Halo Wars DLC Detailed

22 Apr, 2009, 11:28 am IST | Avinash Bali | Console

Halo Wars, Microsft’s RTS set in the Halo universe is all set to get its first batch of Downloadable Content (DLC) called Strategic Options that’ll include new gameplay modes as well as some additional achievements (sweet).


We don’t know the price or the release date of the DLC but here be the details courtesy of the game’s official site:
  • Keepaway Mode: This is the Halo Wars adaptation of "Capture the Flag." Teams battle it out to capture a free-roaming Forerunner Sentinel to score points before the other team. Capture three to five sentinels to claim victory.
  • Tug of War Mode: This mode is all about having a stronger army than your opponent. Defeating enemies is essential, but success is determined by a combination of the army, buildings, and resources left standing in the end.
  • Reinforcement Mode: All active battle units are provided in successive waves. Adapt to their tactics and use the ever-changing set of units to outwit and outlast the enemy.
If you haven’t played Halo Wars yet, head on over to our review to see what you’ve been missing so far.
