My bad! I didn't mean to steal your thunder. But at least it's getting out there.
Dammit I downloaded them ):
I already downloaded them, I was never interested in Ninja Gaiden anyway :].
I dled em. Blackout sucks. Avalanche Objective is where it's at.
Is that online or in local store.
Champino is right. While Blackout doesn't suck, it's my least favourite out of the 3. Ghost Town was a great suprise, I expected it to be sub-par, but it's a fantastic Team Slayer and 1-sided Objective map!
But overall, Avalanche steamrolls the rest. It is almost too much fun.
Had a match earlier, we were 2-0 on Multiflag, so being a cocky so-and-so, my driver (I had the flag, was sitting in the 'Hog), wanted to do a victory lap, and I agreed, may as well, it's all a laugh.
Driving around getting shot to hell and back, Hornet, rockets, laser and a turret getting shot at us, we get absolutely owned, but it was awesome and funny regardless.
We won 3-0 by the way ;) me and my 2 clanmates that were also there are great dropped-flag rescuers ;D
i give blackout a 7/10. i know it's meant for bigger parties, but it just doesn't play well with parties with 4-6 people...
i give avalanche 9.99999/10. MY FAVORITE! avalanche is like sandtrap (map size), valhalla (mancannons), combined. the best feature on avalanche is the mancannons. they are huge and there's even one that shoots you straight to the flag if you're playing CTF! best map out of the pack..
i give ghost town 9/10. it's size was a pleasant surprise for me as i was expecting it to be much smaller... i played a game of SWAT with my friends and you can get lost very easily.. i did MANY times...
AWESOME map pack i DEFINATELY recommend DLing it or purching it. it is definately worth 800mp i can tell you that... i cant wait to play on the DLC playlists...
hmm.. I guess I'll rate also :)
Blackout
8 /10
part of the fun of lockout was trying to make those jumps, now EVEYRBODY can do it, so it's more regular, meaning it doesn't help anymore, other than that it plays almost exactly like lockout and is great
Avalanche
9.5/10
Deffinatly my favourite of the 3, it plays great! To me it doesn't really feel like the original sidewinder at all, maybe cause it's only a "reimagination" but still great none-the-less
Ghost Town
8/10
Ghost town was under hyped being over shadowed by the two remakes, but is a great map to play. My only problems with are
1: if you jump to the top of the map, you can see over the edge (in some places) and can see just 100% blurry background landscape, I feel they should've just made the walls a little higher opposed to letting you see it,
2: Invisible walls, they just make me mad in general, I understand they are in place to stop you from getting out of the levels, but when your playing a match and you run into one, THEN it REALLY makes me mad - just make a bigger wall, but it being a good map makes up for it
Deffinatly everybody download it now,,,!!
and now my ranting is over :P
yey i about to by it HHHHOOOORRRRAAAYYYY
Avalanche is great; matches can be lightening quick, or long-drawn out stalemates. I think every part of that map is used evenly so far, there is no real "power spot."
Ghost Town is pretty good, reminds me a bit of a COD4 map for some reason. My only complaint is that it seems like it's uneven when playing objective games. The building base is easy to defend, making it difficult to get in and control it. The open corner base is easy to get to, and requires less work when attacking it. I like it much better as a slayer map.
I haven't played Blackout enough to have a focused opinion on it... I know it's supposed to be identical to Lockout, but the Human motif just makes it seem confusing when trying to navigate back to a certain spot.

how much is the pre-order? and do we have to follow through with the purchase of NG 2?
Thanks for the info but I downloaded those suckers like right after they were available!
