The fourth installment of the series is set for release in February 2009. However, the game will be considerably different from its predecessors. Gamers anxious to find out what the game will be like will find those details right here.

While the Halo franchise was founded on the Master Chief and the first person shooter platform, Halo Wars deviates from that path significantly. In fact, the Master Chief is not the main character at all. To take it a step further, the Master Chief is not even the only Spartan any longer. The game takes place more than 20 years prior to the events in the original Halo, revolving around the human crew of the Spirit of Fire.

In addition, the game is no longer a first person shooter. The new iteration is, in fact, a real-time strategy game. Before you chuck your controller out the window in despair, read on. The game's development, including the control system, is significantly different from other RTS type games.

For instance, there is a reduced focus on resource gathering and development. That means that the game's true focus is on battle management (winning). In addition, the control system has been simplified to the point that you can use it effectively with a game controller. The A button is the main control for the entire game. Players use the A button to select single units, all units of the same type or use the "paintbrush" mode to select units in a specific area.

In addition to those changes, players will be able to play the Covenant, at least in skirmishes. Whether the Covenant will be a full player faction or not has not been confirmed, but it has been confirmed that players will be able to control Covenant units in at least some instances. The Flood again makes an appearance, as well. Unlike the Covenant, there has been no mention of whether they will be player-controlled, though rumors abound.

The best way to get the cheapest car insurance quote is to contact a specialist insurance broker who will find the cheapest car insurance that is suitable for your needs. The cost of car insurance will be determined by several factors such as, the value of your car, how you use your car, what type of security measures your car has, who owns and drives the car and what type of cover you require.

One way to get the cheapest car insurance quote is to buy a smaller car, as smaller cars are less expensive (and so are valued at less) and have smaller engine sizes. Therefore normally, the insurance is cheaper. Fitting a car alarm, tracker or an immobilizer is one way to bring the cost of your car insurance down due to the more enhanced security you have, the less likely your car will be stolen.

The type of insurance cover you need or want will also play a part in how much your car insurance will be. A specialist broker will be able to advise you on which type of cover is right for you, whether that be Third Party, Third Party Fire and Theft or Fully Comprehensive. Parking your car overnight on a driveway or in a garage will lower your car insurance as it is safer and is less likely to be stolen.

Every year contact a specialist broker to search for the best deal for you, do not just renew your car insurance automatically as just because it was the cheapest deal last year, it doesnt mean it will be the cheapest deal this year.

A specialist broker will be able to search for the cheapest car insurance quote much easier than you can saving you not only a lot of wasted time and money but also giving you the peace of mind that the car insurance you receive is the right deal for you.
