GrawThe Ubisoft website says the following:

"...experience with a wide array of new playable maps, game modes and character customization features. This premium content package is available now for download via the Xbox Live! Marketplace for 1200 points."

You say what!? 1200 points, isn't that a little too much? That's like 15 bucks. The small expansion for the Xbox 360 first person shooter was only recently announced, and already is available on the Marketplace. The new multiplayer co-op campaign is set in Nicaragua (which isn't Mexico people). Ubisoft also gives the following set of features:

  • Continuation of the Multiplayer Co-op Campaign with 4 All New Missions in Chapter 2
  • 8 Revisited; Relit Multiplayer Adversarial Maps
  • 2 All New Game Types with 1 New Game Mode - Team Battle
  • 2 New Camouflage Patterns
  • 4 New Character Customization Faces
  • 5 New Weapons
Maybe it's not that much, but it does show the sneaky side of the whole Microsoft Points scheme. Eight new multiplayer maps is a lot, yeah, but is it worth $15? Ubisoft's Marketing Director, John Parks, thinks it is: "The release of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter has been a resounding success as it continues to top both sales and Xbox Live charts, and we are extremely excited to build upon that success with the release of this massive content update in Chapter 2."

Oh god you whiny little *****es. As somebody put it, it costs rougly 8$ to go see a movie - that's 2 hours of enjoyment. So, with this Downloadable content, expect 4 hours of good gameplay... I'm going to have alot more than that I can assure you. *****, mow a lawn and get paid 15$ - It's not that expensive.

I will side on the people who have said it's slow. I woke up this morning to find it had stopped.. but, It saved 20% of the download, I can't complain, others have had their download go back to 1%. We need 3 Servers for this kind of download.

I got the download and it is DEFINITELY worth every penny. There is so much new content there. I would gladly pay the fee (as I did). If you got it, play a coop with me...my gamer tag is xX DBLAZE Xx
