New Halo Wars DLC announced

halowars160Today Microsoft announced that another batch of Halo Wars DLC will hit July 21. Dubbed the “Historic Battles” pack, this bit of DLC recreates “key turning points in the UNSC/Covenant war” via four new multiplayer maps.

According to Major Nelson’s blog, the “Historic Battles” pack is priced at 800 Microsoft Points and will add two 1v1 maps, one 2v2 map, and one 3v3 map. Nelson offers a brief overview of each map, saying:

  • “Barrens (1v1 Map): Difficult terrain channels units into killing zones. The side that controls the Forerunner artifacts will have the advantage.”
  • “Blood River (1v1 Map): 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.”
  • “Glacial Ravine (3v3 Map): 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.”
  • “Memorial Basin (2v2 Map): The high ground in the middle offers good cover for infantry, while the generally open terrain transforms organized battle plans into bloodbaths.”
