Can We Get a ‘Grunts Must Die!’ DLC?
Sometimes we like to highlight a project in the game industry that might not have to do with Halo itself, but that comes from developers and professionals close to the Halo family. In that spirit, make sure you check out Orcs Must Die! from our friends at Robot Entertainment. Robot (formally Ensemble Studios) has a firm place in the Halo family with Halo Wars, and their Community Manager Justin Korthof was also a Community Manager with 343 Industries; you may know him better as SixOkay. The game is a ton of fun, and launches today for 1200msp. We’re really proud of everyone involved, congrats guys!(GrimBrother One 14:04:30 UTC)
