Infinity Ward is looking to push the boat out with some of its DLC for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, with the distinct possibility that the studio might branch out beyond the usual multiplayer map offerings with some "campaign extensions" that could add a little extra story or shift perspectives in the campaign. "The goal with these content drops is to do things we've never done before, really expand our horizons and our opportunities of what we consider DLC, because traditionally we've just done multiplayer maps," Creative Strategist, Rob Bowling stated in an interview with OXM. "So that's what we are looking at, how we can take different perspectives on different [campaign] missions, give more context to a mission by showing you pretext before it or after it. We're exploring everything. I can't give you a specific schedule on it, but that's the logic behind it." You could end up playing the 'Mind the Gap' mission from the opposing side or play a remastered mission from a previous CoD story then, but it's clear that Infinity Ward is hoping to go outside its usual comfort zone as far as DLC is concerned, although there'll still be plenty of multiplayer offerings. This includes larger, more "sniper-friendly" maps in the future. "I think it has been successful in focusing what we wanted - very intense, fast-paced firefights, always keeping you in the fight - but we are looking to expand it, because you always want variety, you always want something different to what you've been experiencing," said Bowling. "Since people have been enjoying putting hundreds of hours into the smaller maps, now as we're moving forward we are looking towards expanding that out, giving you bigger, more sniper-friendly maps with longer sightlines, so that's what the content drops are going to be focused on - doing something you're not already doing in Modern Warfare 3." "Liberation is definitely the first step in that direction," Bowling continued. "It takes place in a militarised Central Park, it is a wide open match, it's great for those big team games - Domination, Ground War - and it's all about snipers because of the huge sight lines. It's definitely the first step in opening it all up."

99.9% that you have to buy the normal Eva helmet.Click on Emiles helmet it will tell you why you can't buy it

This is either the beat halo spam ever, or you are completely out of your mind. Have you even played Halo Reach? There is not 1 thing in your OP that warrants discussion. Every idea ranges from bad to terrible to completely insane. May I suggest you play another game? Maybe Lego Star Wars?

This would be good for game sessions for achievement hunting, boosting sessions, etc great idea love it

mayh3m well done great work on that video

Caboose check the calemdar ive put the date the forum went live in it 25th march get organising,

Trust me Shadow if the incident happens again it WONT BE YOU that leaves the forum......

U wouldnt leave because of a shoutbox incident, especially when a moderator can pull up the shoutbox archive to see whats been going on Do not leave because of a minority, especially when most members that have been on today, have been asking you to stay. You worked hard to get to trusted, dont let a few fools ruin it for you. The messages in this thread show that people like you being here. You used to say this was your family, remember family also fall out as well. Show your bigger, better than the minority that made you feel like this and stay around, why should you leave something you like/love because of the fools that made this happen. Jester

Call of Duty on Vita?? Hmm could work, i used to play SOCOM Navy Seals on the PSP a lot, and it was real fun, so if done right could be a real hit

the link is in the original post, above the pictures

Totally agree with this, well thought out, and told, great thread

In an effort to keep their game fresh (and ridiculous), Volition will be releasing their next paid DLC add-on this week for Saints Row: The Third. "Gangstas in Space" will see the now famous Third Street Saints filming more of their movie that was teased towards the end of the campaign mode. Here's what the team at Volition had to say about the add-on: From the visionary mind of big-shot Hollywood director Andy Zhen, the Saints are back once again to complete the final scenes for their future blockbuster, “Gangstas In Space”. With the world waiting in anticipation of the very first Saints movie, there’s a lot on the line, and it’s your job to act the part. Starring the Boss and introducing Jenny Jaros as Princess Kwilanna, you’ll experience action, drama, blow-up dolls, and one hell of an alien invasion through a series of new missions. The pack is included in the Season Pass for Saints Row: The Third, so it's already been bought and paid for if you chose to get that. If you didn't, "Gangstas in Space" will cost you 560 MSP from the marketplace. It will be available this Tuesday, February 21st.

Congratulations to everyone, some mighty impressive maps, i tip my hat to each and every one of you for the creative flair you have all shown.

interesting website, definetly worth checking out, the pictures and atmospheric music really hits the spot

Pretend to act surprised. Activision might be publishing a game called Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. I know, right!? A listing for the game appeared temporarily on Amazon France this week. It was quickly taken back down by whatever poor soul hit publish, but French site GameBlog grabbed a pic of it first (below). Unfortunately for them, this has got GameBlog in a spot of bother with Activision. The website is now blacklisted by the publisher and has had its event invites and review copy privileges revoked. Ouch.

Bethesda’s plan for Skyrim DLC is to release bigger lumps of content, less frequently than they did with Fallout 3. "For Fallout 3 we did five DLCs. That was a very aggressive path for us," said studio boss Todd Howard. "Our plan now is to take more time, to have more meat on them [for Skyrim]. They'll feel closer to an expansion pack. "With Fallout 3, it was, 'Ten dollars is the sweet spot for us and we know we want to put out five of them. And we had overlapping teams. We were coming off Fallout 3 and right back in." But Howard now thinks that the studio can produce better content “if we approach it a different way." To help fill the quiet periods, Bethesda will drip feed regular small, free content. "Because that gap is going to be bigger, we want to put little things out for free in between,” said Howard. However, he added, “We're trying to figure out what those things are." Howard also said that the bonkers crazy additions to the game shown off at DICE last week could come to Skyrim officially, via DLC. "There are definitely things in there that we are planning on exploring," he said. "It looks like a ton of stuff that could ship right now, but it's in a sizzle video. It's, you know, it's not bug-tested, polished, balanced. There’s more too. "That wasn't all of it,” said Howard. “It's probably 60 per cent of it. The other 40 per cent doesn't show as well in a video or we didn't have good footage." No date was suggested for the upcoming DLC. Howard said only that development is at a “very early” stage.

Bethesda gave value gamers some great news today by announcing on their blog that they'll be offering a combo pack featuring Fallout 3 and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. It should be noted that these are the standard editions of the respective games, not the GOTY editions with all of that glorious DLC... which is totally worth buying Starting on April 3rd, the combo pack will be offered for the low-low price of $29.99 (the PC version is $19.99). Currently, this deal is only announced for North American markets, but if it expands beyond that, we'll be sure to let you know.

i like it maybe a 343.org day, say the day the forum went live? i'll find the exact date and get back to you. I like this idea

i assume you are killing th e banshees as well? if you have been playing for an hour i will assume not, unless you dojnt have all/most of the skulls on even if you dont get to the phantom, flying towards it attracts the banshees. if your following what i posted above it will take you 30-50 minutes dependant on skulls see it works...

Microsoft got the site shut down a couple of weeks ago, the beta site has been buzzing around for months, someone posted it up here a few months ago but we took it off straight away

Epic’s announced the fourth and final DLC for Gears of War 3, the Forces of Nature map pack. The pack will feature five maps – three new original maps in Artillery, Aftermath and Cove, with two classics featuring, such as Gears 1′s Raven Down and Jacinto from Gears 2 – as well as three new character skins: Commando Dom, Mechanic Baird, Savage Grenadier Elite and Savage Hunter. Guardian Mode will also return from Gears of War 2 as part of the DLC, along with seven new weapon skins, one of which is linked to MLG and the other to an cheevo easter egg. Forces of Nature’s will get ten additional achievements that tally up 250 Gamerpoints. The content will be the last as part of Gears 3′s Season Pass, but Epic isn’t quite ruling out more content for the future. “It’s kind of a ‘never say never’ perspective,” Epic director Rod Fergusson has told Digital Spy. “We’ve completed the obligation for those with the season pass, so it’s really now all about community demand and those sorts of things and what people want. But I mean, it takes a lot of effort to create DLC, and in terms of internal resources and what we’re focused on, that kind of stuff. “It’s really driven by player demand. If players are dying for it and they want it, then it’s something that we can definitely look at.” Forces of Nature launches on March 27 for 800 MS points.

Brilliant post Mayh3m.
