MyMothersMySister Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 mmm, nice picture also suggests 3 or 4 player multiplayer I can't believe that but it would indeed be nice. For me it looks as if the person driving the closest buggy is an Agency Peacekeeper. It would be nice though. However in the meantime I've been larking about on multiplayer with a friend and we've been trying to think of different fun things to do in Crackdown on Xbox Live. Does anyone have any good suggestions for fun and wacky things to do? Funniest thing I've tried was with the member Seddo from these very forums. One gets in a car and the other tries to get a skip to land on top of it upside down so it's a mobile skip. We got the idea from here.

Sixdust Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Team Xbox have got hold of some info on the upcoming downloadable content for Crackdown. Oh, sorry. Did I say some? I meant more than you can possibly handle. Think I'm exaggerating? Check it: # There will be three updates. One is the regular old title update, which will fix some/most of the game's little niggles. One is called the "Getting' Busy Bonus Pack", and will cost you. The other is called the "Free-for-all" pack, and is...free. # The free pack is basically a debug mode. You can set your own character's attributes waaay over their current limits (ie KICK IT UP A NOTCH), place items and vehicles on the game map and give yourself unlimited ammo. You can do all this from within the game, too, a pop-up menu available without having to pause it. # The free pack also gives you access to vehicle impounding at the Agency Tower garage, which acts just like the securing of weapons at supply points did, but with cars. # The paid pack gives you three new vehicles. You get the buggy shown in earlier screens, as well as an Agency Pursuit Vehicle (open-top Batmobile) and the Agency Armoured Vehicle, which is basically a tank. # You also get an expanded street-racing setup and four new weapons, the pick of which is the HRX Harpoon gun, which fires spears which will impale criminals against buildings or vehicles. You also get a cloaking device, which takes you off the radar and leaves you barely visible. # The paid pack also gets you four new race/game modes, like Rocket Tag, Stockpile, Checkpoint Chase and Max-Ability Rooftop Chases. # The new DLC brings with it seven new achievements, clocking in at 350 achievement points. # Finally, the title update stuff fixes some issues like making stunt rings more visible, making orbs easier to find by increasing the radius of their audio cues, better camera views when you're driving up walls and the ability to shoot at tighter angles when leaning over a balcony. Best news? If you're too stingy to fork out for the premium pack, so long as you're playing co-op with someone who has, you'll have access to all the shiny new toys and features. That's one hell of a load of DLC. Granted, most of it looks like stuff that was intended for the final game but didn't make it, but since the game was so fab anyways that's a moot point. The paid stuff sounds good (of course, that depends on how much they charge for it), but even the free update blows away most other game's premium content. No word on prices or release dates, but that can't be too far away. Kotaku I can't wait to get crackdown, this will make the game even better. I am already thinking about that debug mode and tank.

AlianAnt Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 The ability to set my attributes is gonna pwn. I always thought that the top-level in all the skills wasn't quite over-the-top enough.

MyMothersMySister Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 • - 3 new vehicles • - 4 new weapons • - Orb audio increased • - Bugs fixed and 7 new achievements All in all all 3 of these packs are going to rock out and turn an already good game into an even better one. I might even go back on and attempt those races etc now which annoyed the sh*t out of me. The cloaking device, Harpoon and open topped pursuit vehicle are going to be quality. No 4 player though which would topped it off totally. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/266489-crackdown/page/6/#findComment-4229971 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knife Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Was just looking at this, seems like some good addons. I hope they don't charge too much though (for example, Shivering Isles for Oblivion was a stupidly high price).

TheDude5000 Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Holy sh*t that vehicle concept art is f*cking tits. Can't wait for this, glad I saved up my Marketplace points. I can image how many hours of replay value are added to the game now...it would be great if the debug thing worked in co-op too.

Mafia Righthand_Man Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Looks like I'll be getting Crackdown this week. In combination with that, my new working XBOX, and my 1 moth free of LIVE, I will be playing Halo 3 on my birthday. (DOn't worry, Crackdown too ) it makes me smile when somebody says they will be getting crackdown. because i know a day later they will be sitting at work/school shaking saying "i need crackdown, i neeeeeeeeeed crackdown" i am sure they could drop "down" from crackdown and nobody would flinch I rented it for the first time yesterday and I've already been feeling withdrawals. I NEED MY CRACKDOWN FIX! Anyhow, I'm really enjoying this game. I love being able to scale up buildings and such, and pick sh*t up. I'm greatly enjoying it. I'll probably buy once my rental is up.

Andy... Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 (edited) I just jizzed. This is just the sort of downloadable content we need. f*cking awesome. Also this (official) link has a few more tidbits to get stuck into and it looks prettier than MMMS's But thanks for bringing this news to us MMMS, it's certainly made my day! Other Link Edit- HRX “Harpoon” * A powerful gas-powered mechanism capable of launching a deadly, razor-sharp spear over large distances with incredible accuracy * Can be used to ensure enemies “stick around” when players need them to, or to attach perps to their vehicle if they need to take them downtown…or around town Oh my freaking God.

TheDude5000 Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 Dl'd all of it. The buggy is f*cking sweet, I exited Tunnel 2, made that first jump, and I crashed into a rock, but the thing BACKFLIPS, and I turn it 180 degrees to get it back on the wheels. Whoa. The on-board cannon is equally awesome, blew up like 2 volk cars with no problem. The Keys To The City option really opens up the game. Most of these non-R* open world games on consoles feel so restricted and locked down, you never get to the level of cheats/freedom like you can in San Andreas for example. Not anymore, now Crackdown really feels opened up to do a bunch of sh*t you were never meant to do. I can't wait to get some people on co-op and spawn like 100 barrels, stunting around in buggys, it's gonna be great.

TheDude5000 Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 Just played some more. The proximity mines are f*cking great, you can now jump really, really high, and there's a new ability called groundstrike that lets you hit the ground with your fists when you land, knocking down all enemies around you and killing on contact. The armored truck looks great, has awesome rockets, and is suprisingly fast. I kicked the sh*t out of Wang, climbed his tower quit easily, then jumped right off the top of it(one of the highest points in the game if not the highest) and there's a nice new graphical effect when you do that. Kicking cars now is much more fun, and kicking enemies is even more fun. The harpoon is awesome, and the mini-gun shreds everything in sight. Kinda hard to spawn a lot of barrels without the first few exploding, but I'd like to try out that domino effect explosion from that vid. All in all, this sets a new standard for DLC, and I'm stoked they released it so quickly after announcing it, more importantly, before the H3 Beta.
