If you’ve gotten used to the maps currently on Halo Wars, then expand your map list and check out Halo War’s new DLC. There are four new maps in all, which are unique and will require new strategies to conquer them in single or multiplayer.
Here is a list of the map names, along with a short description…
* Barrens: Difficult terrain channels units into killing zones. The side that controls the Forerunner artifacts will have the advantage (1v1 Map).
* Blood River: Secure base locations on nearby cliffs overlook this naturally red-tinged river. The soldiers that fought over its two narrow crossings gave the river its name, which has since taken on a greater meaning (1v1 Map).
* Glacial Ravine:A snow-topped mountain range forms a natural barrier that cuts this region in half. Control of the two energy walls at the narrow central pass often determines the outcome of the battle, though clever use of the Sentinel Factories may play a role as well (3v3 Map).
* Memorial Basin: The high ground in the middle offers good cover for infantry, while the generally open terrain transforms organized battle plans into bloodbaths (2v2 Map).
Along with the maps there are brand new achievements to try and unlock…
* Tour Coming Through: Hot drop 50 squads to your Covenant Leader in a single game on Memorial Basin (30 points)
* Never Leave a Man Behind: Finish a game with 5000 net resources contributed to your teammates on Barrens (15 points)
* Drain Cleaner: Kill 20 enemy squads with a continuous Covenant Leader Power on Memorial Basin (30 points)
* Killjoy: Disrupt 5 active Leader Powers in a single game on Blood River (25 points)
The Historic Battles DLC is now available and will set you back 800 Microsoft Points.
