The first batch of downloadable content for Halo Wars can now be found on Xbox Live.

Priced at 800 MS Points ($10), the "Strategic Options" add-on brings three new multiplayer modes and new achievements to Ensemble-developed Xbox 360 strategy game.

While Ensemble shut down following the completion of Halo Wars, several veterans went on to form Robot Entertainment, which has been working on "additional content."

"Hopefully Blizzard doesn't get any ideas from these guys for Starcraft 2."5 Comments
