Halo Wars DLC Has New Multiplayer Modes

Microsoft has revealed the first details on new content coming to Halo Wars in the form of “Strategic Operations” downloadable add-on that will be due in the “coming weeks.”

The download will bring three new multiplayer modes – Keepaway, Tug of War, and Reinforcement – as well as adding four new achievements.

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.

As for the four new achievements, 100 new points will be up for grabs.

* “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
