out a way to force load maps.

Why not give this a shot? It would be cool if we found something in this alpha, maybe something that was left out of the final release.

i am currently looking into this beta to see if there is a way to bypass all the online checks

So what's the situation on this one? Is there a file I can download?

No, it's not leaked and no gamecheat will not give it to you.
