So now that everyone has had time to beat the campaign and rocking the mp what does everyone think the dlc should be?

A covenant campaign would be cool but I imagine it would probably only be half the size of the original.

Personally I'd like another leader for each faction. (alot of arbiters and captain cutters out there.) Also I wouldn't mind a few new 3vs3 maps.

Ok, this is a question I have been wondering for a week or so. How is there gonna be DLC since Ensemble got shut down by MS?? I hope there is DLC but I don't know how that will work.

On to the question, I think a campaignwhere you play as the Covenent would be cool. But, not where all the missions are just like you fighting the same battles against the humans just on the other side. It would be cool to fight battles when they first find the Flood like the humans did and some other cool stuff. Any DLC would be really cool though I'm sure.

Several key members of the Ensemble team have created Robot studios which has stated that their first project is dlc for Halo Wars.

Playable Flood, and a map creator/editor (almost every RTS has one...).

Some sort of new campaign would be nice. In fact, that'd be the only DLC I'd be willing to pay for. Theres no way I'd pay for new units. The multiplayer already has something like fifteen maps, thats plenty enough for me. Especially considering I don't even play the multiplayer to much. I'd be willing to pay for a campaign, but only if it's of a similar length of the campaign the game ships with. I'm not going to pay for something I'd be done with in an hour. Or at least not ten dollars.

It may be impossible, but wouldnt it be awesome to somehow have multiplayer that wasnt a giant rush? If they could pull off a gamemode like that i would be so happy.

i dunno the way HW is made it supposed to be a rush, to get you into the action fast! But u cant counter a rush with your own rush, then everyone rushs and it comes down to how smart you are.

Flood / forerunner war would be nice

look up the article on ign about the dlc. microsoft and ensemble members are still making DLC. an older article said that most of the DLC for halo wars have already been made by ensemble during development. now, in terms of the dlc i want to see: 1. Flood playable race (everyone knows by now that it's going to happen. play through the campaign and you see a variety of different flood units and abilities) 2. Covenant Campaign (wtf are the dreadnaught ships? give us more info and more awesomely epic cinematics) 3. more maps (there's a decent amount of maps, but more couldn't hurt) 4. replay system. every single mainstream rts in the world has a functional replay system. host servers so that players can download and upload replays of their games. and halo wars just can't be played competitively until a replay system is in place. 5. tie in some features to Halo 3 (forge, ranks, etc)

I'm expecting more maps, more units, with the closure of Ensemble I doubt we'll see a fully flushed campaign add-on.

maybe teams could battle over a reactor or a mode where once your team won you had to turn on each other. That mode would probably offset everyone just making a bunch of the same unit. (i.e. Hawks, Grizzlies,Odst's and Hunters.)

Covenant Campaign, More maps, Flood Playable, and more units (UNSC sniper unit please!). I think a $20 expansion with the above would be amazing.

A map editor, some more 3v3 maps, and a covenant campaign would be nice.
