*'''June 13 to June 16:''' [[Domination]] | *'''June 13 to June 16:''' [[Domination]] will be available on [[Ricochet (level)|Ricochet]]. Domination is the classic RTS gameplay from Halo Wars, now with all-new units, leaders, special abilities, and the amazing depth of Halo Wars 2. Players will build their bases and armies, and battle for control of the map and supremacy on the Ark. | ||
*'''June 17 to June 23:''' [[Deathmatch]] | *'''June 17 to June 23:''' [[Deathmatch]] will be available on [[Veteran]]. In Deathmatch, you’ll plan and build your base and army – but instead of fighting for map control, you’ll fight until only one player remains standing. | ||
