The Halo Wars: Strategic Options DLC hits today if you haven't heard...which how could you since they didn't announce it until now...

For the low-low price of 800 MS points you can grab this little bit of DLC from XBLIVE later today. You get 3 new game modes but no new maps... Keepaway Mode: In this “Halo Wars” adaptation of Capture the Flag, teams will battle it out to capture a free-roaming Forerunner Sentinel to score points before the other team. The number of Sentinels needed to win scales with the number of combatants.

Tug of War Mode: Players must build a stronger army than their opponents to succeed. Defeating enemies is essential, but success is determined by a combination of the army, buildings and resources left standing in the end.

Reinforcement Mode: Players must adapt their tactics and use the ever-changing set of units to outwit and outlast the enemy, all the while facing successive waves of incoming units. I don't have screenshots from the DLC yet but look below from some random Halo Wars images.

	... No offense, but something like that should maybe be about 400 MS points or less. Especially after they mentioned it being 2MB in size. Granted, a lot of work goes into making this stuff and I'm not trying to be cheap with the developers, but it seems sometimes that the DLC is a bit more than what it should be. Nice to see an add-on for it though

	... I agree, the "low low" was definitely sarcastic. 800 without new maps is criminal. This should have been free. 3 new game modes? It's a joke.
