Here's the original link through Gamefaqs... http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/632877-halo-4/64879917 I can confirm that I downloaded the Crimson Maps and played an online match of capture the flag without problem.

Thanks for the tip! It showed up as free for me, and the download seemed to work. Note that I canceled the download after a little bit and then accessed and finished downloading it from my history.

The Black Ops 2 Nuke town zombie map was also showing up as free in the in-game store, but the download for that hit 99% and would just continuously loop.

That's the spirit!

Skipping this week's DOTW, confirmed.

Use Map Settings... been a long time since I've read that. Good ol' days. I can't believe that game is nearing its 15th birthday and is still on shelves everywhere.

I can't even figure out how to access the Fun Labs thingamabobs. It makes me feel extraordinarily ignorant.

OK, gonna combo-break my chain of quotes here. I have no idea what the general consensus is either here or on the great wide internets, but FWIW, co-op is the only multiplayer bundled with the game itself (though that may be all that matters to some of you) - all the other multiplayer modes such as deathmatch are included with the Jewel of the Nile DLC. So essentially you're paying 1200 MSP for the full package, which doesn't sound incredibly enticing, but it beats 2400 so I'm probably gonna bite.

While hacking the OP, all I could find was that the GOLD edition included the "Modern Times" DLC, but didn't find mention of any other DLC included. If you know it includes the others (and can supply a URL for OCD'ers like me), feel free to hack the OP, or just confirm here in the thread for others to do so.

Thanks!

Yeah, I was just about to post that the lame Gold Edition only has the Modern Times DLC and none of the others for some reason.

I'll have to ask my friend how active the MP is, but definitely in for at least the SP portion of Serious Sam 3 next week.

Here's hoping we get some good sales the next two weeks. I have these point cards burning a hole in my pocket.

Hum I'd like to see the the second dlc (that isn't 80 MSP) for ME 1 on sale so I could finally start the series from the beginning with all the dlc for all of them lol =O

As an enormous fan of all three Mass Effect games I can tell you: Pinnacle Station is super lame. The only reason it's worth playing is for the gamerscore. Do not let it prevent you from starting ME!

To elaborate-- Pinnacle Station is combat trials. I think even people who think ME1 is the best in the series and didn't like the changes that came with 2 will say that the combat is NOT what made the game fun. On its own, divorced from the role playing elements, it doesn't stand up as a third person shooter.

I'm planning to do the same thing as well! Mass effect trilogy perfect story run!

Is Modern Times DLC even worth it?

Bad place to ask, but for season pass holders for BO2, can you guys play nuketown zombies today? I know it comes out tomorrow, but there's showings for it all over the dashboard.

Nothing for me this week. Too bad I missed the AC DLC sale since I needed them all, but the week before I blew all my MSP on Pac Man. :/

I could only get The Lost Archive and the Ancesters pack for Revelations.

Another Assassin's Creed DLC sale is inevitable. If you've missed any 2K or Bethesda DLC recently, don't sweat that either. :p

Tropico 4: Modern Times Review

It does also add 250 achievement points as well if you are interested in that.

Knew I should've checked Destructoid before I asked. Thanks! And I guess I'll splurge since I got enough points from every damn deal this Holiday season for MS points.

Any word on the big annual XBLA Holiday sale yet?

There sure is. http://majornelson.com/

Its existence is confirmed. Beyond that, like any special sale, we won't know until the day of the sale.

I hope there is actually something to buy, everything going on sale recently seems to be on disc already or not worth the time.

The last few years this has become the best expected sale of the year. I'm sure there will be something for everyone. I'd wager we see Fez for 400msp.

Deadlight is due for a sale, I'm guessing 600 points.
