Halo Wars gets Strategic Options News
Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
Microsoft has released the Strategic Options DLC for Halo Wars.
The pack costs 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60) and adds three new modes: Keepaway, Tug of War and Reinforcement.
Keepaway is a take on Capture the Flag where players have to capture a roaming Forerunner Sentinel to score points; Tug of War totals up the the combined army, building and resources left at the end of a match to declare a winner; and Reinforcement provides varying units players must quickly adapt to and use against waves of incoming enemies.
Halo Wars is a real-time strategy spin-off made specially for Xbox 360. Head over to our Halo Wars review to see whether Master Chief would approve.

Rip off of what ? Not that it matters, is just for curiosity sake, as I don't care about "ripping offs" as long as it's fun.
And these sound like they are fun. Well, this gen is all about "horde" modes and co-op. Gears "invented" horde, and Halo prooved that coop is a lot of fun. Keep them coming. |

With any DLC, these are ALWAYS optional. So if not for you then not for you, but if you are going to appreciate this then yes this is indeed here for you!!
Not for me though but Tug of War sounds like a great addition and taking into account the whole resources, units seem fair and do change the strategic options available to Halo Wars online players! |

Well I love Halo Wars, even though I havent even finishes single player I can't get enough of the Multiplayer 3v3.
However if MS think I'm gonna fork out that much loot for a couple of game modes they can take a running jump into a lake of boiling pish. New/altered units and a Covenant campaign and I'd THINK about shelling out, but not for this paltry offering. |

800ms points is a rip, 400ms points is a better price, sort it out microsoft.

I agree... I never bought it i felt the demo was extremly easy... Extra modes that kind of thing should be included with the game not released after, take Call of Duty 4 and Call of Duty World at War , and Halo 2 and 3 for that matter, they release maps but the modes are always free... this is ridiculous. Ill stick with Empire Total War |
