Halo Wars 'Strategic Options' DLC available now

by Alexander Sliwinski { May 19th 2009 at 12:30PM }

The advanced AI known as Major Nelson informs us that Halo Wars' "Strategic Options" DLC is available now for 800

($10). The pack includes three new game types and 100 points of Achievements (no maps?).

If the price seems a bit steep for a few game types, we've got that covered too. We've got a post up now to win one of five free codes. Good luck!

Cool.

800 points for some game modes?
No thanks.

Is this the worst DLC or what? They are charging for GAME TYPES? Not maps, but game types. That SHOULD be added and modified by the developers so that players regularly play their game. And achievements? My goodness.

Please tell me i am dumb and missing something here.

x2. I was looking in the list of what the maps where, but didn't see them. I'm more interested in maps than game modes. Count me out until it's a deal of the week in two years.

Not only are they charging, they're charging _$10_. I might, MIGHT understand $2.50 (but I still wouldn't pay it). This is absurd.

no thanx, im not going to pay to be able to play different modes, maby like 200 points but 800? is robot trying to be bethesda by having stupidly over priced DLC?

And this is why DLC sucks.

I really want to get back into this game but I doubt I'll be buying this.

No one please legitimize this garbage dlc by purchasing it. Just say no. Our vote will be more effective if this dlc and what seems like 90 percent of this crap dlc fails. I mean game types. I honestly read game maps at first but this is pathetic.

I'm calling it, future deal of the week right here. What gives anyway? Ensemble wanted to support this game like Bungie does Halo 3. What do you know? They are making us pay for something Bungiw would do for free.

lol, of course we all know this content pack will sell perfectly fine regardless of how we feel about it. theres plenty of ppl who dont mind droppin 10 bucks here and there for mediocre dlc.

i only play 1 gametype anyway. still grindin to stay in the top 1000 MP 1v1 Total Wins leaderboards, took last week off and almost slid above 1500. id like to try the new gametypes but i dont think ill pay for them. maybe if i win the contest....
