Microsoft just confirmed with Shacknews that Ensemble Studios' Halo-based strategy game Halo Wars is delayed until the first half of 2009. Though no release date was ever officially announced, the game had been expected to arrive later this year.According to a rep from Ensemble, the game was delayed for additional control and balancing polish, and to avoid the crowded holiday season.
