Tandis que notre concours fait rage sur Gamers Life, un nouveau DLC sera disponible pour Halo Wars dès le 21 juillet sur Xbox Live. Affiché à 800 points, ce contenu s’intitule Historic Battles (le nom français est encore inconnu). Si vous comprenez un peu l’anglais, voici les premier détails …

  • 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.
