The free demo includes the game's first mission called The Signal, and a new one called Blitz Firefight. The latter has pre-built decks from Captain Cutter and Atriox, which provide an opportunity for players to test their strategic skills required for victory.

Microsoft further describes the Blitz Firefight campaign for Halo Wars 2 saying, "Players will strategically command overwhelming firepower in large-scale battles against a terrifying threat facing the UNSC and all of humanity."

Blitz Firefight is a fast-paced mode campaign in "Halo Wars 2," where players will use decks of cards to send for vehicles and troops to battle against waves of AI enemies. Those who want to try the demo can head to the Windows Store to download the game. The demo has around 16GB of content, so players will have to wait a bit before they start.
