Halo Wars gets some overpriced DLC

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?
