Okay, so we know that the first expansion pack for Modern Warfare 2 will hit March 30th. But what we didn’t know at the time was the cost, which is now supposedly $15, or 1200 Microsoft Xbox Live points. It would seem that everyone is up in arms about this price, and rightfully so since 2 of the 5 maps will be reissued from COD4, otherwise known as Modern Warfare 1.
Who knows, maybe Activision will have a change of heart, but since they make little to no money off the DLCs, we probably won’t see a price change.
That’s right MW2 devotees. The first map pack for Modern Warfare 2 will be coming to the Xbox 360 first thing on March 30th. Not much information was given in regards to specifics and details but rumors are citing 5 maps of the new and old variety. Old maps? Like from MW1? That doesn’t sound cool. Given the price point ($10) on MW1’s 3 map package from 07′, I guess it seems fair.
While no price point has been set, the aforementioned surmise could be totally defeated once one does arrive, so we’ll just have to wait and see. How about some new weapons and perks?
Activision laid mention to the the fact that the map pack will also make it to the PS3 and PC but failed to arrive on a date. Consider your package stimulated?
Having yet to play Bioshock it’s nice to see that DLC is being supported. Sinclair Solutions Pack is due out on March 11th for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. For 400 Microsoft Points or $4.99 on PS3, you’ll get a level increase to 50, 20 new trials, 5 new masks, and two new playable characters. Sounds like a decent deal.
I absolutely love the first game, so I best get this game through Gamefly soon.
MDub, as in Modern Warfare, fans are ravenous when it comes to their map packs. Well, they can now, or more like soon, feed their insatiable thirst for more mutliplayer combat. Due sometime this Spring (I’m hearing as soon as April) we can expect the first map pack, which will be called “Stimulus Package” (let’s hope this means cheap).
The DLC will include five new maps – 2 pulled from COD4 and 3 news ones. Activision has yet to deny or confirm this ‘leak’, but since the video depicting the supposedly new multiplayer boards has already been pulled from Youtube…well, you get the picture.
Arriving in a few days, the final of two promised DLC’s for Assassin’s Creed 2 will be available on Xbox Live and PSN marketplaces. The final installment will present 10 more Ezio memories for you to futz around with. Having yet to really play either Assassin’s Creed, I can’t speak to the chronological impact of this DLC, though I must say it looks interesting.
Will this be better than the critically lackluster Battle of Forli content?
To help it not get lost in the MW2 shuffle, GearBox Studios is set to release a new batch of DLC for their awesome Borderlands game on November 24th for the Xbox 360 and PS3. The content will cost $10 and will give around 6-10 hours of gameplay.
Promising more narrative this time around, the content centers around zombies and swamps, giving the whole look of the game a different approach. Entitled the “The Zombie Island Of Dr. Ned”, it looks just as stylized and fun as the regular game and let’s hope this is just the first of many quality DLC’s for Borderlands. No word yet on the PC release date. Watch the video.
It’s finally nice to see the Ps3 getting some exclusive and free DLC these days. the newest of these offerings comes by the way of Brutal Legend. The epic fantasy nod to all things metal will receive it’s first DLC next month with a multiplayer map pack entitled “Tears of the Heaxadon”.
With the DLC being released on both the Ps3 and the Xbox 360. the PS3 version will be the only one that’s free. Available from November 5th until November 19th the content will be free at the PSN store, while the Xbox 360 version will cost 400 MS points when the DLC arrives on November 3rd.
That reminds me, I gotta put this game in my GameFly queue.
I’ll say it right now that I have not been following the development of Mass Effect 2. I was thoroughly disappointed in the first installment and couldn’t even play through it. Despite my disdain for this game this is an important nugget of gaming news.
EA will be releasing Mass Effect 2 to the salivating masses on January 26th in the US with Europe to follow on the 29th. Alongside this news is the announcement of some free bonus content if you pre-order ME2 in the form of a downloadable code once you bring the game home on launch day.
The content is split up between some select retailers. Most will receive codes for an “Inferno Armor” (pictured above), while pre-order content masters GameStop will get codes for the “Terminus Armor” (pictured below) as well as the M-490 Blackstorm Heavy Weapon. No word as to if this content will be accessible at any point to gamers who opt to not pre-order ME2.
That’s right folks. Because the included 400 cars and 100 tracks just isn’t going to be enough. So when Forza 3 releases later this month, those who buy a new copy will receive a redeem code for 10 cars and 2 tracks as free DLC from the Xbox Live Marketplace.
The pack is entitled the “Motorsports Legends Car Pack” with the two tracks being “Benchmark High Speed Ring” and “Sidewinder Proving Grounds”. All the new free cars are listed below. This really looks like a must by for all racing fans.
For the PS3 only! Exclusive DLC is just fanning the fanboy flame now isn’t it? Apparently this 2nd challenge map entitled “Prey in the Darkness” is only coming to the PS3 for tomorrow September 24th. Sources report that it is available now in the UK.
Free DLC is totally the way to go but making it system exclusive only provides more ammo for the “FAIL”crowd and console loyalists. I still have not played this game!
