Halo Wars - Image 1Halo Wars just got more intense as the Strategic Options DLC launches today on the XBL. Strategic Options is the first game add-on for Halo Wars, introducing with it new ways to compete that will surely test the creativity of strategy-makers.

As mentioned in the previous article on this DLC, there will be three new game modes present in the new Game Add-On:
  • Keepaway Mode: In this Halo Wars adaptation of Capture the Flag, teams will battle it out to capture a free-roaming Forerunner Sentinel to score points before the other team. The number of Sentinels needed to win scales with the number of combatants.
  • Tug of War Mode: Players must build a stronger army than their opponents to succeed.  Defeating enemies is essential, but success is determined by a combination of the army, buildings and resources left standing in the end.
  • Reinforcement Mode: Players must adapt their tactics and use the ever-changing set of units to outwit and outlast the enemy, all the while facing successive waves of incoming units.
The Strategic Options DLC is brought to you by Microsoft and Robot Entertainment, and is priced at 800 MS Points.
