Metro 2033 DLC Detailed

Metro 2033 DLC Detailed

The Ranger Pack will hit the Marketplace soon

Written by zigs00 on 12 May 10 at 17:28

THQ have today quashed the speculation and confirmed that there is indeed DLC in the works for the surprisingly successful Metro 2033.

The Ranger Pack - that's the DLC's name, just to be patronising - will add new weapons and new game rules. Big whoop right? How about this enticing titbit: the DLC will be accompanied by new achievements, worth 250G.

THQ have described The Ranger Mode rules like this:
In standard Ranger Mode, ammo is dramatically reduced and all weapons cause more damage. Your foes are deadlier than ever – but so are you! ‘Ranger Hardcore’ adds an additional challenge as the HUD is totally removed, creating the most immersive Metro 2033 experience yet.The two new weapons have also been named: the Heavy Automatic Shotgun and Miller’s signature gun, the Volt Driver.

No price or release date yet, but THQ have stated that it's coming "in the very near future" and will confirm the price closer to release.

I love Metro 2033, but if all the DLC is, is taking away the HUD and reducing ammo, then I'm not paying for that. Most games have these features in the Options menu when it's released. But if they release another mission, then I would consider buying it.

Just rented and beat this game. I thought it was really good and will probably pick it up when it's cheaper. I love the pneumatic weapons!

I was hoping for a little more than an "Insanity" mode for the new dlc though... :(

man ive already played through this game 5 times, this just shows it pays to wait a couple months after so the developers can put out everything they meant to put in the retail game.
and that heavy shotgun, now that shows that gamestops exclusives are only exclusive for a couple months

There are a lot of cool innovations with Metro tho. Like the cool gas mask and the lighter/journal. Great stuff. Oh yah, and pumping the pneumatic weapons to get that one shot head kill rules! laugh

Excellent game and fun from beginning to end. I would prefer they release new missions and environments to accompany this new 'hardcore' mode, but I will most likely get this either way.

Great game, but anything more than $5 for basically insanity difficulty and 250G would be a rip off.

because you release a game on the 360, it can be incomplete and add DLC later to complete it, thus making more money.

They've said, on their Twitter, for months that they were going to release DLC and it wasn't what most people would be interested in but thought that some would enjoy it. And, to me, it sounds just fine. Hard mode actually wasn't very hard at all. This new mode actually sounds like it'll drastically change how the game is played... at least until you get the Hellsing.

Yes I did read it, then I said that most these features are in games when they are released. + that Auto Shotgun was an "Exclusive" item with pre-orders.

Does this game have a demo on the marketplace?

I'll buy this DLC, I loved the game, and this will be a great incentive to go back and do the other achievements I missed.
It's a three-pronged attack. Subliminal, liminal and superliminal.

the auto shotgun was a pre-order/limited edition exclusive so thats just great!

I've got 1 playthrough to go on the standard game, guess I better get on with that before this comes out although I'm not that impressed by what it has to offer!

I'll be buying this, Metro really surprised me. Picked it up because I could get it for $15, and it ihas become my favorite game released this year. Hopefully "in the very near future" means next month.

Hopefully this will be priced correctly
