Halo Wars Gets Strategic Options
The popular Xbox 360 RTS Halo Wars is getting its first add-on pack when "Strategic Options" releases in a couple weeks. The expansion will contain three new modes that will have you rethinking your strategies:
- Keepaway Mode is the "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. Capture three sentinels to claim victory.
- Tug of War Mode is all about having a stronger army than the opponent. Defeating enemies is essential, but success is determined by a combination of the army, buildings and resources left standing in the end.
- In Reinforcement Mode, all active battle units are provided in successive waves. Players must adapt their tactics and use the ever-changing set of units to outwit and outlast the enemy.
And for you Achievement Whores, you'll also have the opportunity to add another 100 points to your total with:
- "One and Done" (30 points): Score the winning point in a game of Keepaway against Legendary A.I.'s
- "Pull Hard, Pull Deep" (20 points): Win and never trail in a Tug of War game
- "Freak on a Streak" (20 points): Gain at least 15 population from a single wave in a Reinforcement game
- "Living Loving Bug" (30 points): Obtain a Scarab during a Reinforcement game
That's all I've got for you guys right now. A definitive release date for "Strategic Options" as well as pricing information will be available soon. Or so they say!
