Halo Wars is sinking their teeth into the DLC craze. Today they released the Halo Wars: Strategic Options add-on pack for download on XBLM. The add-on will feature three new game modes for you strategizing pleasure. Keepaway Mode, Tug of War Mode and Reinforcement Mode. Here are descriptions for all three:
- 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.
Sound tasty enough? Capture the Flag in a RTS game sounds like a win to me. But all of these look like they could involve some epic battles.
The DLC will set you back 800 Microsoft Points.
