You’ll be able to play Blitz in 1v1, 2v2 or 3v3 configurations on the map, “Proving Grounds,” via Xbox Live Matchmaking on Windows 10 PC and Xbox One. All of the starting leaders and unit cards that will be included with Halo Wars 2 when it launches Feb. 21 are available to play in the Blitz Beta.Blitz is an all-new experience in Halo Wars 2, providing a unique twist on RTS gameplay that replaces the traditional aspects of resource collection, base building and tech tree planning with a new, streamlined way to build armies and jump straight into the action. In Blitz, players will use a card and deck mechanic along with resources spawned at random intervals to quickly bring units and Leader Powers onto the battlefield, resulting in fast-paced, explosive games that emphasize skilled card and unit play and map control.A: For everything you need to know about playing Blitz including a detailed introduction to Blitz cards and unit abilities, check out this ARTICLE There are two ways to get into online games in the Blitz Beta:A: Blitz is only offered in 1v1, 2v2 or 3v3 matches against human opponents. Blitz Firefight, which is available in the final game but not included in the Beta, will allow players to battle against waves of increasingly difficult AI opponents either alone or teamed up with a friend. The non-Blitz multiplayer modes of the full Halo Wars 2 game will also allow skirmishes against AI opponents.Each leader in Blitz comes with a pre-made default deck to get you started but the real fun comes as you grow your card library and start to develop your own unique strategies and tactics. Each deck consists of 12 total cards and each leader can have up to three decks saved at a time. From the Blitz menu, select “Decks” and then choose a Leader. From here you can either edit an existing deck or select “Create New Deck.” Once you’ve made your choice you’ll be able to populate your 12 card slots with units of your choosing (and check out the “Deck Stats” to see how your custom deck balanced). Keep in mind that Blitz is a game of fast reactions and quick decisions and the card you can play at any given moment will be dependent on your available energy. As such it’s wise to strike a balance between cheaper, faster cards and more powerful, higher-cost cards.You can earn additional packs in the Blitz Beta by completing the tutorial, completing daily and weekly challenges, and improving your Spartan Rank by winning matches. When Halo Wars 2 launches in February, there will be even more ways to earn packs.No, cards you unlock and ranks you obtain while playing the Blitz Beta willcarry over to the retail version of the game when it comes out.

And of course, the experience and practice you get mastering your Blitz strategy is yours to keep forever!
