Joystiq reports 4 new deniable ops maps coming on May 27th for $10:

Source

The DLC announcement says that the Insurgency Pack will span four unique new settings: "from the docks of San Francisco to a New Orleans cemetery, a prison in Portland to a hidden research complex in Salt Lake City."

Awesome news. $10 seems very reasonable to me.

OK the only PEC challenge I have left is liberating my partner from 5 more choke holds. Is there any way to reliably do this in splitscreen with two controllers? Seems like when I want my 2nd player to get in a choke hold, he either gets knocked back or wins the scuffle.

I think it depends on the difficulty level and what level you're on. They didn't seem to put the player in a choke hold in the first few levels, but were going nuts towards the end (Russian Embassy and beyond).

Did Ubisoft release a TU to fix the online ?

Not that I'm aware of, although last few times I've played it's been better.

nice, lets hope this sells enough to warrant a DLC co-op campaign

[Insayne]

Are the denial ops missions going to work in co-op as well or only single player?

99% sure it's both.

I get the same thing.

Anyone know when they are supposed to release a patch for this game. I beat it on realistic and didn't get the achievement. The patch is supposed to fix this, right?

Just rambo the last two levels (starting at the Theater) again. I did it and blew through the game in 30 minutes on those levels.

LOL "Mark and Execute."

[Critical Jeff]

Yeah so I just rented this game from Blockbuster, and low and behold it freezes just after the beginning of the second level. I've tried clearing my cache and playing offline, but that does seem to fix it. Any suggestions?

Seriously wtf. Every new gun has been unsilenced. Totally useless.

Well the A-team didn't exactly knock it out of the park this time so...

[revolverjgw]

I really want to like this game, but I just can't get over the melee/mark thing, it's so non-sensical and gamey. Randomly gain superhuman killing abilities when you touch somebody, I fucking feel like Rogue from X-Men or something, I've never seen anything quite so jarringly unrealistic in a stealth game before. And if I decline to use it, the level and enemy layouts become irritating and lame because the game is designed with marking in mind.

no, Splinter Cell team is moved to Toronto now.

How is that more "gamey" than layouts that conveniently separate guards at set intervals, and guards that walk the in set paths forever? Aside from shooting through the walls when people move, it's just a quick kill. You could do the same (but slower) with your pistol. It's not like he turns into Neo and freezes their bullets or anything.

Insta-kill is a problem, but that's not even the thing that really irks me. It's the inability to do anything like that until Sam bonks somebody and gets the magical power-up that feels so out of place. There's necessary-evil gamey (none of these games, even the most lauded, like Thief, would be remotely beatable if there wasn't some sort of "divine intervention" in the level design and enemy behaviour), and then there's something like this. It just feels so damn strange.

And in addition to that, this game is just as bad as any other for gamey layout, what with serving you up guys that are clearly there just for you to get an easy insta-kill powerup.

It's too damn easy that's what it is. I played through a hunter mission on realistic and the guy I was playing with just went balls out Rambo and just shooting everything and using gadgets.

Mark and execute is "useful" in single player, in multiplayer it slows down the game too much. Honestly it's a good game but you don't really do that much :(

I wish there was WAY more complexity to the instant kills or something to make it more situational other than press one button to "win" basically.

I want a Colt Python with 6 execute marks.

The Insurgency Map Pack is out now. Anyone get it? The Achievements are:

Complete the missions on rookie or normal? I guess the achievements for the new co-op maps can be unlocked in Realistic difficulty too...at least I hope so - I don't want to be forced to play the new missions on normal to get the achievements.

[Sectus]

wait...so the new maps have coop missions too? I thought they were just gonna be for Deniable Ops

I just checked, it's only for deniable ops, no new missions. They must have messed up the naming for the achievemenrts.

[JaggedSac]

Is the pack free?

[ArachosiA 78]

It saddens me that this game isn't getting more love. I know it's not the Splinter Cell sequel we all wanted, but if you accept it on its own terms, it's pretty damn good, actually. Last Stand is one of the best co-op experiences I've ever had.

[Snuggler]

Argh, I still want to play this. I think I'm going with Alan Wake first but according to CAG, it will be $39.99 at Target starting this Sunday 5/30-6/05.

[TheSeks]

By the way- Fisher needs a Glock.

No he doesn't. All he needs is his fists a Five-seveN four enemies marked and the Y/whatever the fuck execute is on PC button.

[druie]

Has anyone purchased the DLC?

I got it yesterday, but it's not showing up in my game... I deleted the content and re-downloaded it... No luck. I also looked through every game mode in Deniable Ops, XBL, and Splitscreen. Pretty angry that it's not working after $10.
