Microsoft annonce officiellement l’arrivée dans les semaines qui viennent d’un nouveau pack nommé « Strategic Options » pour Halo Wars. Avec 3 nouveaux modes de jeu pour le multijoueur, Robot Entertainment assure bien la continuité du jeu.
· 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.
4 nouveaux succès seront également ajoutés mais pour gagner 100 points seulement.
“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.
Reste à connaitre le prix et la date du pack. On aurait bien aimé des nouvelles unités mais non.
