Perfect Dark Zero Map Pack Available

Shooter fans itching for a little more action with Ms. Johanna Dark are in luck; Microsoft's sent out the details on a map pack being released today for Perfect Dark Zero featuring four new areas for players to explore. If you're willing to shell out 500 (the equivalent of $6.25) points, that is.

'cause it's not. 4 new maps? For 6 bucks? Are you kidding me? These maps should be free, no question. Uhg.

xbox.com emailed me with news saying the map pack is now available. I spoke to a microsoft representative, and it seems to be a typo, but this this was a june newsletter from xbox.com meant that was for the map pack to be out sometime in june.

I thought M$ did not release or endorse content on fridays because of possible bug or glitches that could occur over the weekend.

the Major has just posted on his blog saying that the maps are definatley not out today. sorry

[shotty]

No content on Friday unless it's a special time like E3. The reason is if something does go wrong with a new content and it's released friday then they will have to wait until monday to fix it. They do work on weekends like during the week of E3 but it's too much a hassle.

So I guess, the major LIVE update scheduled for "sometime this week" is also a no-show. What a buzz kill.

[darktangent]

Yeah it looks that way

Although i think the marketplace is very cool im gettin sick of buyin overpriced games and then also havin to buy the map packs too why not give free since we already bought the game or dont make them at all!! I know what u guys r guna say "u dont have to buy them if u dont want to dish the money" well ur wrong u do have to buy them because everyone else will so playn online will be harder without gettin um....

[Aflac]

I have to agree with u, it rlly should be free

why is noone complaining about the COD2 maps. you have to pay 400 points for only 2 maps. you get 4 maps in this one for only 600 points. i think 4 new maps is worth the change in my cupholder.

[Aflac]

even tho we shouldnt have to pay for any of these maps, paying for 400 for 2 cod2 maps is far worse. especially since its not even as good as pdz, it's nowhere near as complicated as pdz, and requires far less skill than pdz (complicated fps's are the best, especially wen they require loads of skill)

BTW, its 500 points for 4 maps, not 600, just for your info

[LightWarrior393]

This seems to always bite someone in the butt and well. In the first place I kinda agree with both people 400 for 2 maps on COD2 is a bit much and well even though for an extra 100 pts you get 4 maps it still doesn't seem worth it maybe they should have done what COD2 did like give you 2 free or 1 free and yes I know about the whole demo, but still you never really owned the map just got a free sample. To me the Oblivion content is more worth it, but that's my opinion and I like that game way better than this or COD2. It's reallly all a matter of opinion not a lot of people liked this game so they are all going to complain that they have to pay more money for maps on a game they hate in the first place. So like most people I'm not buying the maps for 2 reasons 1st I never really liked the game and 2nd cause I didn't like it I sold it so really no point in buying it. So cya all.

Have any of you actually played this game....total crap anyway....WHO CARES!!!

[BOOSTIN]

are you on crack? PDZ is the best online shooter out right now. everything else is a g@y ass military shooter except far cry, but that game sucks. anywho for people who dont like one shot kill military shooters and like the halo style shooter better, PDZ is the best you can get. the single player is crap, but single player is for kids with no friends anyway.

yesterday, i spoke with a microsoft employee about the pdz map pack, turns out it was supposed to say it will be out real soon.

Any, I figured while I was on the phone with microsoft, to find out if I could in someway contact Rareware to give ideas to improve the game to appeal to more customers. There's not really a way we can speak with them directly, but the microsoft employee will be contacting them telling them the kinds of stuff i suggested to making the game even better and more like its predessor (gameplay wise).

Here is what I suggested so far:
1. Give us the ability to jump using the right thumbstick button, this way we dont take our thumbs off the looking stick.
2. If they give us the ability to jump, let low gravity be a fun little gameplay option to mess around with in multiplayer.
3. Bring back the following options from the old perfect dark:
-fast movement
-slow motion
-1 hit kills
-old multiplayer maps
4. Physics improvements- like ragdoll physics or whatever they are in halflife 2
5. Continue the storyline through expansions rather than sequels (with better voice acting, lol), so that we do not have to get used to new formats, etc.

The guy said that to add in jump would mean redoing the physics, making a download as big as 300MB. He said he will suggest to them an expansion to get all this type of stuff in, after all, these features did make the original perfect dark probably the most highly rated, and versatile console shooter until halo.

I have come up with more features to suggest to them below:
1. Bring back all the rest of the old weapons, characters, etc.
2. Improve graphics (to satisfy gamers who let graphics that are not completely life-like ruin games for them)

If anybody has additional Ideas, PLEASE REPLY TO THIS COMMENT, I WILL INCLUDE IT IN MY NEXT CALL.

Thank God microsoft listens to customers, sony never did that (I know because I've tried)!!!
