Crackdown 2 Deluge DLC out now

By Wesley Yin-Poole Published 16 November, 2010

You Ruffians.

Crackdown 2's Deluge DLC is out now.

It costs 560 MS Points and weights in at 122.3 MB. Queue it up for download here.

The Deluge DLC pack adds a new co-op arcade mode which pits up to four players against increasingly more challenging waves of enemies. You'll also get Capture the Orb, which is a standard capture-the-flag mode for up to 16 players. A video showcasing all of this is below.

There are new achievements and avatar awards to sink your teeth into, too.

A trial version of the DLC is available, which gives you the complete Capture the Orb mode and a single-player version of Deluge for free.

Crackdown 2, from Ruffian Games, was released mid way through the year and scored an impressive 8/10 from Christian Donland.

    I love these 'Horde' modes but seriously - lets innovate people!

  • kinky_mong #3 2 years ago

    Ooooh a horde mode for the most disappointing sequel of this gaming generation! ZZZZZZzzzzzz

    One of the achievements also requires you to have or know someone who has a Windows 7 phone and has played the Crackdown spin-off on it. :\

    So basically, endless swarms of enemies. A bit like the 'capture the command points' bits, and the 'activate the sunlight devices' bits too.

    Fuck off, please. Make a proper sequel now. The city is fixed and is bright and colourful and cel-shaded again, and 'Catalina Thorne' has died after choking on a fish bone.

    Will this be like the achievement in the main game, where you just had to play with someone who had the duck from the spinoff game, get it yourself, then you're able to pass it on?

    Is anyone still playing Crackdown 1.5?

  • Der_tolle_Emil #7 2 years ago

    I really can't believe anyone would pay for DLC that offers exactly the same thing as the game already did to death. Yeah, we get it, capture a point and wait for the swarms of enemy to stop spawning. The entire single player campaign is based around this and I'm sure everyone got tired of it after the 3rd mission or so.

    I'll wait for the GOTY year edition. Oh, wait there won't be one cause it's fucking shit.

  • weejok #9 2 years ago

    Very poor DLC, could easily have been included in the previous DLC pack. Greedy bastards

    It's viral, as I understand.

    Having played most of the day, this really is quite good. It's not what I expected, with you holding points as enemies ramp up. It has you doing massive tours of each island, mostly clearing out areas of different groups of enemies, racking up combos and using different new power ups.

    There really is a lot more to it that I had assumed, including new UV Burst Boots that make freak crown control a bunch of fun :)
