Red Faction: Battlegrounds
I've been thoroughly enjoying the newest Red Faction game, titled Armageddon. Now that game's little brother, the downloadable vehicular combat game, Red Faction: Battlegrounds has new DLC packs ready to download and enjoy, and we've got a metric ****-ton of screenshots for showing them off. The first pack is called the Armageddon Pack and happens concurrently to Darius Mason's travails fighting off Adam Hale, his cultists, and the dangerous new life forms they've unleashed. It includes four new playable vehicles, two new arenas, four new training missions, and one new pick up. The second one, called the Origins Pack includes gear related to the White Faction seen in Syfy channel's shockingly decent Red Faction movie called Red Faction: Origins. That pack also includes four new playable vehicles, two new arenas, four new training missions, one new pick up, but also adds a brand new race game mode. Both packs are priced at $2.99 on the PSN and 240 MSP on Xbox Live.
Just when you thought it was safe to happily inhabit the surface of Mars… it has once again exploded into a Battleground. Introducing the Armageddon Pack and Origins Pack, two incendiary downloadable content packs for Red Faction: Battlegrounds, available now on Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network. Each with their own new weapons, vehicles, maps and achievements/trophies, Origins and Armageddon build upon the four-player vehicular mayhem of Red Faction: Battlegrounds. Both packs can be downloaded from the Battlegrounds in-game store from the game’s main menu and are priced at $2.99 on PSN, and at 240 Microsoft Points on Xbox Live Arcade.
ARMAGEDDON PACK
Based on the technology and weaponry from Red Faction: Armageddon, the Armageddon Pack takes place at the same time Darius Mason is saving Mars from the cultist Adam Hale. The EDF tank gets a makeover with three plasma mini-guns, while the LAV gets a Singularity cannon – this amazing weapon fires mini black-holes and literally eats the opposition for breakfast. This pack also gives a glimpse of the environments in Red Faction: Armageddon. Deep underground in Mars, you’ll encounter real extremes, from deep frozen ice to rivers of magma. Begin the journey to discover mankind’s newest and greatest threat.
4 new playable vehicles:
· EDF Crusader Tank - with three plasma mini-guns
· LAV - armed with a Singularity cannon
