Codemasters has made good on their promise, and officially announced the first content pack for Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising.   The pack is called the Skirmish pack and features two new cooperative missions for four players as well as four new maps for competitive play.  There's also a new sandbox mode called Island Tour which can be played cooperatively.

 The new co-op maps are called All Round Defence, which looks to be a survival mode type map with support and attack helicopters as players defend a fortified complex against waves of PLA; and Uphill Struggle has players trying to capture a bunker under heavy fire from hillside reinforcements.

This Week in Co-Op: Uncharted 2November 04th, 2009 at 10:49 AM by Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo

 

"The treasure is in the plaza" says Nathan.  All that stands in our way is a gigantic swarm of enemies that will lay their life on the line to protect it.  Or perhaps they want to steal it themselves?  No matter, our trio will shoulder on and steal what is rightfully ours.  If a few goons go down in the process, the world will be a better place for it.

Uncharted 2 Offers Double the Cash in Multiplayer This WeekendOctober 30th, 2009 at 3:25 PM by Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo

Not to be outdone by Gears of War 2, the boys at Naughty Dog are having their own double weekend in Uncharted 2 - but instead of double the experience they are giving out CASH!  Money!  MOOOLAH!  Ok, so it's only in game money, but it sounds better than XP, no?

Be on the lookout for Naughty Dog devs playing as well, they'll be denoted with a little paw icon next to their tag.  Also, watch out for those evil red eyed skeleton things - we aren't quite sure what they are - but I bet they are made of bags of cash.

 You'll get 2x the money per round and per checkpoint bringing you more bags of cash than you can carry.  Bring a wheel barrow, tell a friend, lock the doors.  Big money!  Big prizes!  I LOVE IT!

Modern Warfare 2 Ads Show the Dangers of Not Playing Co-OpOctober 30th, 2009 at 8:10 AM by Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo

 

If only these guys decided to play the cooperative Spec Ops mode in Modern Warfare 2, instead of trash talking each other, perhaps there wouldn't have been a "snow mobile accident."  Wal-Mart is running a set of ads that feature the duo and the game, and for the most part, they are pretty entertaining.

But seriously, does anyone trash talk like this?

Fairytale Fights Launch Trailer Tells a Little Tale, Shows a Lotta BloodOctober 29th, 2009 at 2:14 PM by Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo

 

Fairytale Fights has already been released, but that didn't stop PlayLogic from releasing a launch trailer for the four player co-op title.  What's in store?  Blood.  Lots and lots of blood.  I also thing I spy some dismemberment, some kicks to the head, some matrix style camera work, and a handful of big dead wolves.  

This isn't a bedtime fairytale by any means.
