This weeks Deal of the Week is now available. The Gears of War 2: Combustible Multiplayer Map Pack, normally 800 points is now available for Xbox LIVE Gold Members for 560 points
Add the Gears of War 2: Combustible Multiplayer Map Pack to your Xbox 360 download queue
Already have it, Plus if people wait a month they can get it free with the Dark Corners add-on. Was hopen for another great deal on an Arcade title, I can wait.
Great buy so i will wait till July though sorry microsoft.. no money this week maybe next week.. lol then again probly next week.. Magic the gathering XBLA is coming out!! WHOOO HOO!!!
Damn, I have this already. I could have done with the other one coming down in price.
+ For those who have no GoW DLC yet, this is a sneaky move from MS as like Chitwood7412 said, the Dark Corners add-on is coming out soon. It's cheaper to wait for that and get it in the bundle.
Don't have this, but this is pointless seeing as you can get it free next month, so once again, another lame deal of the week I bet a few suckers will jump on this and not realize it will be free with the Dark Corners Map Pack.
Seems like Microsoft is trying to get as much money as possible
@kigmal its only included with the retail box of the map pack
Too bad the Gears2 multiplayer is horrible. They should make deal of the week a half price arcade game or something everybody can make use of.
At least it isnt a deal for a two year old game like it usually is
Lame again.
For those of you who do not know, THERE IS NO RETAIL VERSION of the Dark Corners Add-On! Due to fan outcry, it was canceled (so go get your $5 back if you reserved it!)...now it is only going to be released digitally, with the new map pack at 1200 pts, and the bundle (new maps plus all 3 other map packs...2 post release and Flashback) for 1600 pts.
Like others have said, this "deal" is only for people out of the loop...definitely a better deal to wait a month, and get everything at once, for $20 (1600pts), rather than buying it in pieces.
Would love a deal of the week on Crackdown DLC
Yeah, they did cancel the retail version of dark corners. Oh well, Gears 2 multiplayer is still horrible. I'm not going to buy maps for a broken game. After 3 TU, they still can't get it right, but at least they are in the right direction. Stick to Halo 3 if you want a good online multiplayer experience.
Thank you killer scuzzy for explaining why another of these "Deals" suck yet again.
I'm sure most people want Arcade games on Deals of the week, not map packs, vehicle packs and similars...
Meh. I've waited this long to buy the maps, no reason to jump on this before the All Fronts collection is released. Too bad the retail version was dumped--I was looking forward to it. I'd rather have a disc for $20 than a digital copy for $15. But that's just me.
Wow... I've been waiting for this deal since the Combustible pack came out. It should be free by now (should have been free to start with, but that's another matter), but they can't even lower it to 400pts? I would have caved in at 400 since I have 420 leftover points, but now I'll just bide my time until All Fronts Collection.
The latest entry on the Arcade Hits came half a year ago. UPDATE THIS, GET THE GUIDE FIXED, MAKE THE MARKETPLACE faster. DO YOUR JOB RIGHT MS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And don`t bother us with this crap. There are not only 10 year old kids playing on the xbox. And if you call this or all the other "deals" a "Deal of the week" then you are just plain stupid or you think that a 26 year old guy like me is stupid. YOUR CHOICE.
"Seems like Microsoft is trying to get as much money as possible"
MICROSOFT?
A BUSINESS?
MAKING MONEY?!
You must be bloody insane!
Also Gears 2 MP is horrible Lolololol I'm going to bash it on every article that mentions the game.
yeah Microsoft were all idiots. lets buy your "DEAL" before its free.
thanks for treating us like fools.
Gears 2 multiplayer is fine after three updates... not horrible.
I downloaded this map pack when it first came out I think I've only played it once. I remember back in the good old pc days they would release map packs for FREE. You only have to pay for expansion packs that had REAL content.
@Keeby Boy,
Agreed, Gears 2 multiplayer may have been borderline horrible for a while after launch, but since TU3 and the recent smoke greande nerf I think it is borderline awesome.
@Codename 76,
Alas, those WERE the good ol' days. But with the advent of the Marketplace all we get now-a-days is money pinching "DLC". At least Valve still dishes out free stuff on a regular basis, and even Epic released a lot of free content for Unreal Tournament 3 on PC -- too bad they can't do the same on Xbox with Gears (I assume because of their publisher).
@Keeby Boy
Compared to any other 360 multiplayer it stinks. Epic are clueless when it comes to fixing their buggy game. 3 updates and it's still a heap of junk. Red Faction, L4D, COD and Halo are all far superior online experiences.
I wish they'd just give us half price arcade games for deal of the week in future.
I'd pay for working multiplayer before I buy DLC
People should wait for the big pack. This will be included on the big pack!
