Blitz mode is a new single and multiplayer battle mode in Halo Wars 2 that changes the way you play the real-time strategy game.

Halo Wars 2 arrives on Windows and Xbox One on February 21, and I had a chance to play Blitz on the Proving Grounds map at a preview event. The Blitz mode introduces frenetic action to the RTS that you normally don’t find in this kind of game.
