Halo Wars Updated to 1100

Halo Wars Updated to 1100
Written Wednesday, May 13, 2009 by Alan Pettit

The Strategic Options DLC for Halo Wars is possibly going to drop soon - the title was updated through xbox.com today with four new achievements for an extra 100 points that will be available with the content.

There is still no official announcement of price or release date.

One and Done  30
Score the winning point in a game of Keepaway against Legendary AIs.

Pull Hard, Pull Deep  20
Win and never trail in a Tug of War game.

 Freak on a Streak  20
Gain at least 15 population from a single wave in a Reinforcement game.

Living Loving Bug  30
Get a Scarab during a Reinforcement game.

 

Please note: Whenever we add DLC achievements to a game, the checklist for the game will be broken to anyone who was using it before the additions. We do not know the cause, but to fix the glitch, simply delete the checklist (hit the Red X from the "My Checklists" link)  and then re-enable and re-check your achievements. We apologize for this inconvenience.

Agree with #14

Halo Wars is a fun game. On-line is a blast.

I am not going to blast someone for not liking a game, but Halo Wars is a great time if you have some friends to hop on-line with. You are working as a team and don't have to listen to other people's trash talk.

Yep probably will be getting this, depending on how much it is I may wait awhile. There is alot of very good DLC out at the moment.

for only 100 gamerpoints i think the DLC should be free. Especially to those who spent the coin on the special edition. (nudge nudge) microsoft!

Its a forum, expect people to state an opinion. That's why they were created. Grow up and ignore the comments if you don't agree.

One and done is a funny achievement. They know people will only play against the legendary AIs for those points.

Comment #25 by SuperWoody64
Wednesday, May 13, 2009 @ 12:49:55 PM

And I say, 400 points and I'll get it, 800 and they're just being greedy and I'll wait for a DotW.

I hope they dont try and sell this garbage for 800 points after See The Future Fable 2 DLC only cost 560... Fallout 3 keeps putting out excellent DLC, Rockstar puts out a whole game for 20 bucks... Come on Robot entertainment, stop screwin' around.

Why does it feel like I've already heard about these achievements?

Comment #35 by garb77
Wednesday, May 13, 2009 @ 02:18:04 PM

i dont know why everyone thinks that all dlc should be cheap or free, you know they aren't running a charity. They have jobs for companies that PAY them, so when they work on dlc on company time the company needs to get paid. I know it's tough to grasp kids, but if you think about it long enough you'll get it.

is it a cool game?

Comment #37 by rockhopper
Wednesday, May 13, 2009 @ 02:22:38 PM

@14, people should be allowed to state their opinion. If someone doesn't like the game, that shouldn't stop them from posting. I suppose to your logic, every news story about a game should only have positive happy comments about it. I sometimes see news stories about games I don't care about, but click on them anyways just to see what's going on with the game.

Anyways, not a fan of this game even though I got 920 in it. Will not be getting this DLC.

Comment #40 by Dibs No Joust
Wednesday, May 13, 2009 @ 02:26:01 PM

Oh yeah, x360a already mentioned these achievements weeks ago. With only 100 gamerscore it looks like another game to milk about 5 different DLC's. Great. *yawn*

Comment #46 by Yourburntstar
Wednesday, May 13, 2009 @ 02:45:47 PM

well it looks like the DLC should be all obtainable in offline games, because it does not specify whether is online or not online. so hopefully you can get them offline, just so you can focus more on just play instead of worrying about getting a specific achievement.

i'm pretty pumped for this, even though i dont really like the update, it makes it so unbalanced i think, and they say they balanced it. idk..

can these only be done on a LIVE game?

Hey guys, I don't mind when people state their opinions, but opinion is not fact. Also, don't comment if you hate the game, saying "This game sucks!" or something like that, because this is for ppl who wanna discuss the game, not saying how much you hate Halo Wars. People have different tastes.

Can't wait to nab up these new achievements :D

Comment #51 by Biohazard K

#48 A real reason to get DLC is if it has achievements, achievement whores such as I like DLC achievements cause you get what you paid for and not just 20 minutes of fun. So shut up

well its fun they made this with new game modes but i wont spend 400 points for it, not playing the game enough for that...

Why dont you shut up
I said I hate them, if you like them, go ahead. I dont give a damn.
Plus I like achievements, I just dont like having to spend extra money just so I can get achievements.

Comment #58 by Yourburntstar
Wednesday, May 13, 2009 @ 04:32:04 PM

i've noticed alot that kids want DLC but when it comes out if the achievements arnt "Worth" it then they end up getting upset over the fact that its not free just because the way they set the achievements up..

What ever happened to just playing the game? and if you get the achievements from just Playing the game then so be it, but why freak out over not getting a certain achievement or not likeing new DLC achievements, i just dont understand how could something like that like makes people so angry and upset, its just a game.

Basically what i'm saying, if you enjoy the GAME itself just for the story and the fact that people put alot of hard work and effort into it, then you should give them the credit and buy the DLC even if the achievements dont look like there worth it.

Comment #59 by d00gler
Wednesday, May 13, 2009 @ 04:58:42 PM

I don't mind paying for this because it's several new modes along with the achievements. People complain that the multiplayer achievements will take too long to get, but here's some new incentive to play multiplayer.

Comment #60 by Betruger
Wednesday, May 13, 2009 @ 05:27:13 PM

i'd only buy this if it were 400 ms points or less

Comment #61 by Conor nolan
Wednesday, May 13, 2009 @ 05:32:22 PM

as if MS is gonna make it any lower than 800MSP they wanna get as much moeny outta ppl they can so its gonna be 800 no dought about it.

HALO WARS STRATEGIC MAP PACK
800 points

that's a shame...

@ 15, Actually, that isn’t a fact. Do you even KNOW what a fact is?
@ 30, Lmao, pathetic.
@ 37, Nicer than I would have been but I agree.
@55, If you do indeed like achievements so much then youd be willing to buy them without the sob story. Besides this particular DLC expands the original 1k, so you don’t actually HAVE to buy it to 1k the game, GASPS! I know, real shocker, eh?

seem pretty easy...
but 100 gp?! why not 250 as usual? and why so few achievements? :(

Comment #71 by KIDDRAGON67
Thursday, May 14, 2009 @ 11:13:07 AM

i'll pass mainly because my mates dont play halo wars anymore but i might think about it if the price is right (400 mainly on a few modes, it's just like RE5 MP)

Comment #72 by Sonoki
Thursday, May 14, 2009 @ 04:01:10 PM

idk why the F a lot of people complain!? wtf!? just 400? what the hell i would pay the 800 because i loved this game and they r adding 3 fking new modes!! if just 2 modes were awesome 5 modes would be awesomer! (i know that word doesn't exist, its a joke don't stpid) ensemble studios are the gods of the RTS games, i think a lot of people complain because this game wasn't made by bungie. or they hate the halo series but if the don't like this why the fck! posting here?! im posting here because this new is interesting for me but why the people who hate this game post!!?? go a post in ur fking games not in ours!! if you are with me in ur comment write "Sonoki 4 President!" (another joke)

Comment #73 by Sonoki
Thursday, May 14, 2009 @ 04:20:13 PM

o and another think, you people (including me) pay 800 MP for 3 fking maps in halo 3, in this game they r giving you a new experience in halo wars, 3 new modes! that mean you can play the same maps in a different way! thats a lot better for me! (i love halo 3, don't say i hate bungie or halo 3 because i like more 3 game modes)

Comment #74 by Sonoki
Thursday, May 14, 2009 @ 04:22:43 PM

i think this is a fking cahin! the bad think is that, the first person who posted in the first news for this DLC was a halo wars hater! so everyone behind him write the fking same!! like fking sheeps!! im different! i have vision and a separate opinion, i don't wanna be an a$$h0le like you guys (refering to halo wars haters) i love a lot of game and if i don't like 1 game im not coming and telling everyone that that game friking suck! i don't say anything

one correction in the first line of post #74 is "Chain" not "cahin" thx

Comment #76 by Striking Echo

@ #14 if we don't like the game we can post whatever we want..
I paid for the game and played all of it through so yea I can complain as much as I want. Sure it was a great game but it has as much replay value as Assassin's Creed (which is little to none).

When I saw the news about this I thought "Oh lets see if I'm going to regret selling it"
Turns out NO nothing to regret, the modes themselves sound pretty cool but 800 space bucks for a game most of us haven't played after beating it.. no thanks

Comment #77 by Mauricekuh

#13- end war sucked so much, this isnt much better but at least its playable, not worth 800

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
