Army of Two DLC on Xbox Live

By Tom Bramwell Published 28 April, 2008

And US PSN.

As promised, Xbox 360 owners can now download the SSC Challenge Map Pack for Army of Two.

The Map Pack costs 600 Microsoft Points (GBP 5.10 / EUR 7.20) and consists of four new environments to do some co-operating in, or possibly to race one another in.

As you may remember, the Pack was due out on PlayStation Network in the US at the same time (and duly appeared), but will not be released on the PAL version of the PlayStation Store until next month.

To use the new content, EA/Microsoft advises you to select Versus, Custom Match, then go to Game Type and select SSC Challenge, pick a map and "begin the carnage".

We'll let you know what we think of the maps in an upcoming DLC Roundup of some sort. Probably. It's hard to look beyond this evening's pigeon-hunting expedition in Liberty City at the moment.

    I really like the idea from the videos I've seen but that should have been free. It's not like tons of people are playing this game, which by the way doesn't allow play between Europe and US.

    You cant choose to play it from the menu. So you have to set up a game youself and invite 3 friends. Thats crap.

    I was disappointed with these maps, simply because you can't play them co-op as part of the campaign, they are versus maps. And as far as I've seen the multiplayer versus community for Ao2 is virtually extinct.

    Ao2's big selling point is the close co-ordination of two players acting as one unit. To get players online to take two very close teams head to head is a tall ask. Most of my enjoyment of the game has come from co-op against the AI enemy on the missions. So I was keen to experience even more missions, having played through the main campaign co-op almost three times complete now on the different difficulty levels. Finding out the content is versus only (after I'd foolishly bought it) was a major let down. Ao2's appeal will dwindle if they don't deliver new co-op missions to play through. Versus just isn't where its at.

    All the adverts leading up to the DLC release, use the term mulitplayer very loosely. What is needed for Ao2 is co-operative multiplayer against the AI (ie. more co-op enabled campaign missions). NOT co-operative multiplayer maps for competitive play against other players!

    amen to that. I am now firmly in the grip of IVitis.

    Spelk, thank you VERY much for clearing this up for me - finally, some clarity on what it is and isn't. I am in the exact same situation as yourself - I want 2-player co-op vs AI and NOT versus human - and have been extremely frustrated at the mixed messaging of this DLC. Sometimes it seems like it's for 2 players, other times not. I'm very glad I read your comment as I now know I will NOT be buying this.
