We have entered the home stretch of the Halo Wars 2 launch with the announcement of the upcoming Blitz multiplayer beta launching on Xbox One and Windows 10 on January 20th. This new game mode takes a twist off of an real-time strategy classic and adds a unique twist to gameplay and strategy with unit cards. While there’s some worry in the Halo community on the likeness to REQ cards from Halo 5: Guardians, this will give us the opportunity to try it for ourselves. Amongst the Halo Wars hype, Halo 5: Guardians continues to get better with community created content, the continuation of the Halo Championship Series and more matchmaking updates.
