Glacial Ravine map detailed by Justin Rouse on HaloWars.com
Skirmish map extraordinaire Justin Rouse is here to spill the beans on tactics and map information for Historic Battles DLC map Glacial Ravine.
Originally, our DLC2 pack (Historic Battles) was intended to contain only 3 maps: Barrens, Blood River, and Memorial Basin. After seeing the outcry for more 3v3 maps we took a look at what it would take to get one into the Pack. We did some due diligence and realized we didn’t have the time to create a new 3v3 from scratch, get it through testing, and put it into the map pack. So we compromised by repurposing an existing map, which allowed us to reduce developer time enough to get Glacial Ravine out the door with the others.

Robot resolves Glacial Ravine issues
Great news! Halo Wars fans with the Historic Battles DLC will now have the new map available in matchmaking as of… now! Well.. at least thats what Robot Entertainment Community Manager Duncan “Aloysius” Stanley has to say. At the moment the number of players in 3v3 Glacial still stands at zero so there may still be a delay with the stats.
You may be one of the first to play Glacial online if you log on to Xbox Live right now!

Fix for Glacial Ravine being worked on
Some last minute technical glitches have left some players who have bought the DLC disappointed that they are unable to play 3v3 Glacial Ravine online over Xbox Live. Rest assured a fix is on route and Robot is busy working on a fix, right now. I’m sure the issues surrounding this map will be fixed soon and will become playable in matchmaking.
