What was thought to be an Xbox 360 exclusive game title known as Halo Wars, is heading to the PC with cross platform supporting according to yet another MS insider. This will allow Live gamers and Games for Windows players to play online together.

Finally, after enough assurances that this is not a cruel hoax, we can let you, our dear readers, know that Halo Wars, touted as an Xbox 360 exclusive, is also apparently in development for the PC. But that’s not all - apparently the game will also feature cross-platform play, a la UNO and Shadowrun, between gamers on the Microsoft console and their PC counterparts.
Of course, most of this was to be expected, considering that almost every Microsoft game on the console has inexorably made it to the PC as well, albeit a couple of months or years later. And while we haven’t been told whether the game will be made available for both the Xbox 360 and the PC simultaneously, it stands to reason that it must be the case if the cross-platform rumor is indeed true. And especially considering the fact that Ensemble Studios has boundless expertise developing RTSes for the PC, it makes even more sense that the game would end up on the PC as well, since it would be a waste to squander all their talents as a PC developer on a console-exclusive strategy title.
