The new Halo Wars DLC is out today. The add-on pack is called "Strategic Options" and brings three additional game modes:
- Keepaway: Teams need to capture a free-roaming Sentinel three times to win. Halo War's version of Capture the Flag.
- Tug of War: Victory is determined by the amount of units, buildings and resources that are left at the end of the round.
- Reinforcement Mode: Units are provided in waves.
The DLC also brings with it four new Achievements worth 100 points in total:
- One and Done: Score the winning point in a game of Keepaway against Legendary A.I.'s
- Pull Hard, Pull Deep: Win and never trail in a Tug of War game
- Freak on a Streak: Gain at least 15 population from a single wave in a Reinforcement game
- Living Loving Bug: Obtain a Scarab during a Reinforcement game
All this is going for 800 Microsoft Points. That's right! For just $10, you're going to get three new game modes and four Achievements!
Yeah, so this is a horrible deal. $10 is just overkill. I would never pay more than $5 for just three new game modes. Ridiculous.
Are any of you planning on getting the "Strategic Options" add-on?

I legitimately want to know. Did all you guys trade the game in yet? Are you still playing it?
