Blitz offers a unique twist on Halo Wars 2 gameplay by replacing the traditional RTS aspects of resource collection, base building and tech tree planning with a streamlined way to build your armies and jump straight into the action. For fans new to RTS, Blitz takes players straight into battle while RTS veterans will find opportunity for deeper strategy through deck building, army composition and counterplay. The beta is Player vs. Player only, but Blitz will also include a Player vs. Environment mode, Blitz Firefight, at launch.
